Customer reviews & ratings
Travelling South East Asia on your own can be overwhelming, travelling with a company like G Adventures makes it so much easier - they organise everything whilst still showing you the best of the countries. The guides are amazing - Ra and Joe are so proud of their home countries and you can tell they love sharing them with their guests too. I would say Angkor, Siem Reap and Chiang Mai were my favourite destinations , not only because of the activities but the people I was able to share my experiences with. Already know this is a great way to travel solo - travelling with people with similar interests and going to places that are on the bucket list as well as experiences only locals know about There are also a huge variety of destinations and travel styles and budgets available
