Normally, I am really satisfied with your trips! But this time the driver was looking at his phone. He was texting during the whole drive, which made me uncomfortable, because he often wasn’t fully aware of the surroundings…!

Actually everything was great, but sometimes the driver hit the road very hard so the kids are a bit scared. All in all still good job.
