3.They didn't let me go until they had driven around for about two hours.

I think #3 is correct. But I wonder if #1 and #2 are correct. If they are not correct, can you tell me why?

Thanks.

#3 is correct in the intended meaning. #1 and #2 can be good sentences, but they would have different meanings.
