It really wasn't my cup of tea. Didn't find any chicken available for protein with the pasta dinner, and lots of dairy. My body does it's worst with gluten and dairy, so not a great start. Didn't like the seating options for dining either. I only signed up because of friends, but honestly didn't enjoy hanging out there, so we pretty much skipped it all after the pasta dinner, except for the aid tent on the course.
What an incredible itinerary, experience, and great group of like-minded people to travel with. All the research and in-depth prior planning for logistics and top tier events that were blended within the itinerary were all incredible. Having time for free time, the breaks in the journeys across the country and the blend of trail runs to see the country and immerse in the culture were perfect. Finding ways to learn about the local people and having fun facts shared along the journey with the tour guide aspect was very appreciative. Plus all the staff are so friendly and make it one big family of friends to travel with. Keep doing what you're doing.
