    A fantastic itinerary spoiled by a very inexperienced guide and the last night of accommodation was in a local inn where I felt very unsafe and was of poor quality.

    I'm interested in taking this tour in September and I'd like to know if it's going to take place on these dates. If so, what time would be the hotel pickup? Also, I see that the meals are not included, so I'd like to know which options are there available to eat. Do I understand correctly that guide and park fees are included, together with bottled water?
