Itinerary was good with quite a bit of variety. The accommodation was decent but not when taking into account the cost of the tour. Obviously this is government regulated so understand that options are limited. The meals were very repetitive. Maybe mix in some western options or encourage hotels to upgrade their coffee machines.
