Die Tour ist gut organisiert und alles hat wie geplant stattgefunden. Die Unterkünfte waren jedoch teilweise sehr einfach und wurden in einem Fall leider auch kurz vor Abreise gewechselt, obwohl wir bereits im März gebucht hatten. Vielleicht wäre es angebracht, bei der Buchung auch qualitativ hochwertigere Alternativen gegen Aufpreis anzubieten, wie es viele andere Veranstalter machen. Ansosnten war die Tour eine tolle Erfahrung...Show more
