I’ll be as honest as I can be to give you the good, the bad and the ugly. Booking and payment was very easy and you can set the date for full payment or pay straight away. Information about the trip was received the day before with pick up times and advice about what to expect however this came after departure from home so I personally wasn’t prepared.
