    Empfehlenswert! Vor allem für Alleinreisende

    Ulrike_P, Apr 2023
    Sehr Empfehlenswert. Man bekommt so viel zu sehen, trotz begrenzter Zeit. Außerdem muss man sich um nichts kümmern (Unterkunft & Frühstück), das ist auch Mal angenehm. Für Alleinreisende sehr zu empfehlen, da man neue Leute kennen lernt und sich connectet. Wir hatten einen Fahrerwechsel und Ritchie (unser 2. Fahrer )war unglaublich toll. Nett, zuvorkommend und immer hilfsbereit. Er hat immer viele spannende Fakten entlang der Route gegeben.
