    Lana was amazing. She had such a lovely voice and is very knowledgeable. She goes out of her way to make us all comfortable and make our trip as enjoyable as possible. Our driver, Christopher was excellent and they make a very good team. The one thing that needs a lot of improvement is the food as it was not good at all.

    it was indeed a magical vacation. The tour company took care of everything ie our luggages, transport, hotels, train, breakfast and 5/7 dinner... so we did not have to worry but just enjoy and relax, Our tour guide was excellent, Helen. She overlooks on everything and very organized. Our driver Crystal was a very good one. I felt safe with the tour and I would not hesitate booking another tour with the company.
