    This was my second G Adventures tour and it proved to be as enjoyable as the first one, which was the main reason my wife and I booked it. The small size of the tour group and the variety of people made it all the better. The tour offered a good balance between structured visits of major attractions and free time to explore on our own. I would not hesitate to recommend a G Adventures tour to anyone seeking a guided travel experience in the company of other like-minded travelers.

    It was our first tour, we really like that the group size was relatively small and we had space on the bus to spread out. We would have liked a written schedule of when we are leaving in the mornings and generally what was happening that day. It was great to not have to worry about planning and just be carted around. Having free time and the option to join the group for dinners was nice. I would do it again with a small group like that. We got to see a lot of sights, packed into the time we had to be there. It was worth it!
