C’est très bien documenté, les photos, la musique, pourtant un peu technique à mon goût, mon impression à la fin du circuit. Avec le casque qui fait mal aux oreilles et le portable en main, peu d’échanges avec le guide et les participants du groupe, ça manque un peu de chaleur humaine. Je suis très contente malgré ce petit bémol…
