Explore! commented on this reviewThanks for your review. Glad you had a great trip!Trip date: October 2019Review collected by Explore! - ANeil· December 23rd, 2019I think the section in the trip notes about money needs updating. They said ATMs only set the airport. We found there were ATMs in the large towns we went through. This means Two places outside the capital during the trip. The tour leader said it would be s nightmare to get money others then by ATM outside the capital. The exchange rate I got with the ATM I used was 15% better than the people got who changed cash at the airport.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThanks for your review and feedback.

It can involve very hot traveling and trekking experience.Explore! commented on this reviewThanks for your review. Great pictures!Trip date: November 2019
- ABAl· April 17th, 2019Claude is the reason this trip was amazing. He was knowledgeable yet humble , organized yet relaxed, disciplined yet lid back and went beyond and above to take care of us. He was educated and respectful, spoke English, French and German fluently. Extremely classy and gentlemanly. Was very interested in continuous learning and kept notes and answered all of our questions and did research when he did not know the answer. He was passionate and considerate. I can’t commend him enoughShow moreExplore! commented on this reviewthank you so much for those great comments on Claude, we'll let him know how much you enjoyed the tour :)Trip date: March 2019
