The Beyond Travel Tour wasexcellent. Probably one of the best that wehave experienced. In the main the hotelswere good and well located. Our guide forthe land (bus) component, was the bestthat we have ever had on any tour wehave done. The tour had many 2 nightstops, visited interesting places and had agood amount of free time. Many of themeals were provided in the package. Thefood provided was excellent, with somemeals in local restaurants / wineries. Theboat trip was also excellent…The boatitself was very comfortable and we slept onthe boat while it was moored at the variousislands that we visited.

We would rate the tour as excellent and wenot hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
