Many cities and sights covered in the 10 days! Excellent and experienced tour guide. Well worth it. All hotels are high quality. The one suggestion would be to select optional activities carefully. Whatever you choose will be added on to an already packed day. If you are looking for time to explore on your own or to enjoy the quality hotels you are paying for, it may be wise to pass on some of the extra optional activities.
