The trip had a lot of activities that were varied and covered leisure, hiking, relaxing, history and culture. This makes it interesting. Small group means there are not too many people so you can always hear what's being said but enough to do things with others if you want. Having a guide and transport means you don't have to waste time organising things and the guide gives you information that's useful and can answer questions you may have about the culture.
