    I enjoyed this tour but there is some room for improvement in my opinion. There was a mixup with my hotel reservation and therefore I was required to spend my second night at a much lower quality hotel than the first night. I believe I should get a refund of some amount since I paid for two nights at the higher quality hotel. In addition, our tour van’s air conditioning did not work .my guide Alex was excellent!

    Thank you for arranging personalized tour. Overall, all the family members had good experience and fun especially the helpful tour guides and excellent accommodations but some of the arrangements didn’t reach our expectations like having to pay the meals and missing tour even though they should have been included and meeting time. Other than those, we had wonderful time! Thank you
