While I really wanted to love this experience I am giving it a barely passing grade. First, getting into the vehicle was extremely difficult due to the extremely high step up into the seats. I literally had to crawl into the space. The area between the seats was barely 18” if that wide… far too narrow for the six adults on the ride. Our knees touched, our feet were tangled together with those on the sides left to dangle their feet into the well where the first totally inadequate step was. There certainly should have been some cautions on load limits as cramped doesn’t even come close to describing the painful circumstances of the ride. With the canopy on the vehicle, it was difficult to see anything of the murals we were supposed to be viewing. Even switching side’s didn’t improve the view.
Now for the bright light of tour…the guide. He was engaging, good natured, knowledgeable, and attentive…managing to sift thru the chatter of the participants and answer questions with humor and charm. He was also an extremely good driver, skillfully avoiding being broadsided by an idiot who ran a red light. The people on the ride also made heroic efforts to make the best of the painful situation.
So bottom line, provide a better step up into the vehicle, don’t seat more than 4 adults max. Plan the route with sight lines in mind so the participants can see what they are paying for.
