4/5

I had an absolutely amazing time on this trip. Windy was great, and so was everyone in the group. I would happily go on another trip with Windy and highly recommend her as a trip leader! The reason I have knocked off a star is because we ended up leaving several hours late on the first day due to a hiccup (which, maybe, could have been addressed/prevented the day before). This meant that we were not able to visit one of the sites and do one of the activities (swimming in natural thermal springs) that I had been really looking forward to.
