“

The trip is very much centred around cities which was slightly disappointing for me because so much of these countries are covered by forests and national parks. However the trip notes do make the itinerary clear so it would just be a personal preference to have included more of an exploration of the countryside, perhaps some day walks. Our tour leader, Ona, was very knowledgable, I learned so much about all three countries
