A lot was packed into 8 days and possibly an additional day would have been advantageous. That said, the tour was excellent in almost every respect - accommodation, meals (those with an emphasis on local cuisine), the tour director, local guides, coach seating comfort (extra leg room much appreciated), general amenities and itinerary. By limiting the
...read more number of passengers to 40, the tour operator (Insight) had obviously placed a premium on the comfort and well being of its passengers. There was a good mix in the nationality and demographic of fellow passengers, with everyone getting along with each other; bonding occurred very quickly. Finally the booking process with Global Journeys was a breeze who kept in regular contact throughout. I can highly recommend this tour. We saw a lot, learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
