They honestly went above and beyond to ensure that everyone was well taken care of. They were all so kind, and unfortunately I did not get all their names but Emily and Brožo (I think that’s how it’s spelled), who was the captain, were the absolute best. I can’t recommend this experience enough. This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip!Read more”
