“Réservation de dernière seconde suite à une mésaventure avec un autre prestataire! Mon chauffeur s’est avéré très professionnel et gentil malgré la barrière de la langue. L’excursion était très intéressante (même sans guide, il fallait potasser un peu avant) et les paysages étaient magnifiques ! À faire!”
