Horrible experience

Most horrific “tour” I’ve ever been on! Driver had zero idea of where he was going. Was constantly looking at his phone…completely unsafe. No turn signals used. Hitting and up on curbs. Then to top off the whole experience he drove onto the EXPRESS WAY in basically a GOLF CART not to mention there were 2 kids on the back!!! There is nowhere to get off that is safe right now so I’m stuck on this nightmare. I want 150% of my money back!
