    Overall, an excellent tour. Guide was attentive and informative. Back office organisation was very good. Only minor negative was unexpected payment for 2 exttra nights that I thought were already paid for. This was an error in communication. Lesson here is to be clear about cost and to ensure total payment prior to tour. A slight blight on what otherwise would have been a perfect tour.
