The entire experience of the trip, my first as a widow and my first solo, was wonderful. It would be hard for me to choose one area of the travel portion - all were great. But, I think the MOST impactful was the wonderful people I met, including Filip. I felt so completely at home with all of these people. The size of the group was perfect. Any more, would have been more difficult to connect with.

From the pick up at the airport, the service provided throughout, the accommodations were good. All the meals provided were good. The experiences were fabulous.
