I was completely satisfied with the customer service...my expectations were exceeded in many ways. My two tour guides managed to bring people from 7 countries together to form a group. I think that's a very remarkable achievement!
The crew, the food, the bike tours, the general Organisation. We felt safe, well informed, listened to. It was a really very enjoyable week.
