Brilliant trip, very organised and well thought out. Came with headphones and a wireless set so we could hear the guide with no issues. Team were super respectful and informative. Only comments would be to tell people if they need to take their headset with them at some locations as it's not needed as it's not the easiest to put away. I'd also inform travelers of their pick up time earlier as it came quite late the day before.
