Customer reviews & ratings
Unbelievably awesome experience with great variety of unique activities. You don;t even have to follow their itinerary if you prefer to take an extra rest day or something. Purely from a logistical and socialization perspective, it was awesome. Special shout-out to our group leader Lucy Bell for being the absolute best group leader we could ask for! Definitely requesting her for my next trip.
