Great tour guides. They were organized, positive and offered great tips as well as extra equipment if needed… Very good team. Itinerary changed a little bit… switched days due to weather. It was helpful, however not as stressful to prepare for a long day. And luxury hotel with spa did not have a working spa./ hotels lacked a little bit/ food choices were pretty good. Breakfast could’ve been betterShow more
