Amazing

Hicimos esta excursión y ha sido lo mejor que hemos hecho en todo el viaje en Australia, nos llevaron en autobús muy cómodo, el barco es bueno y la tripulación es lo mejor, te van explicando todo con todo detalle, te ayudan en todo y te proporcionan buena comida y buen café. Además son personas muy profesionales y simpáticas. Ojalá todos los trabajadores del mundo fueran igual. Un 10!
