Had an absolutely wonderful time, and met the most amazing people. The hostels we stayed in were all nice, our group tour leader Vera was also lovely. Some of the group activities were not that great/different to the ones advertised but alot of them were also really good. I think it would have been more time efficient to travel in the evenings where possible as alot of full days were taken up by travel, as we started in the mornings and would arrive early evening, leaving not too much time to do anything either side. We also did unfortunately not get to experience a sleeper train. But of course, overall I had an amazing experience and now feel like I have the confidence to do this kind of thing by myself or with friends. I would recommend this tour to people wanting to travel who don't want to go alone, as I felt much safer travelling with the group and having people to do things with.
