our driver Marco sorted everything for us and cold water and phone chargers in the car was the highlight. Last day of the trip so it wasnt too busy. Handy if youre short on time, and bang on time, 40 min ride, and bang on time, 40 min ride. Would book again no question.

our driver Giulia was nice enough, but help with the bags at both ends felt a bit rushed honestly, and not as good as the one we did in Crete tbh.

our driver Tariq was brilliant and the driver waiting with my name on a sign was the highlight, and spot on for a couples day out, and clean car, free water.
