La nostra visita a Zaanse Schans non sarebbe potuta andare meglio: Mery, la nostra guida, è stata fenomenale. Molto precisa, ha saputo rispondere a tutte le nostre domande e curiosità, riuscendo a tenerci tutta la mattina immersi nell'attività coinvolgendoci pienamente. Era da tempo che desideravo provare i servizi offerti da queste ragazze, sono felice di esserci finalmente riuscita e spero di avere nuovamente occasione di poterne usufruire. A presto!
