Our first CEO, Bamboo was very friendly at the welcome meeting and continued to be so throughout the trip. He kept us informed during the trip on a daily basis and was very, very organized. If we needed anything, we just asked Bamboo and he did it for us. Our second CEO, 'M' wasn't as organized or thorough as Bamboo, but that might be because he was very tired after just finishing a four week trip without a break, which I though was a shame for him because he looed shattered most of the time. Very poor planning by G Adventures I thought.
