this was a same group travelling to the Space centre, it truly was a memorible moment I was not very keen to begin with, but the trip down way amazing driver very imformative of Orlando. The bus driver once we arrive at Kennedy Space centre was very easy to understand, was very knowledgeable of NASA and what happens at the plant. Very good day :)

We had a great day and Mauricio was a very good driver. He was very informative and entertaining and went above and beyond. We were disappointed with the quality of the snacks provided however which were very sugary, low quality and unhealthy and could really benefit from an upgrade. Apart from that everything was good thank you.
