Overall, I enjoyed the tour. However, there were some organizational issues that raised questions. It’s a shame the hotels weren’t specified in advance, that would have allowed us to make other plans if needed. The tour was rich in activities and we saw a lot, but the overall impression still felt a bit chaotic.
