Beautiful Tour, Thanks to Guide Driver - Excelente Tour. And much of it is the responsibility of Mauritius, Driver and Guide. Friendly, good vibe willing to settle consultations, give a hand, advice; even beyond the Tour. And besides all that, we tied up a snowy day

Recomendable - The tour depends on the weather conditions. In our case it had to be adjusted, but it was very good. The only comment is that the included picnic is offered at the end of the whole experience, after having lunch and having passed by the chocolate house, so no one was hungry.

Beautiful tour, although it is not possible to reach the final destination due to snow. - It was an amazing experience. Our guide / driver Maurice was fantastic, he super attentive and guided with mastery in the snow, not to mention the sympathy. I just did not give the maximum score for the service received by the tour booking team that do not respond when they need and it is a push game when they needed to remarket my tour.
