I can’t express how amazing this tour has been, it was beyond expectations! I was really nervous to join a tour not knowing anyone but Milin was so friendly and welcoming from the beginning. The experiences we had (elephant home, water park, cooking class etc) were all surreal, and I’m so glad that we got to take part in that. Milin has been such an excellent travel ninja, she is always so happy and smiley, fun and caring and always ensuring that everyone is enjoying and well looked after. We’ve had the best time and made amazing memories with amazing people. Thank you so much Milin!! 🫶🏻🐰

We were a group of 16 travelling in 2 minibuses. Had we been in 1 coach we would have been able to ask our leader for information about the country's way of life, eg health, education, politics etc., for the whole group to benefit from. For me this info is an important part of the visit to a foreign country.

This tour was absolutely wonderful. We saw so many things, and whilst the pace was very fast moving I don’t feel as though I missed much of each place. We really made the most of our time in each place thanks to my tour leaders. My tour leaders were absolutely wonderful and added so much to my overall experience. This was my first time using Gadventures and I would definitely use them in the future. I would definitely recommend!!
