Magical Monkey Mia Reviews

Travelmarvel tour director, driver, coach, accommodation and meals were all good. There are some early starts and long days on the road, due to the distances between highlights. Global Journeys timely and professional involvement was much appreciated.

This tour covers a lot of distance in a very short time and it turned out to be the wrong tour for us. Our accommodation was very comfortable and our fellow passengers were all very friendly. The places we saw were all of interest but we never had enough time to really take them in. We spent far too much time sitting on the coach as we covered 400-500 ...read more km a day and not enough time at places of interest.

We just sat there waiting for the sunset. When the sun did start to set the motors were powered and we were taken back to shore. We saw some wonderful places in these 5 days. I highly recommend this tour to anyone, except it should be done at the right time of the year.
