Review

What was the most memorable part of your tour?

Taking REAL hammams, rather than tourist ones. Seeing the stars from the middle of the mountains, unencumbered by light pollution. The sense of achievement each day as my dust-covered, sweat-encrusted body relaxed with a mint tea and some broken biscuits. Nuts (don't ask!).

How would you rate the tour leaders?

On this tour - functional but uninspiring. On my last tour (Sri Lanka Discovery) - absolutely amazing.

Do you feel that you got under the skin of a country?

Sort of. I feel that I physically saw parts of the country that I would never have otherwise visited, but the interaction with local people was almost non-existent. I think this was cultural - we were provided with everything we needed, so I didn't feel like our presence was resented or unwanted in any way - we were just not there to socialise, I guess.

What advice would you give to other travellers?

DO IT!!!! Imaginative Traveller make everything so easy, without losing any of the integrity of travel. You'll see and do more than you ever could in the time availble if you were organising it yourself and get more out of every trip. I will never use another company to undertake this sort of trip.
