Customer reviews & ratings
This was my first "solo" trip with not knowing anyone else and I would definitely book either G adventures again. The CEO, other your members, and experience was great! I was sad to go back home after and am thinking about where I want to go next. Joey, our CEO was awesome! He had a lot of knowledge about the cities we visited and we got a mix of different types of activities.
