Excursion was well organized. From the booking to the execution itself – perfect. The bus driver can only be mentioned positively. TOP TEAM also the photographer. Thanks
A very nice excursion, but when asked if there were bathing breaks, the answer was that unfortunately it was impossible. So we didn’t have any bathing suits with us and we made 2 bathing stops. It was very annoying because we didn’t have anything with us at 30 degrees and unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy the beautiful water. Please change the tour description.
Had a great day. Seen much. Really worth it and value for money!
Great tour enjoyed every minute of it.
