The guide made it very easy to fully enjoy the tour. The tour was built to have plenty of exploring time on our own and also with local guides in the various place we went to.

Good flexible program. The tour leader discussed the program and we had an impact on it. This is good and how it should be done.

Have used company many times before

I would recommend G Adventures to others as I had an overall good experience. The trip went smoothly, and the guide',s assistance and recommendations were very helpful. It was also nice to be able to travel 'solo' in a group, without being burdened by the extra costs one would usually have to bear as a solo traveller. The reason why the score is not a full 10 is due to the optional activities (OA). The prices of the OA were clear upfront even when booking the trip, so there were no surprises about what participating in an OA would cost. However, having experienced the OA, it feels like the prices are are rather exorbitant, especially since a minimum number of participants are required in order for an OA to proceed. It did not feel like the price of the OA was commensurate with the value of the OA.
