    Geweldige ervaring vanaf het water met al die bouwwerken aan het water en op de heuvels.

    Mötesplatsen fanns inte då det var något ombygge, vi fick gå runt och fråga var det var. Sedan tog en person oss ner till en ankringsplats där båtturen började. En 2 timmars resa med dyra priser på vanlig läsk t.ex en cola 50 kr, ganska högt ljud och guidning på spanska och engelska, guiden hade ok koll på intressant fakta och det var fina vyer men efter 45 min hade vi fått nog.

    Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Haben in der Hauptsaison 12 Euro pro Person gezahlt. Dafür wurde knapp 1,5h Bootsfahrt geboten. Leider die Durchsagen schlecht verständlich und nur auf Englisch und Russisch.
