    The trip was indescribably beautiful. We were able to see a lot of the country and had a great tour guide with lots of interesting information about the country and life there. The tour group was also absolutely great and we made lots of great friends. However, there are two negative points. Firstly, it would be great if the itinerary included an approximate distance or travel time between the individual stops. Some of the bus journeys were very long, even though our tour guide made them as entertaining as possible with his "talks" in between. In addition, the price of all activities is misleading... I am aware that the concept is based on modular activities, but there were many activities that you simply had to take part in so that the other travelers did not have any time disadvantages in their activities. It would be better to include more activities in the price, then you are less annoyed and have a better price overview right from the start.
