“I went to get on the bus and showed the driver the voucher. He immediately told me that it's not us. I asked if the name on the voucher was their company and he said yes. He then entered the voucher number into his system and it came up invalid. I had to pay by credit card. I asked for a refund and haven't heard from anyone. I should have known it was fake because I emailed the company weeks ago and no one ever responded.”

Bl.a flera båtklubbar som man inte ser så noga när man går. Också väldigt grönt och fint runt å-bankarna. En duktig guide gjorde dessutom resan väldigt lärorik. Absolut värt att göra denna tur.”
