    Filippe was a fantastic guide, extremely friendly, courteous & helpful. The trip was excellent, it was nice to get away from the business of the city for a while - all the stops seemed so tranquil & calm in comparison, each were different & interesting in their own way. Very worthwhile doing.

    De boot toch was grappig maar had meer van verwacht. Bij de kapel op het strand top. Daar had ik graag lekker wat langer geweest om op het strand even te chillen. Goede extra aanvulling want ik begreep dat de kerk en kapel er sinds kort bij zijn als hele dag tocht.
