"Our tour director was outstanding"

“This trip is jam-packed with some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. We went to many popular cities for tourists along with smaller cities that most tourists don’t see. The hotels were very comfortable and the food was excellent. Our tour director was outstanding and really made the whole experience something to remember. The additional excursions were well planned out and certainly added to the whole experience.”
