I felt some changes were made and people received different details and options for the itinerary. We had issues with the rooming requests for two twin beds—confirmed by our personal travel agent—but not fulfilled by 4 of the hotels. The guide Clos offered additional lectures pre-dinner and elevated the participants knowledge base regarding the history of the region.
