About Cayoning Excursion at the Manikia Gorge on Evia Island.

We hebben een super geweldige tijd gehad met Niki, Billie en Alex. Ze waren zeer proffesioneel, leuk en ontspannen. Maar wat een geweldige tocht door de kloof. Abseilen langs de watervalletjes, klauteren door het water en als toetje een steile wand van 28 meter naast de waterval naar beneden abseilen.

About Half-Day Boat Cruise in Athens with Greek Cuisine.

Everything was perfect - from communication, the on-time pick-up by Paschal, the vehicle, the vessel, the organization, the friendliness and professionalism of the very engaging George and Georgia, the lunch, my sailing mates...it was wonderful way to experience the Aegean sea and the Athenian coastline for the first time. Looking forward to sailing with them again in the future!
