This was a great trip. We had a good group and guide. The hotels, restaurants, destinations, and excursions were all good as well. We had a beautiful week of weather so I'm not sure what it would be like if there were more raining.
This was a well planned, comfortable experience in a beautiful place. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and approachable. He was a responsible leader who always made certain that directions were repeated and understood to maximize ease when traveling. Our accommodations were excellent.
