5.00Unbelievable experience jam packed with variation. Phillippe was a fantastic guide! The tour had a family feel, phillippe provided us with inside info and made us feel so welcome. We were lucky enough to see some traditional dancing in one of the local towns we stopped in which made the day even more special. The food was delicious and the experience was all round 10/10.
