What travelers are saying

"Great itinerary. In addition, the tour director stopped at 3 landmarks instead of standard rest stops. The landmarks were not on the itinerary. The hotel rooms are excellent for 4-star establishments. The excursions were wonderful, led by knowledgeable local guides. Well worth the extra cost."
