The entire trip was excellent from beginning to end. Spending 2 days in each city was a godsend. Each of the side tours were very informative with knowledgeable guides. There was good free time. The cruise was very nice along with cabin and free buffet. All the women on the tour mixed very well and I would highly recommend more women only tours. I would recommend this tour as is to any woman eager to travel and feel safe.
