Sarah Jayne Gage for Morocco I used a Travel Talk co. They’re a very reputable co. that I’ve used for four other destinations at very good prices. Definitely go visit Morocco or Turkey, it’s an amazing place. Highly recommended!

I did Vietnam Cambodia and Thailand with gadventures with a friend that swears by them and they were amazing. I’m not usually a very tour orientated traveller, but I loved them and I’d take another tour with them in a heartbeat

Yep, they're super relaxed that way. LOTS of free time. Our guide in Italy would call a meeting and say this is where we are, this is the highlights, this is when we're leaving, now go away! If you wanted to hang with the group you could, and if not you didn't have to.

I’ve done 3, just got back from their highlights of Morocco tour. It was incredible. So many different places, but I have to say I loved the few days in the desert.

I took a mainland Ecuador tour with them a couple of years ago. The tour guide was quite but she showed us places to go and eat when we had down time. The people in the tour fought a lot. Lol. I have done 4 tours with intrepid and love them.

Profile picture of Allison

Yep. Belize, Costa Rica, Everest Base Camp, Italy. Nothing but good things to say.

Yes twice once through Egypt and the other overland through Africa. Pretty good and overall affordable 2 tours are enough for me prefer to not go with such a large group was kinda disappointed with G for when we did Africa although the itinerary was great and logistically it worked well

We hiked the Inca trail in Peru with a local company that took great care of the porters (warm clothing, hiking boots) smaller private group, great meals and locally and socially responsible, lots of personal attention from our guide, at a cost less then G adventures. I watched the G adventure tours and saw their porters doing the hike in bare feet without warm clothes and I was happy we made the choice we made. I also recall meeting one of the G adventure guests and she complained to me that her guide still didn't know their names after 2 days ...she saw how much time our guide was spending talking to us about local folklore and fauna. My viewpoint is strictly as an outside observer, but I saw enough that didn't impress me that I wouldn't book with them.

We have also had negative impressions of G tours from the outside. Drunken parties, walking in no go areas in Galapagos, inappropriate behavior. Intrepid travel. Natural habitat and National Geo are the best but the last 2 are pricey.

I don't usually do tours, but I have seen them in many countries I have travelled to. Among the far reaching your companies, G-Adventures always comes out most recommended for the price. There is obviously more luxury tours available if your shell out, but up against the other major small group adventure travel companies, I'd do a G tour above others.

Was not impressed. Galapagos- had a guide put wildlife in danger, then proceeded to make advances at the female travellers. I get that it’s one guide, but when I contacted the company about the concerns they didn’t respond.

Stacey Slow responses and lack of action taken is also reflective of my experience with them last month.

Costa Rica and Ecuador (Amazon) both amazing

They're good but cost more than a local company. With enough research you can generally find cheaper and better. For the inca trail our stops were planned out way better with Alpaca Expeditions vs their group

Used G for the Inca Trail. They were outstanding. Our guide was exceptional. He spoke perfect English, was well trained in first aid, gave us History lessons and much more. The food was incredible. I would recommend G.

Profile picture of David

G Adventures is awesome, have done Inca Trail, Amazon, Iguassu Falle and Everest Base Camp through them. The only thing to keep in mind is that there is an expected tip at the end (they discuss it at the orientation meeting) but just keep some money aside for it. 100% recommend them though.

Kate that is awesome. I didn't get to go on the riverboat, we took a small boat a few hours down a tributary into the jungle then stayed in a camp for a few days. You will love the trip, a ton of things to see.

I did their Multi-Stan Adventure last month. The group was mostly senior citizens (my understanding is that in our group of sixteen people, ten were over seventy and two were between 50 and 69, leaving only two of us under 50). Many of the advertised activities were cancelled or modified to accommodate the age of the people in my group, and I was disappointed by the overall experience. I tried to contact the company on Day 3 and Day 10 of the 23-day tour to get back on the advertised plan, and I spoke directly to our tour leaders, but they did not resolve the issues. I am now waiting for a post-trip follow-up which they said would take three weeks to investigate.

Have been to Morocco and Sri Lanka with G, both in the last 8 months. Both tours were outstanding, we had amazing local guides, and in my opinion are priced superbly for everything that they encompass. I also love that they do homestays and are constantly adding and growing their Planeterra projects. If I did have one suggestion it is to do tour comparisons for whatever area you want to go to before you book, that way you know you're getting the sights and activities that you're most interested in. And if you see something on another tour that interests you, you can either plan to do it before or after the tour or if you have the flexibility wait until you get there to ask your guide for suggestions. They've always got hidden gems up their sleeves!
