    The actual tour was excellent and the experience with Tour Radar was very professional. However, the pre-trip logistics and organization associated with APT was uniformly very poor. Although Tour Radar was efficient at communicating with APT, there was no evidence that APT listened. Indeed, although the actual tour in the Bungle Bungle was great, I would not go on another APT trip again.

    Good coach driver and tour guide. Big comfortable coach. Too much time in the coach, and not enough time at each stop. Early starts. Accommodation good quality. Most pre-paid meals were adequate, some delicious. Too many people on the tour. Original tour was to have 30, but additional people were added from another tour, making 44. Too many to get on and off the coach, and it exacerbated spreading infection.
