    Very happy with tour, thought hotel rooms were excellent. Disappointed with one of the optional tours, it was not what was advertised and what we played for before our tour.

    Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Our tour manager, Brenda, gave us good guidance and historical knowledge throughout the tour. She was obviously an experienced tour manager who did a lot of work behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly. Our driver also had some long driving days and coped very well.
