My mum and I throughly enjoyed this six day tour. Robert is a knowledgeable and kind tour guide who has many years experience. He has put together a great itinerary which manages to include some of the local gems that the larger companies seem to miss such as the Wall. So much to see and do on this trip - accomodation in major towns is good and the best that smaller towns offer. All the supplied meals were generous and tasty. Highly recommend this tour - Thank you Robert and Pam.
