    Tour Details
    • DIAMIR ErlebnisreisenOperatorWritten June 2024

      Our guides on this tour speak English, German, French and also the local languages - but our tours in this area are always in german - and all of our clients are german speaking. Are you still interested?

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      That would be great if you can ask for another agency- especially if all your clients are German speaking I would struggle in that.

      unfortunately the price is too high for me at the moment and the dates are bit late.
