“Il est dommage de payer l’activité sur Get yourGuide et de devoir faire la queue pour valider ses billets. C’est une perte de temps. En plus la caissière ne savait pas s’y prendre. On a dû attendre et on a perdu un temps considérable à la caisse et à savoir que le parc Dreamworld ferme à 16h30, ses activités en arrivant et qu’il ouvre un 10h30 et que l’on doit faire la queue jusque 11h30. C’est un peu dommage.”
