    The hiking tour was very good with all hotel reservations and baggage transfers handled smoothly. There were a few times the detailed hiking instructions did not match that actual situation, ie, bus stops not where they were indicated on the detail and in one case, the detailed instructions were not for the correct hike. We were able to figure things out, though, and had a wonderful vacation. A big drawback, in my opinion, is with the insurance provider. My initial trip was for 3 people and one got injured in June and had to drop out. I issued a claim right away and, 2 months later, have still not heard one word from them! I realize you don't deal with the insurance end, but if this is who you are going to have as your sister company, I would probably not buy another trip from you.

    The lakes area is beautiful and getting around on buses, boats and trains was easy on our self guided walk. The walks included in the route notes did not seem to be the best ones in each area and some of the suggested hiking trails were tedious and alongside roads. The signage for the routes did not always correspond with the tour notes and map. We recommend that people on the tour look for the best local treks for each area and then follow these (we found all were well signed) and then get to the next hotel by bus/train/boat.
