The drivers were great! They did a wonderful job in getting us to and from the airport and with handling our luggage. The airport greeters were easy to find and pleasant. Also, the buses were nice, cool and CLEAN. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone. However, if you are in a hurry and want to go directly to and from your destination I would suggest booking the private transfer because they do make several stops along the way. For us this was no problem. Great job!

I really loved the trip. The gear was nice, and the weather was beautiful. I think that two of the stops could have been a little more exciting, like to a coral reef maybe, but other than that, the trip was fantastic.
