It was absolutely beautiful and the experience specifically in Sri Lanka was amazing. There was a ton of adaptability that allowed everyone's voice to feel heard while still staying to the roots of the country's significance.
Overall I had a great time on this trip! I got to experience a lot in both India and Sri Lanka and appreciated my time spent in this area of the world!
South India was enjoyable particularly Fort Kochi and the backwaters. I thoroughly enjoyed Sri Lanka, which is a beautiful country in all aspects and I would highly recommend all to visit.
I love G Adventures! I?ve made life long friends and have memories and experiences I?ll never forget.
My G Adventures tour was incredible. I can?t recommend it enough. I was worried with it being my first solo group tour. But the trip was planned so well and I could completely relax and not have to think or plan much. I will definitely be doing more tours.
Amazing time - everything is so well organised and there's so much available to everyone! All planning and stress is taken care off for you, and you'd have an amazing group of people doing it with you.
India and Sri Lanka via G adventures is great!! Felt incredibly safe the whole time and the trip was smooth. I would tell everyone to do this trip!!
