Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Rooms were basic in the best way — dry, warm, and right where we needed them. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Recommended.

Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Lodges along the way were simple and comfortable enough after a long day. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Worth every rupee.

Yucatan Peninsula done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Solid operator.
