The course is really top, everything is very well indicated, it was a wonderful experience. If I withdraw a few points, it’s only because of the price: by learning a little, you can easily organize this same tour yourself for much less. As there are no escorts, the fare seems a little excessive compared to the real cost of an autonomous trip.

We understand your point about the price, especially since this is a self-guided tour without a personal guide.
