    Lana was amazing. She had such a lovely voice and is very knowledgeable. She goes out of her way to make us all comfortable and make our trip as enjoyable as possible. Our driver, Christopher was excellent and they make a very good team. The one thing that needs a lot of improvement is the food as it was not good at all.
