Lots of action & fun. Very professional instructors & amazing landscapes. Communication with the agent was perfect & above all the price was half of what we were offered by the vendors on the street. Highly recommended!

David Breuer

The rafting tour was great fun with the best price online. 16 Euros per person including lunch far cheaper than the prices offered by the hotel reps. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The guides were great fun as well. The river and surrounding scenery were beautiful. The lunch was ok. We had lots of laughs even getting pushed in the cold river was fun. Highly recommended.
