  • The overall experience with our Croatia living local exceeded our expectations! We really feel like we got a great taste of the Croatian culture. We would recommend it to anyone. This is our fourth G adventure trip and they keep it getting better and better.

  • My overall experience was truly unforgettable. From the breathtaking landscapes to the rich cultural insights provided by our exceptional guide, every moment was filled with joy and discovery. The warmth and generosity of the local family added a personal touch that made the trip even more special. I returned home with not only beautiful memories but also a deeper appreciation for the destinations we explored. One of the highlights of my trip was visiting DE?A, a remarkable non-governmental organization that has been making a profound impact in Dubrovnik since 1993. Founded to support women and families affected by the Homeland War, DE?A empowers the community through lifelong learning, social entrepreneurship, and environmental protection. Their commitment to building a happy, healthy, and strong community is evident in their focus on solidarity, social sensitivity, and respect for diversity. I was deeply inspired by their work, which fosters positive change and social capital while addressing the needs of vulnerable groups. DE?A exemplifies the transformative power of civil society, and their efforts to create a supportive and just community are truly commendable. I would absolutely recommend G Adventures to anyone interested in this style of travel, especially after my recent experience. I had the pleasure of travelling with Adi as our tour guide, and he truly made the trip unforgettable. His knowledge of the destinations, passion for local culture, and attention to every traveller?s needs were exceptional. Adi?s enthusiasm and energy created a wonderful group dynamic, making it feel like I was exploring with friends rather than strangers. His commitment to responsible travel also stood out, ensuring we experienced authentic local moments while respecting the communities we visited. G Adventures, with guides like Adi, offers a perfect balance of adventure, cultural immersion, and comfort. I can?t wait to book my next trip!
