"Adventure of a lifetime. Couldn’t have done this on my own. All the activities and sightseeing were taken care of. I loved the group settings yet could be on my own for exploring and relaxing. These professionals know what to expect and how to handle all sorts of little emergencies and quirks of tourists. I always felt taken care of and safe. I have a sensitive stomach. I ate all the foods yet never had a problem. Water bottles were always offered. Every whim of ours was already thought of and prepared for before needed. We just had to sit back and enjoy. It was worth every penny."
