Tours are a great way to see highlights but then really get immersed in a culture without having to waste your time as to how to get from point A to point B, where to eat, or what to do. The tour company that hosts the below is my absolute favorite and one reason is because you are stopped in one area for 2-3 days so it’s less packing and unpacking and rushing every day to get to the coach bus. Here you unwind in your hotel and every day your coach will take you, but you get to leave your luggage behind and enjoy day trips with plenty of time to roam on your own, they know there needs to be a balance!
