    Magnificent country. The hike was well organised, a few spots the trail hikes signs were broken, but that's not a Touradar problem. The accommodation was all good, the meals, especially the breakfasts were great. We are coming back!

    The tour itself was wonderful. Accommodation was fantastic and the food was great. Luggage transfer was flawless and all transport for our group was timely and comfortable. There is room to improve in terms of communication about the itinerary prior to the trek. We did not receive any additional itinerary information until less than a week before the trek, though I sent many emails asking for info. While this detail didn't affect the trek itself, it definitely caused some anxiety and uncertainty. If this happens to you... don't freak out! Otherwise, this trip was great and I could not recommend it more highly!
