“hele leuke ervaring. het canyoning stuk is het mooiste qua natuur. ook de gids was erg leuk maar het afrekenen van de drank en de wetsuits aan het eind gaf een bittere nasmaak aan het eind van deze verder leuke dag. onderweg had een vd gidsen een fles vodka mee en dit werd aangeboden bij enkele stops. over kosten werd niets gezegd. de overige dranken bij de lunch en andere pauze werden goed genoemd maar voor de vodka werd aan het einde ineens 18 euro bijgeteld. uiteindelijk hebben we het niet betaald. jammer dat dit zo moet! Hierdoor sluit je zo'n leuke dag toch anders af!”
