“La nostra guida si è comportata da tassista, in principio ha sbagliato il punto di prelievo, nulla di grave in pochi minuti è arrivato. Durante l'escursione non è mai sceso dall'auto per accompagnarci a visitare le attrazioni, che sono comunque interessanti, ma lui ha preferito parcheggiare ed attendere il nostro ritorno, questo senza una spiegazione di ciò che abbiamo visitato. Consiglio un grab con lo stesso itinerario molto più economico ma con lo stesso servizio.”
