Review Insights and Potential Drawbacks
While there are no formal reviews available yet, the detailed service description and similar experiences in the area suggest this transfer is well-regarded for its reliability and professionalism. However, one consideration may be the cost—$134 per person could seem high for solo travelers or those on a tight budget. The added luxury and personalized service do, however, justify the price for many who prioritize comfort.
Another point is gratuities aren’t included, so tipping is at your discretion—something to keep in mind for travelers who like to show appreciation for exceptional service.
