    We loved the travels! It was a good mixture between highlights and 'traveling'. It is an organized tour, meaning if people booked it on the same dates, it can be that you are traveling together. Some of the traveling days are long, be aware of that together with the temperatures in these regions. The contact with the organization went good! When something is unclear or you have questions someone is available at all times.

      We have checked with our team and there is no one confirm for this departure. What we could do is doing it independent, you would be traveling on your own, but you will have some guided activities and of course all the transfer and accommodation would be included.
