    Es wurde nicht erwähnt das die Hauptattraktion, mit der geworben wurde (die wasserfälle) garnicht in der tour dabei waren. Sie waren ausgetrocknet, aber das wäre ein Problem das jahrelang schon bekannt ist. Als Ersatz gab es die unnötige Ruckel-Fahrt über einen Berg. Das hat uns sehr enttäuscht. Eine Warnung über den kaum begehbaren Strand wäre schön gewesen und alles in allem war der preis von 170€ für 2 Personen einfach eine Frechheit. Danke aber nein Danke Der Guide war nett

    Gids was erg informatief in maar liefst 3 talen, stopte onderweg een paar keer om verse kruiden aan ons te geven en maakte leuke foto's van ons. De jeep zat erg comfortabel als je op de eerste en tweede rij zat. Achterin zitten is denk ik meer voor tieners of zeer flexibele jonge mensen. Nogmaals complimenten voor de gids die zeer leuk was.

    We hebben een heerlijke dag gehad met onze guide Mikel. We hebben veel tussenstops gemaakt, waarbij er ook aangeboden werd om foto’s te maken. Verder zat er een heerlijke lunch inbegrepen en werd er goede muziek afgespeeld en veel grapjes gemaakt. Het was een dag vol gezelligheid en plezier. Het offroad gedeelte was ook erg leuk en voelde ook veilig. Er werd op een rustig tempo gereden en goed rekening gehouden met het andere verkeer. Deze excursie is absoluut een aanrader!
