The trip was amazing but at times, there was a breakdown in communication between the guides and the travellers e.g. when we were let loose to find our own lunch or dinner, there could have been clearer information provided to avoid travellers not eating due to confusion about venues etc.Many of our co-travellers went hungry as they hadn't been given clear instructions about accessing restaurants.Show more
