    · November 1st, 2024
    This was a great tour. It was a small group, only 7 of us, so travelling was done in a comfortable van as opposed to a big bus. I'd recommend not taking huge quantities of luggage so that it can all fit in well. We had a lot of fun with our driver/guide Vlad who became an honorary Aussie by the end of the trip. Also made some new friends who I would love to travel with again. We got to see some amazing places and stayed in some great hotels. There were 2 however that weren't that great, but to keep the cost down, I'm sure that's why they were chosen. But the good ones far outweighed these. I've had a lot of friends follow my journey and have now asked about doing it themselves. i'd highly recommend this tour.
