It was outstanding all around. The itinerary was amazing and so was the guide! She was very helpful, even at times when I thought I was bothering her with a call or a text she was responsive immediately. It was amazing and I will do it again and again!

Tour was highly organized, however, a bit fast paced for us. Up everyday at 5am, hours on the bus.

We had a wonderful time! Carmen (Tour Director) and Kelly (Driver), made this experience carefree and were so well organized and considerate, there wasn't anything to concern ourselves with, except being on time. Communication was very clear. We celebrated our Anniversary on this trip and Carmen organized things so that we had a memorable day!
