Why choose Gecko’s?
Gecko’s use of local leaders, local accommodation and local transport means you get to have a true local experience. Not only that but the groups are small - in most cases you’ll only share your travels with 9-15 other people.

Small groups means plenty of flexibility to see the main sites but also the freedom of independent adventures, as well as minimal impact on local life and the environment. If you want to see the world from street level and not through the rose-coloured glasses of the well-worn tourist trail grab your passport and get amongst it with Gecko’s. |

Most Gecko’s travellers see themselves as independent travellers, but have limited time, and prefer the companionship of a few like-minded souls. With Gecko’s, you don’t have to queue for tickets, lug your backpack around town looking for a hotel or wait two days for a train, everything is taken care of. Better still, the prices are comparable to doing it on your own so you get the value of independent travel, with the back-up of 29 years experience in adventure travel. |
