The tour was excellently organized — the guides and drivers were true professionals and genuinely friendly :) The small group size was a big plus, making everything more comfortable and personal. The company itself was great to deal with and had a fun, positive vibe :D We really liked all the hotels we stayed in — all of them were high quality and well-chosen. I would absolutely recommend this tour!
