★ 4 · Good value, slightly large group
Twenty-eight people is a lot for a small hill station. Everything ran on time and the stay was comfortable, but I'd pick a smaller departure next time.
★ 5 · Exactly what a solo trip should be
Booked alone and knew nobody on the bus. By the second morning we were splitting breakfast and swapping camera rolls. Captain kept the timings tight without making it feel like a school trip.
