What’s UNIQUE about this?

What makes our packages different is that it includes a professional filmmaker/photographer on the tour with you! He or she will capture the beautiful moments so you get to live it and watch it later on your screen. We believe this service is a very good initiative as it is rarely offered during trips, even in Europe.
