This trip kept us all very busy. On the go from 7:30 a.m. on the bus & back to hotel 9 p.m.-10 p.m. some nights. A lot of driving on bus due to traveling through 2 countries & 12 cities or towns. When doing all optional tours, there was little free time to use. Our director was very knowledgeable on facts about each country.. She had a friendly personality along with keeping a watchful eye out for any possible problems.
