Hi Kim, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so pleased to hear you found the tour well organised and that Simon was friendly and helpful throughout. It’s great that travelling in the off season made the border crossings smoother, and even better to hear the trip exceeded your expectations with such scenic routes and plenty of free time to enjoy each stop. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon! All the best, Travel Talk Team
