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.

Bali done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. No hesitation recommending them.

Well paced over 8 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Worth every rupee.

Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Worth every rupee.
