Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Would book with them again.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Solid operator.
