I absolutely loved travelling with my CEO I felt like I learnt so much and I didn't have anything I needed to stress about like what to do where to eat etc. the only reason I didn't score it a 10 is because there was only 2 people on my tour and I felt like it was hard for I socialise.

First, during the previous days to the trip, it was very easy to contact the support staff to solve any questions related to the trip. Second, the organisation of the trip, the accommodation, the CEO and the activities in general were really good.

Overall a really good trip. A bit more details on what we needed for each day would have been useful

Our guide Suchi was the best, she was so knowledgeable, and helpful. We got to see everything we wanted, and all of the accommodation was amazing.

A combination of the excellent choice in activities, efficiency in timings of seeing/ doing local things as well as an excellent tour guide who was both fun and knowledgeable about local traditions. An overall excellent experience that I would encourage my friends and family to try.

The well-planned trip and an experienced local guide have contributed to this.

Had a great time and everything was super organized. Our tour guide (Malee Sanly) was AMAZING - she was so fun but was also very attentive and made sure that everyone was feeling included and mentally and physically well - I felt so safe with her! Only reason I wouldn't give a 10 is because there were activities on the itinerary that we were told are no longer available, and I felt it was a little unfair to sell a tour saying that a certain activity is included and then not have that activity available.

This was my second G Adventures tour and both experiences were a great mix of activities and cultural immersion.
