March 10, 2026 at 5:21 pmÈ stato tutto molto bello e organizzato. Il trasporto è stato molto buono, con uno stop per poter far colazione e andare in bagno. L’esperienza marina molto bella e divertente. Domingo, la nostra guida, è stata davvero eccezionale: ha risposto a ogni domande e si è preso cura di noi in tutto. Inoltre parla benissimo l’inglese! Sicuramente molto consigliata.
