We are never disappointed by tours . They are well planned and mostly run like clockwork. We are told everything that is included and not included from the start .

The itinerary was very thoughtful, however it was very packed with long days of travel. That said, I enjoyed meeting other like minded travellers. Our CEO Panji made a huge positive impact to my first G Adventures - he was responsible, looked after the group well, had a great sense of humour, knowledgeable.

Small groups, consistently good value for the cost. Enjoy the variety of different travellers from different countries

I would recommend starting the tour in Yogjakarta or take a train directly from Jakarta to Yogjakarta. so 2 days less which are spent in transporting. More time in Bali to enjoy beach would be great - thus I would strongly recommend in Bali a hotel on the beach if possible.
