    Ottima organizzazione, puntuali. La scelta della barca "storica" di dimensioni più piccole risulta vincente e piu intima. Gita che tocca tutti i punti turistici di Budapest che si affacciano sulle rive del Danubio. Consigliatissima!

    Las actividades estuvieron genial. Lo único que no nos gustó es que al reservar no nos permitía escoger la opción de jóvenes sin ser estudiantes.
