Local Impact

Support local; the Grandma you visit on this tour is partially blind and was struggling to cope until she began hosting travellers, this has given her life a new purpose and she has emotionally come back to life. Thanks to the money the family has made from leading this tour, they have managed to renovate their house. All the stores and foodie spots we visit are 100% owned and run by locals, ensuring that local people benefit from tourism to their city. So any inclusions on the tour and additional purchases you make will directly benefit the local community.

Excluded

• Taxi to return to your hotel
• Items of a personal nature
• Tips / gratuities for your local guide.
