Great trip overall. Was worried about some of the accommodations (especially doing some research and reading some bad reviews about bedbugs and theft from staff). Also, I knew we would be travelling using trains, but I didn't realize there would be so many transfers in a day. lastly, I would',ve liked to know about the itinerary at the beginning of the trip so I could better plan. my days and things I would like to do instead of having to wait the day before to find out departure and arrival times. The trip was great overall. Lots of free time to myself and well thought out group events. met some great people.

I would highly recommend G Adventures to all my friends as it's a really safe and nice way to travel! You meet so many great people and get to see so many great places! All round best experience!!

Our tour leader was fantastic. Barbara spoke the local languages and had great local knowledge. She worked really hard to make our experience feel unique and authentic, rather than just hitting tourist traps.

Love the fact that everything is planned. However it was very fast paced trip. If someone is a leisure traveller I would not recommend, but if they are comfortable with high paced activity level I would.

I had a fantastic time, everything was really well organised. Our tour leader was fantastic- she?s such a warm person and her recommendations were great every time.

Carlos. He was an awesome guide and super nice friend. Always outgoing and willing to lend a hand when lost. Give this guy a raise!

This was my first experience with G Adventures, so I have little point of reference but it really was an amazing experience. The only reason I couldn't score it a 10 was that when I travel with G Adventures again, I hope to improve upon it! I think if I can slow the pace ever so slightly and be more prepared for personal expenses next time, it',d be a 10!

This was my very first group tour experience. I was worried that I may have been better off doing everything on my own and going solo. I ended up having a wonderful time and gaining a lot of experience with a great group of people and CEO. Well done!

Great experience

Great tour with lovely people! I enjoyed how much free time we had. I did think some things could have been a little bit more pre organised but this was my first ever tour so that's probably how it all works

It was a great way to meet new friends and see parts of the world that I wouldn't normally see myself

It was a great experience for me.

It really is dependable on the travel style someone is after, ther would be some people I would not recommend this to as they are not after a fast pace tour.

Our tour guide, she was absolutely amazing and it wouldn't have been the same without her

I had a trip of a lifetime. I felt that I truly got to see so much in so little time. I am so glad I took this trip!
07/21/2023
I love how everything is organized and that you can turn off your brain when travelling because the CEO does all the thinking! However, the long travel days were brutal and some of the accommodation made it hard to relax after those long travel days
