“inadmissible il a fallu payer 20$ supplémentaires pour pouvoir récupérer les vélos car il y avait un équipement enfant dans la location alors qu’on en voulait pas pourquoi payer plus ???? sur le bon de réservation on avait jusqu’à 17h pour les restituer mais sur place l’heure était passée à 14h donc nous ne passerons plus par votre site avec Viator cela n’est jamais arrivé”
