    We enjoyed the sites and local ethnic and cultural experiences along with the educational exposure we obtained. We enjoyed the personal touch and attention to detail by most of our tour guides. We can tell some tour guides are more passionate and more experienced than others and that can make a difference. For some of the tour guides that struggle with the English language should be reconsidered as a tour host because they lacked either the experience or attention to detail that many more seasoned guides have that differentiated them and made the experience less desirable. Overall, the attention to our safety and providing us an experience of a lifetime was worth it.

    The general preparation and organization were excellent. The drivers were punctual, the lodging was tidy, the staff was nice and friendly, and the meals were good. Ms. Evelyn, our travel consultant, kept us informed about schedules and provided daily updates through WhatsApp, eliminating any concerns. We would choose their services again.
