    This was the best tour! Demi did a great job of teaching us about where we were traveling to and the history for each place, but kept it really interesting. As well as making sure we had the information we needed to be prepared for each day. It was well organized tour and we got to see so many amazing places.

    It was really good. You're really on the go though and if you are not good at early morning rises, this might not be for you. It was nice though with lots of friends made.
