This is my 4th trip with G Adventures. I love that I can travel as a solo female and feel safe. G Adventures does a great job organizing things. I get to experience a lot in a short amount of time. I also really love that G Adventures takes care of to local community in each location.

It is a perfect way to travle and I really loved it, the only reason why I don't give it 10 is because I haven't met any people from Denmark where I am from or Scandinavia in generel.

It depends how old my friend is. I am 20, and people on these trips are often 30+, it would be nice if you made trips with a smaller age gap

Amazingly organised trip. Loved that we have a local CEO/ tour guide. Cham really went the extra mile to ensure everyone got to know the local culture in Sri Lanka, organised travel and routes home after trip, all activities in a short space of time.

I think the tour was great, but the pre-departure information could be easier to navigate. The tour information and itinerary wasn't very accurate and was quite different to what I experienced on the tour. This didn't take away from the experience but could have made it even better.
