It was a pleasant trip! The group left punctually for the trip. The guide was friendly, and the itinerary was well-thought. The journey started with Garden of Morning Calm and ended with Petit France. The duration per location enough for sight-seeing and a slow walk around these attractions. No rush.
The guide attached to our group is fun and friendly. Everything was organized and well-planned. I’d definitely recommend to everyone who wants to save travelling time!
