    The hotels and dinners were mediocre. The hotels may have been a 5 star hotel but the rooms were 3 star. The dinners were average but nothing special. The tour guide failed to let us know ahead of time that I needed what's app on my phone to be able to view my itinerary. The bus driver was excellent!
