Well paced over 4 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude.
