- JCJENNY· May 2nd, 2022This isn't an actual tour with a guide, this is independent travel with bookings of hotels, transportation and some activities made for you. For some reason, there is no possibility for customization. Even though you are by yourself the whole time. Knowing what I know now, I could have easily put this together myself especially since I had to do a lot of work with all the errors made. Wrong hotels for pick up, tranfers not showing up, weird timings to give you only one hour for dinner when ordering already took 20 minutes. There also seems to be no continuity in communication because I would get asked the same questions over and over again. For example asking me what hotel to be picked up from when they are the ones telling me which hotel I am staying in. The highlights of the trip were the additional activities that I booked separately. My recommendation is to accept you're going to pay a lot for a private transfer to your first hotel. After that arrange the activities through your hotel. You will get a better itinerary, timing that suits you and probably for cheaper.Show more
