Excellent trip - well organised, plenty of free time, and great logistical support 10 Graeme & Glenys, QLD, Australia, Oct 2017
We are generally independent travellers as we enjoy diving in deep to get to know the places we visit - the museums, the history, the culture and the food. We found the G Adventures Eastern Europe trip an excellent way of ensuring the logistical issues were handled painlessly (accommodation, transport between cities, basic orientation) and we had plenty ...read more of free time for our own explorations.
The standard of accommodation was at an appropriate level - 3 stars, so clean, safe, good wifi and avoids spending exorbitant amounts for simply a place to stay. But all hotels were well located in the various cities, and some were true local gems. Most of the intercity transport was by public train which was excellent. The group was a good size (14-15) and made up of all very compatible people of varying ages and interests. Sometimes we did activities during the day with some of the tour members who had similar interests, sometimes we undertook our own activities. Evening meals were frequently as a group but there were plenty of evenings when members did their own thing.
The tour CEO provided basic orientation to the relevant cities and some suggestions on activities and then we did our own thing. G Adventures included local guides in Warsaw and Vienna who were excellent and extremely informative. So, in summary, we found the tour provided us with an excellent balance of guidance and logistical support but freedom to pursue our own interests.We found it useful booking through Global Journeys so that we had a local contact point who can access a wide range of travel options - no doubt there will be many times in future we will use them for other adventures and trips.

Travelling with G Adventures is great, you meet heaps of friends like yourself, you get to experience the adventures e.g. travel up to the tallest building in Chicago.
This G Adventures Tour is highly recommended for first time travellers to Japan wishing to enjoy the highlights within a short time frame. Whilst the tour is guided, there is sufficient flexibility allowing for free time to discover popular sightseeing spots, shopping and restaurants independently or with fellow travellers. This fully escorted tour ...read more will take you by train all over Japan. I recommend extending your stay in Tokyo at the end of the tour so you can immerse yourself in the unique and fascinating culture of Japan.
Iran holiday with G Adventures was great. March was a very comfortable time of the year to travel as temperatures were perfect for having to cover up. There were very few tourists in the country which made for very easy and relaxed sightseeing though of course the Tehran traffic is horrible.
The itinerary and travel distances were very sensible and ...read more we covered everything stated in the itinerary with a few good alternatives recommended by the group leader. The hotels chosen were all very good and by comparison the Tehran hotels we booked ourselves for extra time were dreadful. We were a small group of 10 and we didn't have any difficulty mixing as far as I'm aware. I thought that during the booking process Global Journeys were not well informed about the tour and seemed only interested in the payment.

We visited fantastic places, and had excellent commentary from our tour guide; his knowledge of Iran was excellent. To complement visiting the very interesting places, our accommodation was good (clean, and well managed).
