A memorable trip across geologically, historically, and culturally important parts of Portugal—beautiful landscapes and friendly people. Not a lot of encounters with other tourists. We had a fabulous CEO and wonderful local guides. A week that produced great pictures and treasured memories!

This was my first solo travel experience and group experience and I am so glad I took the leap and booked with G. I spent months researching and after the trip I made the right choice. Our guide Summer was amazing and very helpful. The group environment was better than I expected. Everyone was extremely kind and chill. If you’re thinking of booking a trip with G, do it!
