“The tour was excellent from beginning to end. Our first orientation meeting was efficient and well organized that set the stage for the trip that was flawless in execution. We were lucky to have a good group of compatible folks and all of the destinations were interesting and worthwhile. The pace was very good and enough time was spent when needed. The hotels were very good and the meals mostly at our expense were above expectation often prepared with quality chef skills. The only flaw was the bus was compact and a challenge to get on and off multiple times with backpacks and all but eventually we learned to manage and switched seats during the trip so everything worked out OK”
