“Great experience, our guide Acosh was really professional and took care of us very well. What was really unpleasant was a group of uneducated Italians, their teenage children complaining the whole time, and worst of all, they monopolized the fire for themselves during the break. A horrible group of riffraff.”

They stoped every 10 m to help one or the other guest. In the changing room it was compleately packed, almost impossible to move and on the fishing spot they has just 2 machine to make the holes… for 24 guests 🫤 I would avoid this company!”
