It was good, good balance of culture and nature. Accomodation could have been better.

A perfect way to be introduced to India. I would also like to add that Bruno is an exceptional ambassador for G Adventures - he turned a good experience into an exceptional experience.

I loved every second of this trip - amazing places, wonderful food and fantastic people. Our CEO, Bruno, was so enthusiastic and gave me the perfect introduction to his beautiful country. I can't wait to go back.

Great catch of South India.

MiriamOn Sep 15, 2024

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

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.
