Amazing

What an amazing tour. Every single part of this tour was just fantastic. our guide was the best. He was funny, intelligent, attentive, knowledgable and worked his socks off to make sure we all had a great time. We had a small group of 13, mostly singles, and we ended up making great friends and dining / dancing together most nights.
