She had someone book the Cave of the Winds ticket ready even before we reached the spot, and as soon as we reached we directly went to the attraction. She made sure we were well fed. Everything was perfect. She explained each and everything beautifully, from all the references to everything. Our driver John was great as well. We stayed in a cosy…”

“Sono stati 5 giorni molto intensi. Abbiamo visto molte cose che da soli non avremmo potuto vendere. Si passa molto tempo in autobus perché le distanze sono elevate ma me vale la pena. Sono sostanzialmente due tour: uno di tre giorni (Niagara, Toronto e mille isole) e uno di due giorni (Philadelphia, contea Amish e Washington). Durante i primi tre giorni è stato tutto eccellente, tempi organizzati molto bene e la guida Andrea preparata e precisa. Gli ultimi due giorni invece sono stati un po' più disorganizzati in quanto i tempi e le regole comuni di buona convivenza non sono state sempre rispettate anche a causa della guida che non…”
