I loved this tour and would 100% recommend it to any first time travellers heading to southeast asia. I got to make so many friends, have great experiences, and learn about the people and culture in each country!

I can definitely recommend a trip with G-Adventures to everyone. Whoever doesn't have the energy or time to prepare their trip and is open to meeting new people is in good hands here. You also have the opportunity to learn about the background stories of the individual countries and support local people or villages. I will definitely do more trips with G-Adentures in my future.

I wholly believe that going on this trip is one of the best things I have ever done! Both challenging and humbling, this trip encouraged me to see more of the world (and the amazing people out there!) in a way that would be far more stressful without the help of G Adventures
