The trip was a good balance of structured and free time. It is a good sized smaller group. The only reason I took off a point is because it can be difficult for introverts to not have any alone time through the whole trip.

Well this type of travel is really only for some who is nervous or anxious about traveling. I felt I paid so much money on the tour and not sure really what for. We always had free time it was just really to get from one place to another.

Nicely planned and structured, great tour guide. Expensive for it to not include any meals or most activities, though

The tours are fun and well organized and are definitely helpful in countries where language barriers and transportation are an issue.

Tristian M. - Traveled, March 2024
It was fun overall and really had no complaints. My score would be higher but I found it hard to connect with a group that had already been together for multiple days. Joining another group mid way through kinda makes you feel left out especially when they share their experiences or photos at the end of the trip.

I think this type of travel is great if you want the guided and group component, but I would be hesitant to recommend it to travelers who prefer more of their own time. If you get a group of people who you don't enjoy then it would be an unenjoyable trip

The overall tour was really good. There was just some places I would have preferred to have more time at so that I could gain the whole experience.

Everything that I expected to be included occurred + more as CEO Toshio went above and beyond to orient us to new locations. Was worried about the multi share because I usually do not sleep well in hostels, but G Adventures selected good accommodations and there was enough privacy in hostels that had bunk beds. I was able to sleep well. Optional group dinners were excellent.

The knowledge and guidance of the CEOs I've had has been brilliant, during the tour and tips for onward travel.
