We genuinely enjoyed the trip, and I appreciated that AVIORA didn't pretend every day would be effortless. One day involved quite a long transfer, but the team prepared us properly, the vehicle was comfortable and the hotel that evening was excellent.
That honesty made the rest of the journey more trustworthy. We weren't promised a fantasy. We were given a well-designed trip with realistic expectations.
The rest of the itinerary was beautifully paced. The guide was engaging, the hotels were consistently high quality and the local experiences made the journey much more interesting than simply ticking off landmarks.
For me, the biggest compliment I can give is that I would be comfortable recommending AVIORA to friends who normally organise their own travel. I think they would appreciate the difference.
