I can’t say enough about this tour and especially about Suyen! The impeccable choices that were made to submerge the group into the culture, not just as tourists but as participants was fantastic! Truly a much better understanding of the culture and the holiday! It was also great to have “down” time to follow our noses and do our own exploring!
