Carina E. - Traveled, December 2023
The trip had great added value (price responded to the activities/hotels included in the itinerary), an incredible level of comfort, and carefully planned activities with local experiences, which solo/couple travelers might not be able to organize. Besides, as a female, I felt more secure in traveling through the region with fellow travelers and a local tour guide.

Great way to see three countries in a short period of time, with a focus on Cambodia. No time to rest but that is what I want for a 9 day tour. Chen, our tour leader, was fantastic and elevated the experience.

G Adventures offers stressless travel experiences. With them choosing accommodations, recommending restaurants and activities, organizing local guides and transportation, you can see a new country and get to know a new culture without thinking about travel details. It is so easy (and fun!) to follow your CEO and enjoy.

Issues with my visa to Vietnam. Both my travel partner and I were not aware we needed it. My mortal said I was ?good to go?. We got our notice for e visa for Cambodia. But not for Vietnam resulting in me missing my connecting flight from JFK to Singapore. Global work and travel had to work overtime to get me lodging in NYC and then change my flight to go to Cambodia earlier than my tour. G Adventures took no responsibility. The tour ends up amazing and Son, CEO, was amazing.

From start to finish, every moment was filled with adventure, cultural immersion, and genuine connections with fellow travelers, all made possible by the dedicated individuals who orchestrated this unforgettable journey. Only reason it was not a 10 is due to the lack of 1:1 communication or a point of contact to make sure everything really was Good to Go.
