Our guide Heidrun was somewhat new at being a guide on this trip, however her personality, energy and efforts made up for it, would recommend her and wouldn't have wanted anyone else. The driver Derek was great. Locations were nice but but was surprised with the amount of riding it required from one spot to another. Not really vegetarian friendly at the meals provided, but great options when you're on your own. Tourradar was excellent in booking the trip and quick at answering any questions prior to traveling. We would book through them again.

It was a enlightening experience. Quick timing, but perfect for the goals I wanted to reach. The stops for the highlighted spots were well planned and ample time was allowed. Guide Ryan is a well informed, passionate individual who shows deep caring for the environment and the people of his country. He also cares for his "charges". His individual attention and his camaraderie was from the heart. Refreshing. But do try not to be late. The eyes flash. Bus driver Mr. Yee is an extraordinary person. How does he handle all those miles in such an exemplary fashion?! What a good guy. Oversees us all. This trip was not what I expected. It was so much more. I met so many nice folks (Julie! You're WONDERFUL!!!). All the best to everyone. From my heart.
