Посоветуйте пожалуйста, какую из трех экскурсий выбрать?
С учетом следующих моментов:
- Только эти корабельные экскурсии, так как все три - дальние, и в случае проблем за опоздание на корабль отвечает компания. Рисковать под свою ответственность я не хочу.
- 8 часов езды для меня не проблема, если оно того стоит.
- Прошу исходить из того, что больше никогда я в Марокко не приеду. То есть ответ "смотрите что ближе, а за остальным потом приедете" - не катит. Никакого "потом" скорей всего не будет, поэтому надо выбрать лучшее из возможного.
