    This was very good. Disappointed the WIFI in coach was limited. If there are a lot of people in the group and pictures are shared the amount of WI FI available would finish, This is how WiFi started several years ago and in my view this needs to be unlimited with a good speed. These things do not cost a lot!

    We had an excellent Tour Director and a very good driver. Bad local guide for Bronzes who wasted a lot of time buying tickets as she could not remember if it was 25 or 27 travelers. It was 27 and she had bought 25 tickets initially and then two more she was also having a social . Her knowledge was poor or she was not good at articulating details. We have done this one before and the guide we had previously had was not repeating himself like this lady and all of the time was speaking and communicating details that were useful beneficial and enlightening. This guide should not be used again. we left this session after 10 minutes.

    This tour has been the best experience of my life. Lino made the tour fun and educational at the same time. We've been to the most beautiful places I've ever seen. I specifically went on the tour because Lino was doing it. It's our 2nd time with him. I am going to do another tour next year depending on when he can do it. You have a treasure with him.
