    A well organised tour. Our guide was fantastic and really made the trip for us. Communication was excellent. We were never in any doubt what to expect. Everyone on our tour loved him. The itinerary was good and we felt it was enough time in each place but that's because we're not really into cities. We felt we had time to see everything we wanted to do.

    The trip wasn't what I thought it would be. No real tour guide, hotels was just ok, and most of the breakfasts was just ok. Location of the hotels were good. Our tour person was not allowed to be our tour guide because he was not license therefore did not give us not enough information on the places we visited. He was friendly enough. Basically, on our after we got to our designations.

      If you'd prefer a tour with minimal walking, I'd recommend selecting one with a low physical activity rating of 1-2. These tours may include some light walking, but not very much, and are designed to be more relaxed and accessible.
