Our 7 Day trip mid October 2025 tour guide was Oskan and our driver Mr Ramsey the tour exceeded our expectations. We were quite anxious about the long distances to drive but the driver,the bus and our extremely polite and sincere host was a huge blessing. He was always more than polite and funny! We got a surprise from Oskan everyday! Even played a game in the bus and won prizes. We will really recommend this tour and company. The stops were well planned with good food and clean facilities. Hotels were good. Well done!Show more
