Trip Reviews

The tour leader was amazing. Nina was very knowledgeable and detailed. Everything was very organized at all times and she was excellent at recommending sites to visit, restaurants, and any safety issues. Almost all of the accomodations were amazing and each had its own unique style according to the town we were visiting.
