@Prashant, could you explain a bit what is MMT group tour? Do we get any kind of assistance in terms of accessible guidance from MMT? Does it require extra bucks in adition to our basic travel expensis? Also shed some light on local guide in different parts of the world. I am planning to visit Bali along with my partner who is sighted but never been to any foreign country, i want to take some local guide with me in order to see local sights.
