Thank you for organizing quickly my trip as per my request. I really appreciated the fast and efficiency work in organizing this trip. Almost everything met my expectations. My friend who went to Kerala and Tamil Nadu few years ago gave me the email of this tour organizer and I am very satisfied. I am a woman from France and it was my first time in India. I decided to trust them and now I know They are reliable and I would recommend it to my friends. Now I come back home with full of amazing souvenirs from Kerala & Tamil Nadu and I feel so relaxed now. Thanks again for everything !

I feel like I've seen as much of India as possible in a month. There was a full range of activities that included "must-see" sites. There was a balance of occasional free time without sacrificing getting as much out of our day as possible! The high opinion I have of your CEOs has remained intact--I don't know how you are able to harvest such high quality individuals to lead the tours. I love G Adventures.
