    A very well-organized tour. Although the locations were about 130 km apart, the transportation was excellent. We were never late, sometimes we even arrived early. The meals were delicious and filling, and the hotels were clean and comfortable. I learned a lot of fascinating information thanks to our guide, Alexandra.
