Exactly what was promised
Every transfer turned up early and the guide knew the history properly rather than reading a script. Nothing about the week felt rushed.

Worth the flight
We had gear and a safety briefing before anything started, which mattered more than I expected. The team stayed reachable the whole trip.

Calm and uncomplicated
No crowds and no pressure to rush through anything. Simple travel at our own pace, which is what we had asked for.

Well paced
Planning this felt overwhelming at first and turned out smooth. The itinerary left enough time to explore without feeling like a checklist.
