****

The tour was no less than fantastic! I am a flight attendant who has seen many places such as Taj Mahal, the Grand Canyon, The Great Wall of China, but your tour beats it! First, it is well organized. Second, tour guide polite, patient, and funny. Third, instead of seeing things, we are living it. Fourth, the campground is amazing and super clean ( a dream place to be), and food was good. Fifth, customs procedures are long but very well organized. Sixth, everywhere we went, the staff was very pleasant This trip was one of the few thrills of my life! And to top it up, the gang I was with happened to be so much fun! – Pierre, Canada
