The scenery was very beautiful. The tour guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. The only concern was the hotel conditions. I heard rats running around behind walls in one hotel. Another had sweaty smell pillows and sheets. Seemed they were not changed between guests.

I loved my tour! Traveling with this group gave me the opportunity to share all the great experiences I have had. That was with help of our amazing tourguide. He felt like the local showing us the best spots. Most carefree vacation because the guide took responsibility of planning every.
