We bought this for our friends birthday, there were 3 of us and it was absolutely horrendous. From the very beginning the whole was unorganized. We bought tickets together, then get on the bus to find out they had no seats for us and that we'd choose to either sit apart or we'd have to squish into a 2-seater and also eat the amount of food for 2. When we complained, the "supervisor" dismissed us and said the seats are random and there's nothing she can do. The seats are random yet we received an actual table number when we booked and then they gave our table away to someone else? She was obviously lying. Going to the food, its HORRIBLE. Most of the food was not even edible, you can see how old and stale it all is like it's been sitting there for weeks. It's absolutely disgusting. The tea service is also mid, they give you two sips of tea in a plastic to-go cup. For $100 + this experience was probably the worst I have ever purchased in my life. Horrible customer service, horrible service in general. DO NOT BOOK THIS.

If I could give zero stars I would. I purchased tickets for my mom and daughter to go on the bus as a gift. They had a miserable time due to the air conditioning not working on a 98 degree day in Austin, Texas. The bus even had to pull over at one point to let the chef off to get some air as it was COOLER outside than it was on the bus. Their desserts were melting and they were sweaty and overheated. The people on the bus kept apologizing and they felt bad for those working as well. I reached out to the company for a refund and their response was very much copy and paste and offered me a 5 PERCENT discount on a future booking. This was an expensive gift and experience that was TERRIBLE. Avoid booking this experience.

It was a neat experience, very friendly hosts Only complaint was the air conditioning was not working and the heat was simply unbearable. I look forward to trying this again
