It was well-organized and all parts of the tour went smoothly!

Traveling during Covid presents many challenges. From the beginning, people at Travel Discounters were responsive by email and phone to manage these challenges. They assisted me with logistics issues and spent significant time designing the itinerary that I wanted.
