    The activity was fantastic, a spectacular tour, and the guides were very attentive and professional. The only thing I missed was them sending us some photos of what they took, since it was a water route, so we couldn't bring our own phones.

    Great, we had an excellent day, it's really worth doing with friends or family. The guides were very pleasant but didn't speak French as indicated. Mini sandwich and no return transport as indicated - for the rest, really great, I recommend it.
