We're going to the parts. First: The attention of the agency was excellent, they are very cordial and professional. Second: the car was comfortable, it ran well and its fuel consumption was low. Third: the hotels we had in the packages, wonderful. Fourth: the landscapes you'll visit are magnificent. Indescribable. Just a word of advice: don't throw in the water from a service, it can get very cold!Show more
