What our visitors say
Publicado em John SchallauTrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google. It was an amazing experience to learn what it is like to be blind. I have a renewed appreciation for my own vision and a deep admiration for everyone who is blind how they have adapted to daily living.Publicado em James HunterTrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google. Amazing experience. If you’re unsure then definitely go and do it. Shoutout Carlos and apprenticePublicado em Carli PTrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google. I went with my child and husband, as a nice break from the sun but mainly a rare opportunity to walk in someone else’s shoes. I have friends with sight loss, so have a reasonable understanding of some of the challenges they face and how to help, but there is nothing that can show you the reality of living without sight - aside from experiences like this. We all really embraced the experience and found it informative and fun. It is great that the guides get to share their knowledge and stories, as experts (by necessity) in the difficult daily tasks so many of us take for granted. I really recommend this for anyone and everyone, aside from if you will become too afraid in the complete darkness, but know that you will be safe and well cared for the whole way through.Publicado em Sidney STrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google. It was an amazing experience. We learned a lot from Carlos! We talked a little bit about his life and it meant a lot that he wanted to share it. We now see things from a different perspective and we now know to not take your senses for granted. Thank you so much for this lovely experience and for your time and stories.Publicado em Lendl KoolenTrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google. Amazing experience and Carlos is the best. Thank you very much!Publicado em José MartinsTrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google. It is a life changing experience, both by better understanding the challenges faced but above all the beauty of the other 4 senses, our guide Ricardo made it very enjoyable and his insights and experience made all more relevant. Make sure to make time to come and experience it. We did it as a family: myself, my wife and our 14- and 9-years old daughters, they all loved it!Publicado em Emily WhittakerTrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google. Fantastic and enlightening experience - thank you Carlos for being such a lovely host :)Publicado em Raquel Figueroa SanzTrustindex verifica se a fonte original da avaliação é Google. Una experiencia que no te deja indiferente y que te enseña a valorar lo que tienes y a conocer las dificultades que a diario viven las personas con discapacidad visual, son unos valientes y tienen 4 super sentidos!
