The trips & places OAT visits for the most part are fascinating & quite exotic. Knowledgeable & professional travel guides are another plus.
What kills the experience is the length of time for each site & the overall length of the trip. Also, the lack of diversity in the cuisine offered. The clientele of OAT also hinders the enjoyment. You are constantly surrounded by pedantic windbags who continually brag about previous trips with the company. With very little time to explore places on your own, you are forced to interact these individuals.
