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!

The vacation exceeded my expectations. But overall, I would say the Bruna made the trip truly exceptional. I also would like to say that the special guides were also wonderful. Pierre and Samuel were wonderful. And the lunch that Samuel provided went way beyond my expectations.

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!
