6 stars out of 5. The CEO's were exceptional people, patent and helpful and made us feel very secure. The constant need for tipping was challenging - we were constantly seeking out bank machines to augment our travel funds. I think it would be better to have it calculated into the cost of the trip rather than always bing concerned about appropriate tipping along the way. I was not alone in this experience - many members of the group commented on this .
