Creator's Key Takeaways

i am not a travel agent i don't arrange tours for anybody i do not have sponsors there are no freebies

when you sail with alma waterwise what you are getting that differentiates them from other river cruise lines is small excursion groups unusual excursions very unusual

my favorite excursion out of the entire week was hunting for truffles with that adorable dog

a con of this particular trip is out of the six days that we are in ports at least half of them have two excursions per day which is one excursion too many for me
