Reviews About This Operator

  • Fabian
    · September 14th, 2025
    I liked the itinerary and it was as described. The tour guide and bus driver did a great job. The only thing to criticize is that no microphone was used on group excursions. This meant that it was often impossible to understand explanations unless you were very close. With a larger group, this can cause crowding. Sometimes it was annoying to spend so much time on the bus. However, on a coach trip with a described route, this is not a shortcoming of the trip itself. I would book through them again if it comes up.

    Despite some initial turbulence when preparing the trip, everything went really well. TourRadar was great. Thank you thank you thank you. The trip was very well organized and the tour guide went to great lengths to make everything possible. We will definitely book with you again.

    All bookings such as hotel, ferry and national park worked perfectly. The route was very well chosen. Due to the late opening of the season, some parks were not or only partially open.
