A great tour in great weather. The two organizers were very accommodating in terms of start and end times. Very nice and helpful with all questions. Because of our silver wedding anniversary, we even got a bottle of sparkling wine placed in the cool box. We would book the tour again and can only recommend this event!

Die Bootstour war ein ganz tolles Erlebnis für meine Freunde und mich. Es hat super Spaß gemacht. Besonders gut war das ich 1 Tag vorher noch mal persönlich kontaktiert wurde. Alles worauf es ankam konnte kurz besprochen werden. Gerade wenn man von außerhalb ist gibt einem das ein gutes Gefühl. Von der Organisation her war es super und uns wurde auch alles super erklärt. Also noch mal vielen Dank macht weiter so.

Wir haben ein 10er Schlauchboot gebucht und wir waren alle sehr zufrieden! Die Kommunikation war sehr gut und auch die Qualität der Boote. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen :)
