Fun trip, but no AC at the rear half of the bus - The trip was fun and the guide was interesting and knowledgeable. Knocked off one star because the AC in the bus was horrible. It was 86 outside and we were baking in the bus, even with the AC “on.”. Couldn’t even feel it if you sat further back than the third row. The driver didn’t let the bus run even during quick stops, so it would heat up inside and not even cool down before the next stop. At the final stop, 16 of 17 of us were back in the bus, and the driver let us bake in there for 15 minutes while we waited for the last person to get back to the bus. He should have turned it on and let us get some air, but he wouldn’t. It was like a sauna.
