All aspects of the trip were so superior, it's hard to know what to put first, The route offered varied scenery and an opportunity to experience the area in a deeper way that is not possible from a vehicle on main roads. The daily rides were hard enough to be satisfying but not exhausting. The guide was outstanding in tending to everyone's specific needs and was extremely knowledgeable about the history past and present. The side trips were well chosen. The lodging was varied but always good. And the food at the dinners offered a fine sample of classic dishes.Show more
