I could not say enough goid things about Janette. She was well organized, kept us all awsre of what we could expect, extremely knowledgeable, and well informed of yhe history of thevplaces that we went to. The only complsint was one of the side events that we went to was very hard for my wife to climb and we were not made aware of that ahead of time when it was too late to do anything about it. Also the schedule was a bit hectic on older people and several of us were complaining to each other about being worn out about the fifth day. The bus driver was very good at driving but not very friendly at all.Show more
