    The itinerary was very fast-paced. We packed in a lot of great experiences. I enjoyed the small group size. Our energetic CEO Shaun was fantastic and kept us up to date on the itinerary and what to expect from day to day. He was very knowledgeable. It was a trip of a lifetime! Definitely add to your bucket list!
