It's long days (leaving hotel at 8am and back again between 6-8pm that evening) but rest stops were very well timed and we never got the feeling that we were on the bus too long before stopping.

It was discouraging listening for 40 minutes of laughing and clapping. We sometimes got one sentence in English. We were pressured to buy the meal plan which I'm so glad we didn't. They stopped at Chinese restaurants for lunch and dinner every day. I tried to explain I have celiac but we were told we need to get fast food when we stopped if we didn't get the meal plan. There were very few options…”
