    Excellent !!!

    We had a 10 day tour with Passport Lifestyles. It was our first family trip since the beginning of the pandemic, so we had high expectations… This agency tailored our trip, and I must say they were very patient during our entire communication and later during the tour… We stayed in 5 star hotels, all decent and nice… In each area we had chance to taste good local food. In each area we had a guide they were all very good knowledgeable and helpful!
