General
description
During
your holiday you can alternate guided visits with our
mini bus, with moments at leisure to relax or to do individually
small excursions with your own transport. The best solution
therefore is to hire a car at your arrival at the airport
and to drop it there again at your departure so that you
can freely move in the area, to do shopping for example,
or to go out for dinner individually during the 'free'
evenings etc.
All
participants receive a list with restaurants near the
accommodation, and brochures about the area.
