Highly recommend,”

“Der Trip zum Toten Meer war insgesamt durchwachsen. Am Ziel angekommen wurde alles das geboten, was im Angebot beschrieben war. Die Strandutensilien wirkten jedoch herunter gekommen und ungepflegt. Am meisten geärgert hat mich die Rückreise nach Tel Aviv über Jerusalem. In Jerusalem wurde die 19 Tourteilnehmer von einem geräumigen Reisebus umverfrachtet in einen Mini-Bus, der bis auf den letzten Platz besetzt war, unbequem, eng und im Grunde genommen kein Stauraum für Taschen, Rucksäcke usw.

“Cruise ship had canceled port the day before and I lost money because I was not able to cancel at sea. 2 people lost a lot of money. I contacted the tour operator who would refund the money, but unfortunately I never received the money back. Cruise schip had de dag ervoor haven gecanceld en ben geld verloren doordat ik niet in de mogelijkheid was om op zee te annuleren. 2 personen volle pot geld kwijt. Heb contact gehad met touroperator die geld zou terugstorten maar spijtig genoeg nooit geld terug”
