Richtig schönes Erlebnis

Es war echt ein richtig schönes Erlebnis. Der Tour-guide war mega lieb und hatte echt Ahnung. Die Geschichte vom Hof war auch sehr interessant und man hat einen super Einblick bekommen. Genug Möglichkeiten zum Füttern und streicheln und Fotos machen mit den Alpaka gab's natürlich auch. Also rund um ein tolles Erlebnis. Danke!

Amazing Alpacas Farm Tour Experience

It was an amazing and fun experience feeding and petting the alpacas with the lovely Kit (the farm owner) and his helpful assistant, Garnet. I would rate it a 10/10 experience with my parents. We had a wonderful time and learned so much about alpacas! :) :)
