    Philip

    Asked on September 16th, 2025

    What is the best period climate wise for this tour?

    Tour Details
    • Sondax TravelOperatorWritten September 2025

  • K

    Kristina

    Asked on September 16th, 2025

    What is the difference between the 3-Star, 4-Star and 5-Star accommodations?

    Accommodation
    • Sondax TravelOperatorWritten September 2025

      The difference between hotel types that greatly affect the price is the basic factors such as the location, furniture, room size, room view, and amenities. The higher the type of hotel, the more comfortable the experience. All our hotels are in the center of cities and are inspected to ensure the service so based on the budget you can consider the reasonable option. For 3-star and 4-star, you will join some partial group tours. For 5-star hotels, besides the higher hotel standards, the tour will be private completely at a higher cost.

  • K

    Keith

    Asked on September 15th, 2025

    I am a solo traveller. I am wondering if this is a group tour? Or is it a case of travelling alone with guides and meeting up with different groups/ travellers on a daily basis.

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Sondax TravelOperatorWritten September 2025

      Our package is a group tour. It is not that you share with the same group and guide from the beginning till the end. Most of our tour is a partial group tour in which you will have a group tour for excursion at each place, for airport pick up is a private service.
