The guide Ibrahim was excellent and the driver Mohamed was also excellent. But I found that it was very physical I had difficulty keeping up would have to perhaps get down the age to 65 years. But it was a beautiful trip. Fantastic. Suzanne, Stéphanie and Zackary.

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.
