“Journey and views itself are amazing. But pick up was booked for 5am then after midnight (less than 5 hours before pick up ) they messaged to say it would be 5.30am because sunrise is later than usual.. sunrise doesn’t change 30 mins from day to day… I was asleep and woke up to be ready for the scheduled pick up only to be waiting an extra 30 mins. The scheduled trip includes 1 hour for breakfast which is part of the cost. No breakfast was offered, only tea and coffee. When I messaged the company they didn’t believe that I wasn’t offered breakfast and said changing the pick up…”
