One of the best trips of my life. From the ease of booking, to the wonderful guide, and the incredible group of people that were on this trip, everything was amazing.
I thought my experience was fantastic! From meeting people from all over the world and being in similar situations but going through fun activities together. It was a great way to make new friends and learn something new about everywhere. I found the places we visited to be beautiful and having learned a bit about each town was extremely fascinating. I would highly recommend.
