“The tour was not as described. The guide just ran ahead like a madman during the canyoning. He didn't care if you were following him. Even though there were only four of us in the group, including a 12-year-old child. Safety was zero and extremely dangerous and slippery. Rafting was OK. The cable car was much shorter than described and only once instead of three times. Lunch after 4 p.m. There were always sales stops along the way. During the rafting and on the way there and back. All in all, we were disappointed with the tour for €150.Read more”
