Trevlig och hjälpsan guide men stressad och vårdslös chaufför. Väldigt oklar information angående total kostnad med tanke på priset för färjan och hur hela rutten var planerad. Betalade utflykten hemifrån. Viktig info om att avgift med båt och mat ej ingår. Eftersom det var ospecificerad båt, uppfattade jag det som frivillig båtutflykt från någon av badorterna. Att det skulle tillkomma 35 euro/ obligatorisk färjebiljett kunde ha angetts redan från början. Utflykten blev dubbelt så dyr.
