We've never been on a trip to a primarily non-English speaking country, so we decided to do a guided tour. It was excellent! We never would have gone to some of the places we went, and having someone else make all the transportation/hotel/scheduling arrangements removed tons of stress and allowed us to just enjoy the country. Five stars for sure.
