  • Our GA Adventure featured local guides and authentic experiences and conversations one could not curate by yourself that were delightful and exceeded expectations. Great program in various communities. With active walking/hiking/sailing/food/local experiences. And our CEO Yannis was a phenom facilitating everything, problem-solving, making it all flow with extra-ordinary knowledge shared, bonding or re-uniting with local tour guides who were part of the picture and generating unexpected fun through his creativity and investment in collaborative relationships on the ground in those communities/islands.

  • Taking a gAdventures tour in Greece helped me experience the country much more deeply than I would have been able to do through my own planning --- I helped make cheese at a small farm on Naxos, I took a local food tour in Tinos. I saw beyond the bigger cities through guided hikes on Naxos, Tinos, and Santorini. Our days were perfectly planned and every detail was taken care of ---for exampl, we stepped off a ferry in Naxos and our luggage was loaded up into a bus and taken safely to our hotel while we went off in a different car for a farm lunch & vineyard wine tasting! What luxury to be able to solely focus on the experience, and not to stress about the details. I trust gAdventures to deliver exceptional experiences --- managing all the details so that I can relax and enjoy the experience.
