“We had a great time! Our driver Sushi was such a vibe. She sang with us, checked up on us and cracked jokes the entire time. At point, one of us were feeling dizzy from the swings and she helped heal us with her powers and gave us time to relax in the car. She helped me with shopping. She has been our favourite drive so far!”
