I really had the best experience with G Adventure. The small group was key to really get a 'real' feel for some of these areas. I would use this company again and I have already told my friends to look into it--for anywhere. The guides, Ronnie and Leah, were more than knowledgeable and honestly I feel like they became my friends, along with my fellow travelers. I look forward to exploring other tours as soon as I can.
