“Great tour, well organized, excellent guides, highly recommended. The only downside was that no one really spoke German, which is surprising here in the Swiss Alps.”
“It was an amazing experience. The tour guide was very friendly and had lots of stories to share. Would gladly do it again, hopefully with a few more rapids 😊”
