Customer Reviews

  • 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.

    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.
