My South India trip with G Adventures exceeded my expectations. Given the price I paid I didn?t expect the accommodation to be as good as it was (with one exception). And our CEO Sanna was outstanding, something which really made the trip for me. I will book with G Adventures again and will recommend them to friends
Excellent tour well guided loved every minute
It was a long journey with 2.500 kilometres which gave me a great first impression of South India. The guide made my trip. I felt always secure and cared after. He shared his love for his country and people and his job. Just amazing how he dealed with 15 people from different countries from 25 to 78 years old. I also loved the bus driver and it's colleague. The always smiled and were so kind. The chances to do stuff individually I enjoyed a lot.
Our South India tour was incredible. The sights, sounds and especially the food were all incredible. Our CEO Sanjay looked after everyone and made the experience special.
