I feel like this particular trip was a good value for the money at it's sale price with a good amount of things included. However, not everyone will like sharing dorm rooms so only if they don't mind would I recommend it to them.

it's a great way to meet like minded people

Wonderful experience overall. from the beginning initially calling to inquire about the trip customer service was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The trip was better than I could have imagined from the adventures to our tour guide Natalie. She made it a fantastic experience.

Our CEO Natalie was the most friendliest, knowledgeable and helpful. She made the trip amazing. She went above and beyond any expectations to make everyone feel safe and happy on their trip.

Hostels were fine for the most part. Showers were not the greatest but wifi was better than expected overall.

It was an exceptional trip and our guide, Natalie, went above and beyond to give us the best experience possible. The country, activities, and organization was great and I would highly recommend the trip to others.

I had an amazing experience! I haven't travelled much, and this allowed me to explore new things and meet so many new great people all with the safety of the group. I'd recommend anyone who's looking to travel go with this option as it makes it quick and easy, less planning for me and more focus on travelling and having a good time

It was a really nice trip, you can explore many things and it was fun. The CEO was really nice and caring. On my opinion there was to much you have to book afterwards, which was expensive. The group was a bit to big, also I didn't like that there are people coming and leaving during the trip, this kind of separated the group. For me it was a bit being to much on the main tourist parts, which i normally don't do.

I would highly likely recommend this type of tour, depending on the TYPE of individual. For instance, my mum would not like staying in hostels, but an 18 year old would be fine with this. Overall, it was an excellent tour, budget friendly and awesome guides.
12/01/2023
Was overall a great experience, well planned, balanced, and great guides
12/01/2023
Great experience in a Great Country. I Like that you are in a group but can nevertheless decide on your own what you would like to do nearly watch day.
