- Group size mismatches: booked for max 20, arrived to find 50-57 people on the bus.
- Guides consistently excellent—Stethi and Andronicus singled out for knowledge, warmth, and storytelling ability.

- Entrance fees and some meals not included; limited choice on where to eat due to large group logistics.
