It took us through some beautiful parts of the country we never would have experienced otherwise. It was filled with uphills, downhills, and plenty of twists and turns to keep things interesting, and the road was wide enough that nobody in our group felt unsafe. They also took us to the two most beautiful beaches we saw on our trip.” - Reviewed on 2023-11-28
