“Esperienza molto consigliata, la barca è molto bella e l’equipaggio è molto carino e disponibile. L’esperienza è molto rilassante e ti permette di vedere scorci della costa impossibile da ammirare altrimenti. Noi eravamo da soli quindi abbiamo potuto scegliere dove andare. Mario e Tiago sono stati molto competenti e ci hanno spiegato cosa stavamo ammirando e hanno selezionato una bella caletta per fare un bagno.”
