The driver arrived at our hotel on time. When picking up more guests, the tour guide found out that there were not enough places in the van, so our daughter had to sit on our lap. Fortunately, the transfer was only a short piece. The boat trip through the river and out to sea was very nice. We stopped twice for a swim. 1x off the coast of side and 1x in the river. Both very nice places where you can swim. The lunch that was included was tasty. What was just a pity was that the name constantly came along to expire something, so you felt a bit forced to purchase something. When paying in euros, 2.50 € was charged for exchange costs, very strange. Then the transfer to the bazaar and back to the hotel was also a bit messy. Too little space in the van again. All in all a very nice day.

Fantastic day! Door to door collection and drop off. The trip included so many additional fun experiences, great value for money! Delicious lunch! All staff were fabulous, especially the ship's entertainment crew, who were energetic, fun and friendly, nothing was too much trouble and they were committed to ensuring you had the best time! Would definitely recommend this trip!

the note picking up at the hotel is not true, we had to go to the collection point outside our hotel, approx. Run 1km because there was no way to turn. the guide couldn't handle the return transport and so we had to change trains several times. the activities on the boat were nice, only the payment for the drinks and snacks was calculated.
