Konnte leider kurzfristig wegen einer Magenverstimmung nicht daran teilnehmen. Leider wurde mir der Fahrpreis aus Kulanzgründen nicht erstattet. Hätte mich gefreut, wenn das der Fall gewesen wäre. Schönen Tag!

Jeden Euro Wert!

Die Fahrt hat super viel Spaß gemacht! Der Fahrer war sehr nett, hat sich auch die Zeit genommen noch ein paar Dingen über Queenstown zu erzhalen und hat alles aus dem Boot rausgeholt. Absolut empfehlenswert!!
