Unfortunately there were some very ignorant people with us that made me feel ashamed of being Italian as well. They didn’t know a single English world but most important they were not even able to properly read the details of the activity so they had to complain about pretty much everything…without any reason. Typical Italian arrogance and ignorance too. And I’m speaking as Italian citizen. Besides from this dumb guys…all was perfect! I want just to say sorry for all the empty complaints.”

“Tartassari per arrivare un quarto alle 11 perché bisogna prendere i biglietti e passare i controlli. Riusciamo ad arrivare nonostante fosse stato fornito un punto di ritrovo sbagliato. Non troviamo nessuno, chiamamo, e uno che non parla italiano riesce a stento a dire in inglese che siccome il tour inizia alle 11:30, verrà a prenderci un paio di minuti prima. Risultato: 45 minuti di attesa al gelo e pioggia. Per fortuna la guida era un ragazzo liceale volontario affiliato al Parlamento e non a GYG, confidiamo nelle nuove generazioni.”

“È stata una pessima esperienza, personale sgarbato e poco professionale, in quel posto regna la confusione. Negli spogliatoi non c'è privacy, non sono divisi per sesso!!! Un postaccio, noi avrvamo pagato un biglietto per due zone ma ogni volta che passavamo da una zona all'altra bisognava passare il braccialetto di riconoscimento e alla fine oltre al biglietto iniziale, ci siamo trovate a pagare un conto salato. Più che le terme più grandi d'Europa mi sembra un acquapark incasinato. Di sicuro non consiglio a nessuno di andare in un postaccio del genere”

Certes, 50€ n’est pas donné mais l’intérieur est très très beau et grand. Seul « bémol », pleins de petits frais sur place (claquettes obligatoire, sinon payer pour en avoir par exemple). Possibilité moyennant supplément de boire un verre dans la piscine, de se faire masser, massage sur lit à eau automatique,…). Chouette parc aquatique compris également ! Bref, chouette expérience bien que onéreuse. Nous ne regrettons pas pour autant car l’eau colorée par les lumières donne un magnifique résultat.”
