    Excellent choice for everyone. The tour is very enjoyable and the lunch they offer is very good, although not very varied. A good experience.

    We had a really good time that day, the trip was beautiful and the weather helped a lot. The only thing that didn't convince us was the length of the trip, it was a bit long.
