It was a lot of fun. It was a long trip from Japan and I had a knee injury in Madrid, but Mike was kind. I had so much fun that I forgot about my knee. I was able to spend a short time with people from various countries. The tour is really great. The cave was a lot of fun! The restaurant was fun too. My family loved it. Thank you so much. NAGISA すごく楽しかったです。 日本からの長旅で、マドリードでひざを痛めていましたが、マイクが優しかったです。膝なんか忘れるくらい楽しかったです。色々な国の方々と短い時間を過ごすことができました。 ツアーの内容は本当に最高です。洞窟もすごく楽しかった!お店も楽しかった。家族い喜ばれました。本当にありがとう。
