The tour had a great combination of planned activities and free time. Our tour guide was organised, well informed and friendly.

Small groups and not too much highly structured activity. Like that G takes care of all the details so you can enjoy yourself

There were some problems on the tour and it was a learning experience for me about taking a tour like this.
12/16/2023
I had a great experience on my first G Adventures tour! It was such a unique experience and so convenient not to worry about transportation or hotels between destinations. The itinerary was a lot of fun and a terrific way to travel and meet people.

well-organized, good accommodations generally, hits all the high points
12/24/2023
It's nice to have a group to travel with. I also enjoyed having my entire itinerary planned for me!
12/24/2023
There was not enough time spent in each city, or we arrived when stores were closed at night then only had 2 hours or so to explore before moving on.

Having all the arrangements made by knowledgeable professionals makes travel easy

It's a great way to travel solo.

The trip was well organised, with the plan for each day being clearly communicated in advance so everyone knew where to be/when and why, the selection of hotels was excellent and the set/ optional activities were varied and enjoyable.

Sandra our tour guide was so kind and took time to get to know all of us individually. She went over and above to ensure my needs were met especially the dietary needs.

Great CEO. Raz was very interesting and knowledgeable. Got to see and do so many things. Had a couple timing issues. For instance, one of the trains between cities took way longer than expected, so we had to make up for lost time and it felt very rushed at times. But overall, great experience
12/16/2023
I had a wonderful time and the CEO was fantastic. But communication prior was poor. I had no idea when the orientation would be and when I asked the front desk upon arrival they had no idea and the post on the wall was not highly visible nor did the front desk person know it was there. I ended up having to call G and they said it's always at 6. So I was confused why that couldn't be communicated prior. I also wanted to book extra activities, but when I called to get general timing so that I could book other things, I was told there was no way to find out. If I could have been told I'd end the orientation walk by 1pm I could have booked it.
12/16/2023
I feel like the description of the trip and the execution didn't line up. Several optional activities were mentioned in the trip description. I reached out prior to the trip to find out how to book those and was told my CEO would handle it. The CEO did not handle it and options listed were sold out or closed. I think if you mention options in an itinerary, they should be viable to do while on the trip,

Large selection of tours all over the world

The tour was what I expected going in. We got to see different sights in a short amount of time.

I think your information about is misleading regarding moderate walking. Most of the stops required quite a lot of walking. It would be best on most stops to have a van take everybody on a tour of a city.
