Over all I had a wonderful time, I was only disappointed with some of our other passengers. A certain group of people were very inconsiderate to other passengers and particularly to our tour guides.
They consistently pushed in lines and shoved people out of the way, At one point I was pushed over doing my shoe lace up, my mum was pushed back into her seat as they were always in a rush to be first or at the front. Abrupt and loud when our tour guide was giving us important information and always requesting Indian food. There were times they had actual tantrums on the rare occasions this particular cuisine was not available and taking it out on our guides who were clearly doing their best and doing a great job at accommodating the entire group. I feel that in the future if there is a group of people with such direct demands to put them in a group of their own to improve the trip for other passengers and to reduce the stress that this would have caused the guides.

Overall trip was good. Negatives were that the hotel in Rome was dated, no refrigerator. Front desk did not send requested help 2 of 3 times. Was difficult to get Ice as there was no Ice machine. Pillows were flat. The hotels were much better. We had 5 tour guides. Felipe and Antonio were great as was the local guide Genaro in Capri. WE liked that the drivers sold chilled bottled water for 1 euro on each bus.
Great way to island hop the Greek islands. Beautiful places, great companionship with other passengers. Everyone chipped in to make lunches, shop for food and clean up etc. Great relaxing trip! CEO on the first week of our trip was exceptional.

This is my third time trekking in high altitude with G adventures and with each new experience I’m flooded with wonderful memories of past experiences and guides. This trek with Nabil will be another unforgettable experience that I will never stop talking about. Thanks again Nabil!

The 15 day tour of Sicily was absolutely fantastic. The best tour guide ever, her name is Milena. A wonderful driver Alessandro. I felt that it was a pretty comprehensive tour of Sicily seeing all the highlights plus more. Fabulous food in restaurants where we ere taken by Milena. Verdict EXCELLENT.

The tour with Destination Services was great! Ysmail was very knowledgeable and patient to explain everything. Victor was very helpful with the luggages and made sure that the bus is clean. Hotel accommodations were nicely picked as well. The only thing I was not expecting was the 2 days that we were left on our own to go back to the hotel due to extra activities that we did not participate. Other than that, all great experience!
The locations that appealed to me most were the Switzerland and Italy locations. I am someone who needs to do things with other people in order to be happy, so it was really nice to be able to find a person with whom i could explore the location of the day with during our assigned free time. I do wish occasionally to stay in some cities a little longer, either by free time or staying more days, but i understand the need for the current schedule. The schedule was a lot less hectic than i had initially imagined for my first tour bus type travel excursion and was pleasantly surprised at the overall trip, so i would definitely do it, though at this time i dont know where. I would be interested in touring again with some of the same guides, but i realize that is not a likely possibility.
I had a 20 day trip, so i had multiple guides throughout my tour. I had started with Lionel, then went to Linus, Angela, Incarne?, Abdel, and finally Mariano, on my last day. Although, not always enjoyable every moment, i did appreciate the greatly varrying styles of each guide. However, while they were all good in their own way, Incarne and Angela were my favorites due to their styles and interaction with the travelers, in terms of getting to know the travelers and their interests.
One thing i should improve upon for myself is to look at the provided information more carefully to determine what exactly is or is not provided. At the time i booked the trip i had not had a free moment to review all the information provided in the traveler information, so i would definitely take the time to research everything
