Customer Reviews
It's fast-paced but you see a lot of the country. Lots of early mornings.
It was very busy, & there was a lot of information to try to retain. A couple more nights would have been a bonus, but overall it was very well planned. I'd take the tour again!
Quelques hôtels auraient pu être mieux situées. Quelques hôtels auraient besoin d'une mise à jour.
The itinerary was great - several of my bucket list items. The guides and driver were superior. All hotels except 2, were subpar and located far from points of interest.
We covered so much in the time available.We visited great variety of places but didn’t compromise on quality.Coach was comfortable,Hotels were adequate
