The itinerary we had was great - covered a lot in the 21 days we had. Felt very at ease and safe travelling around. Massive thanks to our two tour guides Raghu and Muttu for their brilliant knowledge and service they provided. The only negative was some of the accommodation we stayed at.
12/11/2023
The tour itself was brilliant. 2 very good guides in Raghu and Mutthu. India is very interesting, culturally we have not been anywhere like it. Lots of hustle and bustle and amazing attractions. The food was great and very catering to dietary requirements, our guides knowledge on local eateries was perfect and we successfully avoided Delhi belly! Our only negative was in regards to some accommodation and locations in some places.
12/11/2023
Especially traveling to India, I would highly likely recommed G Adventures to them, but sometimes you will not be as free as you maybe would like.

I have had an amazing experience. So many activities and great memories to look back on with new friends. The trip was so great for getting to experience the local culture, without the hassle of having to plan everything yourself. The CEOs of both trips were lovely, and always willing to help.

It depends on the friend or family member',s ability to adjust to this particular style of travel. Furthermore individuals expectations and levels of flexibility varies so therefore I would highly recommend this style of travel for those with a high level of flexibility and patience, where's not to those who are higher maintenace.

The entire tour ran so smoothly, it was also great having a CEO with us to gain the extra knowledge and recommendations. For the more difficult countries to visit, I'd definitely recommend a G Adeventures trip.

It was a fast pace tour that showed all the highlights of each destination - it was made much easier by having all the transport included so nothing to worry about
