Brałem udział w wyjeździe do Słowenii. Instruktorzy wiele mnie nauczyli, jeszcze ta piękna rzeka Soca. Polecam każdemu!
Łukasz Gołuch –
Jeden z wyjazdów życia:) Instruktor pełny profesjonalizm, dlatego nawet w momentach wywrotek na wodzie czułem się bezpiecznie. Do tego niesamowite widoki gór i super czysta woda pięknego koloru. Jedzenie w Słowenii bomba: pstrągi kalmary, pizza, mięsa – co kto lubi.
Kemping wyposażony kompletne i wyjątkowo czysto. Do tego pewne niespodzianki w trakcie trwania szkolenia;)
Mam zamiar jeszcze skorzystać z innych opcji WeGiude.
Polecam jak najbardziej!!
