This was my first G adventure. I did not know what to expect but I was very happy with the result. I loved how we got to see places that I never would have seen if I went on my own. I met a few really nice people that I am actually meeting up with New York City next month. I love how it was action packed with a little downtime as well. Rosa was great. She explained things and was very nice and sweet to deal with. I’d highly recommend the adventures.
