Excellent tour but with 2 concerns (hence 8/10). First concern was no earphones during the tour which meant I had to always be close to tour guide to hear. I would have preferred to be able to walk around while hearing him. Second concern was I shared cabin with someone who snored a lot so I could not get sleep. Please encourage people who snore to get single rooms by saying that anyone who wants a single room or snores should apply for single room.

G Adventures ensured that I was well informed before the journey started. EVERYTHING was well organised and all the information needed for a well planned trip was provided. Questions were answered promptly, The Itinerary was extremely interesting and varied and the CEO was knowledgeable about each place that was visited. Nothing was too much trouble. I would say that G Adventures ensured that client safety was a priority.
