We had an excellent guide in Romel and were fortunate enough to have a really good group of people. I happened to be traveling solo this time but my wife and travel together and tend to like the independence of making our own travel plans and traveling at our own speed. For those who like group travel, I certainly would recommend this tour as at least a 9.

The trip was planned for us. We got to see and do things we wouldn't do/be able to do if we booked independently. The tour guide gave a lot of background information about what we were seeing or doing. It was great to travel with fellow teachers.
