    This 14 days tour included three countries. The tour guides in each region were quite responsible. They told us about a lot of things to be aware of and reminded us to keep an eye on safety. Through their wonderful explanations, we appreciated unique cultural customs of different countries. Pretty good route and awesome experience!
