The actual tour was excellent and the experience with Tour Radar was very professional. However, the pre-trip logistics and organization associated with APT was uniformly very poor. Although Tour Radar was efficient at communicating with APT, there was no evidence that APT listened. Indeed, although the actual tour in the Bungle Bungle was great, I would not go on another APT trip again.
