    · October 27th, 2022
    I loved my experience. The people I met were so kind and inclusive of everyone and we had so much fun every day. I loved that you could do your own thing in each city or have the option to do activities as a group. The freedom g adventures provides allows you to get what you want out of your trip instead of being stuck to a strict schedule of activities you may not want to do. I definitely plan to do another trip in thefuture!

    Wonderful experience. Slovenia was an incredible country, and I'm very glad I decided to go there. The walks were steep in some points, but the incredible views were definitely worth it! I would recommend this trip. It was very well run and the CEOs did an amazing job.
