Insightful Local Experience - The highlight of this tour was definitely the interaction with locals. Seeing how people live in simple houses and farm daily was fascinating. Our guide made sure we understood the culture deeply . Lunch at a local home was a special touch. It felt genuine and not overly commercialized.
