excellent time. there were 15 of us in the boat. The best. nothing to say. crew at the top, helpful and smiling. successful swimming despite the coolness of the day. moment of total disconnection. we did it on April 27 at 1 p.m. meal (Burger fries) very good.

It was very well organised with plenty of free time to explore. The views were breathtaking and well worth the visit. If you have a fear of heights I would recommend sitting on the left hand side of the coach but the views are so much better on the right.

A little complicated to find your way around but each country is very well represented, simply magnificent decor and crazy attraction for those who love sensations
