Marijke202028/10/2023Tour of Little Owl is highly recommended A tour guided by Jessica is highly recommended. She is very knowledgeable and speaks clearly. Because she works with earphones, you can distance yourself from the group a little more if you like. Interesting enough for children, even non-gymnasts :)
