It was great and I am really glad I did it through a travel company, because planning it on my own would have taken so much time that i probably wouldn't be able to go.

My husband and I were hesitant to join our first ever organized tour, but with our daughters insistence and high praise of G adventures we decided to take a risk. We are so pleased we did because we just felt so taken care of and in good hands. There was no burden for us to research and investigate itinerary related options because Angelo our very capable guide ensured we had all the resources required to make decisions pertaining to our free time with his vast knowledge. The itinerary provided by G was impressive, and we really enjoyed all the organized events and dinners. Angelo worked hard to foster camaraderie camaraderie amongst our group.
