    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
