4.00Our leader was very knowledgeable but his pace …. Didn’t go slow enough to take some pictures, and for some of us it was impossible to keep up, Also we didn’t go to one of villages and no notification that said it would be missed. Very disappointing
Worth an experience

2.00Be prepared to walk on two of the stops. Fourth stop unavailable. The bus driver made us get off and go pick up another group while we waited 3 hours. No where to sit unless a cafe or restaurant.
Disappointed

2.00The activity is not bad. But the Roxana guide wasn't right. All the free time, which spoke very low to a group of 50 people, they found out 10. And then time off. Dead hours in places with not much to see but perhaps more entertaining if they tell you things and act as a guide not caregivers.
