2nd June 2023Review ratingEverything worked well. Even some above and beyond service from our tour guide when we left our passports at one of the hotels. Greatly appreciated and just enhanced our view of the whole experience, which was already excellent.

18th May 2023Review ratingFantastic tour and guide, had so much knowledge and was really detailed. Some of the accomodation options could be improved however, as sometimes we were placed in secondary buildings and not in the main hotel. Really great careful driver too.
