Southern Africa Road Tour Reviews
Real traveler feedback from Road tours across Southern Africa
Anonymous | Traveled in September
A really enjoyable introduction to Romania and nice overview of the country, which has given me a much better appreciation of the culture, history and landscapes. We enjoyed a good mix of activities, mostly outside the main touristy areas, including walking, visiting monasteries, medieval cities, mountains, a ride on a wood-fired steam forest train and the Danube Delta - which was the biggest highlight for me. Plenty of birdlife to see, even outside of the peak season and a nice relaxing couple of days near the end of the trip. The guide was efficient but often seemed impatient with questions. Excellent, friendly driver. However, the minibus was cramped and uncomfortable to travel in, especially during the long drives - be prepared for a few of them - and we didn't have a full group; that was the only downside for me.

A very enjoyable trip around Romania which covered a good variety of places and experiences. A mix of culture and activity. There are some stunning sights. The painted monasteries were for me one of the highlights.. Walking in the mountains with spectacular views. Birdwatching on the delta. All excellent. A great group of people and an excellent guide, Horea, and driver, Stephan. The trip exceeded my expectations and I now have a far greater appreciation of Romania’s culture, history and landscapes.

The trip provided me the opportunity as a solo traveler to visit many amazing sites all on one vacation, and do so with a likeminded group of people. I had an amazing adventure because of the itinerary, my fellow travelers, and Coach Katie Fraine!

One of the best experiences of my life. I have used other tour companies and G Adventures is one of the best I've done. I couldn't have asked for more. Sarah was incredible and the whole experience was amazing!
