We had a wonderful time!!! Everything was well prepared and organized! We felt safe and calm at the same time as we had our 11years old girl with us! Madeleine was a perfect guide, experienced, helpful, sweet and funny. Lorenz was also really helpful, and we will not forget the moment that we saw him suddenly on a rock in the middle of the river waiting for our floating boat to pass in front of him and catch our best moments of rafting in pictures!!! A big thank you to both of you! We definitely recommend this activity especially for beginners that want to take a first idea of rafting!!!!
