Daarna mochten we met een hele leuke groep twee uur lang raften, wat echt een geweldige ervaring was. Na afloop genoten we van een lekkere lunch in een leuk stadje. Vervolgens brachten we tijd door bij de baden, waar we alle ruimte en tijd hadden om ons eigen ding te doen. De terugrit was minstens zo mooi en gezellig als de heenweg. Alles bij elkaar een super geslaagde tour die we iedereen aanraden!”
