What travelers are saying

"I really enjoyed every aspect of the tour. It was a relatively small group of great people with an excellent guide, comfortable accommodation and interesting itinerary. The walking aspect was a little challenging but within my capabilities giving me a sense of achievement each day. The food everywhere we were taken was exceptional. Overall - I didn't want it to end!"
