Unfortunately for the last week of my trip the tour guide was not great at all. I didn't feel like I was part of a tour, I very much felt on my own with not much guidance.

Indira H   -  Traveled, August 2023

I believe it is a good way to travel as compared to other companies they are smaller groups and the people were generally a good balance between party people and more relaxed people. Having it all organised for you is a bonus to. It is a personal preference but I did not like the hostel scene, this is just because of some of the party people as they would get back late and not be respectful and be loud and noisy.
