The alternative day at the ghost town for the Death Valley trip was very, very, very disappointing.
10/22/2023
It was a great experience, one drawback would be that it was a little cramped in the van.

I've had 2 trips with G Adventures with very different outcomes - not sure how enthusiastically I would advocate for G Adventures over the other tour operators I've been with - mainly because of this tour.

I like G Adventures generally and have enjoyed my trips with them but a few things stood out as difficult on this trip that I would mention to a friend
10/01/2023
Excellent overall trip - my only issue perhaps is I felt it was a lot of drive time which maybe could have been better split with accommodation nearer national parks
