    Very comprehensive itinerary, gives you multifacetted insight into this beautiful, diverse country. Accommodation superior to what I experienced on other Intrepid Premium trips, all hotels were really nice. Great team! The driver, assistant and tour leader went above and beyond every single day, I felt pampered. Cham, our tour leader, was engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate about his country!
