El viaje me encantó. El guía fue encantador y tuvimos mucha suerte con el resto de compañeros de viaje. En el primer alojamiento (clase estándar) la habitación dejaba un poco que desear, en el tema estético porque todo funcionaba correctamente. El baño pese a tener agua caliente y funcionar todo como es debido era un poco anticuado. Pero la cena y el ambiente genial. Relación calidad-precio perfecta. Como sugerencia deberían añadir la opción de ofrecerlo en idioma español.Kentish Q
