Excellent first trip with G Adventures. All logistics were easy and seamless, activities were well organized and very fun and informative. Also loved the notion of 'expect the unexpected' which created a sense of adventure. I felt all guests were treated with respect and consideration. Had a great time, would highly recommend.
It is a great tour that helps US or Canada residents to either better understand North American life as lots of it came from Scotland, Ireland and England or to learn the roots of their ancestors.
G Adventures made a great trip perfect! They took care of everything, managed travel, accommodation, navigation, all the logistics; kept us on track, on time, communicated everything clearly, found wonderful places to stop and really introduced us to Scotland. All of the people on this tour were really nice and easy to travel with. G Adventures must attract not only great CEOs but also great participants.
Definitely a trip I’ll remember! I didn’t know what types of other people would be part of the group. I thought maybe more solo travelers, like myself, and perhaps closer to my age, but I guess every group can be different. Still had a blast and loved my time in Scotland!
GAdventures did not disappoint! Excellent value, quality and lots of fun.
