We were given one cheese and ham roll and two biscuits to keep us going through a 13 hour bus journey. We were all starving the entire journey. We also weren't given enough to drink- 2 coffees and one small cup of juice. This for a bus that was supposed to provide us food. At least have stops if this is how little food you give your passengers.

Tips were demanded from the team unloading at the Salta end of the trip. Very disappointing especially as many people had no Argentinian currency. A disappointing end to an otherwise good trip.
