Absolutely fabulous tour - especially if you can get Justin Walley to lead it.
Tour was a good mixture of morning tours lead by experienced local guides and a good amount of free time to explore on your own.
The group dinners were good value - both in the quality of the meals and the venues. The dinners were not rushed (as we have found on Insight tours).
Cooking class was such fun.
Really recommend this tour.
