Have been on two G Adventures hiking trips and really enjoyed both

I have been a CEO, or a guest, on a total of 18 different G (as well as GAP, in the past) trips. So I know that G does have a lot of great trips.

Great overall experience, but on the more expensive side

You delivered on almost everything you promised/offered. Just some slight misinformation regarding carrying a pack with enough for an overnight stay in Agia Roumelli - which was not required.
