I loved the CEOs and most of the accommodations and activities. The only reasons I'm giving an 8 and not a 10 is that I think the itinerary could',ve been better and some of the accommodations

Im Vergleich zu meinen bisherigen Reisen habe ich kaum jemals so viel erlebt wie auf der G Adventures Reise. Es war allerdings teilweise auch sehr anstrengend, von dem her denke ich nicht, dass diese Art von Reise fŸr jeden geeignet ist. Wenn mein Freund interessiert ist, wŸrde ich ihm raten, mit einer etwas kŸrzeren Reise zu beginnen, als ich es getan habe.

Thailand was awesome! The places we went to and stayed were cool! Vietnam was a little bit more budget accommodation and most were not suitable for the average person. Would have liked to spend a little more per night and get a bit nicer place to stay.

Susanne H   -  Traveled, June 2023

From our initial inquiry, right through until the end of our trip, the whole G Adventures team could not have been more helpful, all questions and queries were answered, even out of business hours, and they were really reassuring. Upon arrival at our destination, our tour guides were so knowledgeable, welcoming, and friendly! I would highly recommend G Adventures and will definitely keep them in mind for future trips.
