Unforgettable tour! I would recommend everyone to book this tour. She has been the highlight of our trip so far. Special thanks to our tour guides - most of all to Milena. She was the best of them all. The tour was exciting, funny, there was a great atmosphere, it was varied, informative and I felt safe at all times. We also had a lot of fun in the group. I was unsure when booking because I read that it wasn't that adventurous. I can only disagree. Of course, the tour always depends on the water level - but the guides can't do anything about that. I would book them again every year. THANK YOU for this great day!

Did the tour with Maggo, it was absolutely great! We recommend. Waterproof shoes are recommended.
