Our tour guide Helen was amazing. She was always so helpful, making sure we all were having a great time. Helen waa the icing on top of the cake !!
This tour is for those who are on a tight budget but still have the urge to see the world. The pace is indeed very hectic, with multiple cities visited each day. I expected a lot of walking during the tour, but I didn't think it would include the walk back to the hotel at the end of a tiring day for those who availed of the free time to explore the city we were in. The hotels are not close to the center, hence the added 10-20 minutes, sometimes in poorly lit streets. The accommodations are basic and you should definitely not expect a luxury hotel. The time spent in each city is too short, but this is understandable given the ambitious itinerary. Overall, it was a great experience and will recommend with caution - depending on what style of travel you are looking for. If you can afford to pay more and are used to staying in or closer to the city, then this is probably not for you.
First off, the tour itself was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations. But we would mostly like to thank our tour leader Jemma for making the experience perfect. She explained everything and made sure the tour was a smooth ride for us which made getting to explore even better, really friendly and always offering help and advice. We got to do more than we could imagine, definitely value for money. Definitely fast paced but made up for by getting to see soooo much and lots of free time in places to explore on your own. Expat tour leaders (especially Jemma) make the experience. And shout out to Gabriel the driver for his driving skills. Will definitely recommend to everyone we know and will be back for more tours!
