Schlechtester Ausflug ever über TUI gebucht. Keine Kommunikation, niemand erklärte Ablauf. Wir standen 30 Minuten planlos herum. Die angekündigten Snacks waren alte, ungenießbare Chips. Danach 1,5 Stunden Fahrt übers Meer ohne Programm oder Highlights. Insgesamt reine Zeitverschwendung. Nie wieder und keine Empfehlung. Highlight: wurden abgeholt von einem Fahrer, der uns 20 Minuten durch die Gegend (kein Highlight) kutschiert hat, der Ausflug startete aber 5 Minuten Fußweg am gleichen Strand
