30th May 2023Review ratingGood itinerary with several side trip highlights, not too fast and not too slow, good leader who was very knowledgeable and considerate and small group was good. Accommodation was good except for Leon. The Leon hotel wasn't to the same standard as the others.

26th May 2023Review ratingThe tour leader and driver were excellent. Before we left we were told that we should be reasonably agile, be able to walk up and down stairs and use a shower over a bath. Sadly some of the people on our tour had mobility issues, so we never really went very far or fast when walking with guides. The last night's 'tantalising' meal included a dessert of tinned fruit and evaporated milk! Hardly tantalising. Luckily there were only ten people on our tour, so there was space in the bus for our handbags. If the bus had been full, it would not have been so comfortable.
