Well paced over 5 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Would send friends their way.

Well paced over 5 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Would book with them again.
