This kind of travel is not for the faint hearted. It is made easier by the support you get from your CEO when you are away

The G Adventures CEO, Abhimanyu, made the holiday run smoothly and took out all of the usual holiday stress especially whenever there were lots of moving parts in the day. I have always found G Adventures to be very well managed and also their trips fit in so much.

very good itineraries and they always exceed my expectations
12/30/2023
It was a good way to get a snapshot of both countries. G Adventures trips are always well planned and the CEO take care the hassle out of travelling.
12/30/2023
G Adventures does a great job taking care of travel logistics, setting up great guides on almost every activity, and their CEO (tour leader) was excellent and sincerely attentive. didn't make it to 10 because I think our trip had way too much travel time in it (several days of 10h+ of travel), and I believe this should have been made more clear during the purchasing phase.
12/30/2023
Alott of variety on this tour. From architecture in india to nature.in nepal
12/30/2023

12/23/2023
The trip was excellent, but not everyone I know would participate this type of travel.
12/23/2023
Have taken many G Adventures tours, never had a major complaint with the tours.
12/23/2023
I would select 10 - ',Highly Like', to an experienced traveller with understanding of diverse cultural norms, flexibility to changes, and open to new experiences would love G Adventures. We fit this category of traveller. I wouldn't recommend G Adventures to those who prefer 5 star accommodation and luxury comforts at every step. In addition, we have nothing but the very best care from the tour CEO.

Local experiences, support the locals, great CEO, great transport
12/09/2023
Overall, great experience, our guide was extremely nice, helpful and knowledgeable. Would have provided a higher score if it wasn't for the poor quality of all the hotels we stayed at in India.
