Overall I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to everyone! Having everything organised for you, getting unique tips from your CEO to make the most of your trip and historical context from them of where you are and what's around you, and enjoying it with a group of new friends is the perfect combo! The only downside was my experience at Stalis Hotel unfortunately.

G adventures was a fun way to take a trip alone but still traveling with other people. I made good friends and it was great to have a group travel experience while also getting the chance to have free time to experience the cities alone. The group CEO was great and so good at his job and making sure we all got the experience we wanted out of the trip.
