“Aunque estaba anunciada en tren, nos llevaron en autobús. Y nos acoplaron al bus que en el mismo día, hacia las 14:00 incluía también la visita a Gante. Nosotros preferimos y pagamos la excursión que dedicaba todo el día a Brujas. Y teníamos reservado al día siguiente otro día entero sólo para Gante. Tuvimos que volver solos por nuestra cuenta a Bruselas. A pesar de esto, quedamos muy satisfechos de la guía, Davinia, amable, competente y amena. Sus comentarios, a la altura del cuento de hadas espectacular y vivo que es esta ciudad. El recorrido en barco por el canal, una maravilla, inolvidable.”
Pick a city, or pick a craving.
