Primissima volta in cui ci siamo affidati a Zani Viaggi per gite di questo tipo e siamo rimasti splendidamente soddisfatti. Partenza puntuale a bordo di bus pulito con la guida Andrea ben preparata, che ci ha illustrato nel dettaglio il programma della giornata. Tempo da sfruttare a proprio piacimento ce n'è stato molto e il giro in battello è stato bello. Sicuramente parteciperemo anche ad altre gite.mrKIOff
