The whole evening was great fun . Michael our guide was very accommodating. He had a party of OAP's youngest 63 oldest 76 - he is probably more used to doing this trip with younger people. At no point was he fazed by our group! He tailored the trip 100% to our capabilities, he coped with incessant chatter from our group. Delivered an exciting and informative experience. Having spent 4 days in Florence I would not have missed the River rafting Experience. Top Notch. Thank you so much a great excursion. thanks wendy
