It was a good trip and great scenery, was different than I expected for a travel company. The last time I travelled with a company the optional excursions were brought up by the leader and organized by the company if we wanted to go ie transport (and we just paid the cost that day) there was no mention of the optional excursions at all. After the main itinerary was completed for the day

Overall happy but some of the meals that were supposed to be included ended up being rather insubstantial picnics. Also no support in booking the optional excursions.

I like the like-minded, easy-going en open-minded people that travel with G Adventures. Yes, it is expensive, there are cheaper ways of traveling but normally the CEO go the extra mile and the trips have great activities to offer.
