    I enjoyed the trip a great deal. One of the best parts of this trip was that every person in the group was a non smoker. That was awesome!

    This was my first experience with G Adventures. Many in our group had been on several G Adventures trips. I plan to be able to say that myself in the future. The trip was way above my expectations and our guide was excellent. Thanks to Elena and G Adventures for an incredible journey.

    I had extremely high expectations for this trip, and waited over 2 years to take it. It was worth the wait, and it managed to exceed expectations! Our CEO was amazing, and I left Istanbul with new friends and wonderful memories, and confidence to travel with G Adventures again.
