    It was an enjoyable experience. The tour covered a variety of different places from city, mountains, nature, water and seaside. We couldn’t have done the trip ourselves without organisation. The standard of accommodation was generally quite good although the food in the hotels when we had dinner wasn’t as good as we found by going outside and finding local restaurants.
