We had a spectular day!"Jens · July 2025From 70€River Trekking in Gorges du Loup near Nice"We had a nice trip through the gorge, with many fun climbs and jumping experiences. All the basics were as they should be, and felt safe and secure all the way. However, the trip also had a lot of shortcomings: The guide could not speak English as promised. The guide was very unengaged and seemed mostly like he was tired and wanted it to be over. There was a lack of mood and energy throughout the trip. We were not informed about the options to bring drinks - and did not get any during the 3 hours. However, the guide drank water himself continuously... We were not informed about the possibility of taking pictures, which meant we did not get a single picture of the trip. The reception at the tour office was completely unenthusiastic and we seemed a bit of a nuisance"Jacob · August 2026From 60€
