To begin on a good foot, I was lucky enough to have a private tour (since no one else signed up) for four days. My driver and guide team were excellent, kind men who went out of their way to ensure I enjoyed the trip. The sights were great and the hotels were top notch. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
