Kathy - it is definitely worth it. We did it in 2007 on CROSS (which was not an escorted trip) and it was amazing.
We and our friends are on GP, and they too signed up for that same excursion. We decided to to Mihas Village as we heard great things about that as well.
Looking forwrd to seeing you and maybe, just maybe seeing you for more than 4 days this time. LOL.
