I really enjoyed the group tour. The time in Ecuador was great, even though it rained a lot (rainy season). We had a lot of fun together and did a lot of things. The places on the coast of Peru could perhaps be better chosen, as there is not much to do there. All in all, I really enjoyed the trip and would recommend it. It won't be the last trip with Gadventure.

The tour was enjoyable, with plenty to see, learn, and experience in Ecuador, and lots of time to relax in Peru. The travel style was truly basic, as expected with the 18-30-somethings tour category. The CEO took a decent itinerary and made it a great trip.
