L’expérience n’as pas du tout été à la hauteur de ce qui est annoncé, nous devions avoir un guide qui nous donne une place et ça n’a pas été le cas. Il a préférer placer d’autres personnes et il ne s’est pas occupé de nous. Nous avons dû nous débrouiller seul pour trouver une place qui est était derrière un poteau. Au prix où est la prestation je trouve ça inacceptable
