You will get to see so many places in this one trip. We selected this trip due to all the stops it has and the wonderful opportunities for learning and picture taking. This tour is fast paced if you care about leisure in your trips.
Itinerary very tight. Rushed everywhere. Too hurried to use toilet. Great archeological sites , but every day was a bit much. Very limited free time. Large bus groups are too much for us. Lovely hotels. Very nice tour guide, however slow with fluidity of speaking English. We were tired all the time. A lot of walking and strenuous up hill walking.
Lunch providing was not good. Poor quality
