Well paced over 5 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Worth every rupee.

Well paced over 5 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Good value for what's included.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Would book with them again.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.

Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.

Medina Province done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Would send friends their way.

Questions people ask
Same civilisation, a couple of centuries later, and about a fifth of the visitors. Hegra has more intact tomb facades than Petra and no Treasury — there is no single set-piece, and no crowd either. If you have seen Petra this is a complement rather than a repeat.
