Travel reviews
informative
Skip the meal. It isn't much. Most of the guides seem to be high school or college aged folks.
(Translated by Google) Instructive but perhaps more suitable for adults than for 9 and 10-year-old children. They had difficulty following the explanations. For us, it was very interesting. I liked the workshop where we made crafts less.
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful experience, recommended including for families.
