Die Buchung über getyourguide war einfach und es hat alles perfekt gepasst. Der Host vor Ort war sehr nett, auch weil wir unseren Trip wegen starkem Wind um einen Tag verschieben mussten. Dies wurde uns in einer E-Mail rechtzeitig mittgeteilt. Am nächsten Tag war das Wetter besser und es war einfach wunderschön
