    We will definitely use Thrillophilia again for future travels, As they already impressed us by this package we had recently. Thank you for a well-planned vacation. They worked better thank we think in all aspects. The hotels were good at a prime location in which we had a nice balance of schedule in free-time. On this tour we had with us a guide who was informative, knowledgable, and approachable as well shared with us the great experience and interesting fact about the place...plus fluent in English, the airport transfer was good though, We had a great time in all the activities came with the package. Our highlights were a boat-ride, jetboating, bungy-jumping, ferry-ride, glacier hot-pool, and lots more amazing and famous activities of the place... All these 12-days trip each moment we had there was unforgettable. We were glad that this trip and the service didn't disappoint us at all...
