This tour was packed with site visits and activities and addressed our interests exactly. All the logistics worked perfectly. Hotels had some quirks but were in good locations and had character - good 3 star accommodation. The two guides were excellent - knowledgeable, and very supportive. We consider this tour to have been very good value for money, and it was a pleasant surprise to find that it was just the two of us plus guide and driver.Show more
