geweldig, de gids had veel te vertellen.
vandaag een hele leuke toer gehad met Jack. Hele enthousiaste schot! Veel wetenswaardigheden met humor verteld. Echt een aanrader!
I really enjoyed the trip! Jack W was our guide and he made the whole journey so much fun. His commentary was informative, full of interesting facts, and he kept us laughing throughout the day. The places we visited were beautiful and well-paced. Overall, it was a great experience and I’d definitely recommend it!
We had a lovely time! Jerry was amazing and very knowledgeable. The only unpleasant surprise was online, the estimated length of the trip was 8.5 hours and in actually it was 10.5. Still thoroughly recommend this trip, as the sights were amazing! Just definitely have to budget appropriately for the time.
De los 3 tours que hecho con esta plataforma, 2 no llevaban AUDIO GUIA en ningún idioma. Me parece que debían incorporar, necesariamente no todos tenemos el conocimiento de inglés suficiente
