I booked vip which actually is not needed( waste of money ) otherwise all was good, toilet facilities where at certain stops it would be great to carry children that are able to walk.”

“Pünktliche Abholung , Strecke , Negativ: haben Ausflug in deutscher Sprache gebucht , unsere Fahrer konnte nur spanisch , hat uns mit Hallo begrüßt und mit Hallo verabschiedet. Dazwischen gab es keine Erklärung zur Stecke oder zu Sehenswürdigkeiten. Das Auto war für 6 Personen und Fahrer viel zu klein. Musste die gesamte Tour auf den Mittelsitz hinten zwischen 2 Erwachsenen sitzen . In der 3 Reihe haben zum Glück nur 2 Personen gesessen , da einer die Reise abgesagt hatte. Kann den Ausflug nicht weiter empfehlen.”
