    This is the best tour I have done so far in my travelling. It is very well organized and everything works seamlessly. The accommodation is one of the best parts because you get the opportunity to stay at some really cool places that are very different and definitely not places you would get to go if you were a solo traveller. The only thing I would recommend is to budget a little extra for this tour. The included activities are great, but there are a lot of optional activities that are amazing and you will end up really wanting to do them. Plus, since you are moving around so much, buying groceries is difficult so you end up eating out quite a bit which gets expensive if you are doing it for three weeks. Overall, the tour was amazing and you will meet so many great people :)

    Very well organised. You get to see a lot of a place in a short amount of time. I think it would be an idea to somehow inform people of the age of people. We met another group who seemed really young yet ours was a good mix. I think the age range of people makes a huge difference.

    Great trip, we liked the combination of planned activities and optional ones. The only reason it's not a 10 is because the starting times were always sooooo early
