The itinerary covered a lot of ground and experiences which allowed us to do things we would not have been able to do independently. The guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and went beyond our expectations to ensure all our needs were catered for. The organisation of the trip was good and we would consider travelling with G Adventures again.
