Traveler reviews
Great way to learn about the country side
Very nice tour if you don’t have much time to spend outside the city. The bus stops at a very cute town, a castle a lake and of course coos were adorable- I just wish we had more time to enjoy them all a bit longer but we chose the shorter tour, so… Great way to spend half a day touring the country side! Thank you
Day trip with castle and hairy cows
A moderately long day hike with short stops at cozy places. The guide Marco was a fantastic storyteller who made the excursion even more interesting. Well worth spending a day on.
