Translated from German · Show original

Die Luxusreise durch Brasilien bot eine durchweg hohe Betreuung durch das Team, die sich besonders während der ganztägigen Ausflüge bemerkbar machte. Bei der Stadtrundfahrt in Rio de Janeiro wurden wir kompetent über die Geschichte der Stadt informiert und erhielten interessante Einblicke während des Besuchs des Zuckerhuts und der Christusstatue am Corcovado. Die Gruppengröße von maximal 14 Personen erlaubte eine individuelle Ansprache, wodurch alle Fragen gestellt werden konnten, was das Erlebnis in den abenteuerlichen Etappen, wie etwa im Tijuca-Wald, bereicherte.

Translated from German · Show original

Die Organisation der Luxusreise durch Brasilien war klar strukturiert, insbesondere die Aktivitäten in Rio de Janeiro wie die Stadtrundfahrt mit den Besuchern des Zuckerhuts und der Christusstatue am Corcovado. Die Unterkunft in Apartments war gut gewählt und die maximale Gruppengröße von 14 Personen sorgte für eine individuelle Betreuung. Auch die Transfers im Privat-PKW verliefen reibungslos und trugen zur durchdachten Logistik der Tour bei, was den Gesamtablauf positiv beeinflusste.
