G Adventures commented on this reviewHi there! Thanks for taking the time to send through your feedback. Our world deserves more you.Trip date: September 2022Review collected by G Adventures - ALori Renz· October 26th, 2022The tour was consistent with what I expect from G Adventures. Well organized tour, excellent guide, friendly, well seasoned travelers in the group. A little heavy on getting from point a to b, i.e. sitting in a bus or train. As to why I would perhaps recommend dropping one location such as up in the mountains on day 1 to allow for more time elsewhere, preferably cities which is what appeals to me.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThanks for the positive feedback!Trip date: September 2022Review collected by G Adventures
