    I enjoyed the trip a great deal. One of the best parts of this trip was that every person in the group was a non smoker. That was awesome!

    Well planned itinerary, some great activities included but still plenty of time to do your own thing, and all of the travel and accommodation is organised for you. Also, group leader (CEO) was fantastic
