    Gracie is an excellent guide, even better person. She's so full of energy. CEO holds the power to either make the trip fun or not. This was my first solo breakfast, and Gracie was god sent. She's an angel, bubbly, and always ready to help.
    G Adventures commented on this review
    Hi Hineet, I sincerely believe that our CEOs are some of the best people in the world. It's so great to hear that Gracie is proving me to be honest :)
