We enjoyed being able to sit back and relax while our guides Jane and Ted plus driver Noel, took care of everything. They went above and beyond to ensure the trip was thoroughly enjoyable and we were all assisted where necessary and safe.Passengers inadvertently left possessions behind - shirts in dryer, vital medicines, I-pads and special chargers in hotels. The guides and driver easily organised the lost items to be returned with no fuss.This was a great experience, hotels and tour activities the best!
