Fantastic itinerary, hotel and excursions. Very varied trips out. Food portions for evening meals were very small but tasty. Our only negative were the drivers who were men of very few words and gave absolutely minimal information. Fortunately we had a local guide for the tours and she was excellent. Overall can highly recommend the holiday

The holiday is spectacular, hotel and staff brilliant although the evening meals were very small and not to our liking, but the travelling killed it , two days of 14 hours on a coach with no opportunity for lunch or an evening meal is to much

Great holiday, hotel, drivers and local guide, but should have been a longer break with 2 overnight stops en route as 2 days of 12 hours minimum on the coach was exhausting
