G Adventures Reviews

Had travelled with G Adventures in Cambodia before (river cruise to HCM City) and enjoyed it. This trip had good and not so good features. Note, I travelled solo, on a room share basis. Angkor Wat was really worth the return visit as we got to go up to the top level as it was no so crowded as when I was there in Jan 2020. The tour gives you a real feel ...read more for the countryside as opposed to just seeing Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. The country towns (except Kratie, which we didn't see any of) were really interesting, each with its features. It was nice to visit businesses with a community emphasis eg silk farm and restaurant as part of the tour and the La Plantation pepper farm (by tuk tuk).

It is worth spending a few extra days in Phnom Penh as there are quite a few places to see that are not included on the tour. Koh Rong island is a good place to relax with a nice beach (very clean, warm shallow water) and a lovely walk to the next village. Food options on the island were very good. Hotel there was very basic for the price (price on booking site 2-3 times the other hotels we stayed in). Our G Adventures CEO was pleasant and helpful with good English. He took us on a tour of his childhood home and small village, showing us the local rice wine factory, etc

That said there are a few downsides to the tour. I chose this trip over Intrepid as it had more free time. However, optional tours took up almost all the free time (total cost about US$250) and there was pressure to do these by both the CEO and other participants. Hotels in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, whilst good, were poorly located (about 2km from city centres). I didn't mind the walk but was not comfortable doing it after about 7pm alone. This was a pity in Siem Reap as the city comes alive at night (in PP it was not such an issue as I had extra days there in a more centrally located hotel). Also, the hotel in Siem Reap was not the one listed in the final itinerary and CEO said it had not been used for sometime (it is still on their itinerary on the website). Hotel in PP was surrounded by motor bike repair places and CEO said there were no recommended eating places nearby (so group had to get tuk tuks into riverside area).

Hotels in other locations were basic but adequate, except Kratie. Tour went to Kratie to see the endangered dolphins. We did this on motorised boats, which simply meant chasing the poor things around making a lot of noise (only 2-4 people per boat) and risking injuring then with the small propellers. This was all we did in Kratie as hotel was on edge of town and it was after a long day's travel. Hotel was really basic as was the food provided (many had cold meals that should have been hot, even though we had to order in advance).

Single supplement is about the same as paying as you go for a separate room (should be half that). Booking with Global Journeys is always easy and this trip was no exception. Tracey even went to the effort of providing the address and contact numbers for the hotels, as GAdventures did not. I would I go with G Adventures again - only to a country I was not confident getting around by myself. If you are a couple you could probably hire a car with driver and stay in better hotels for the price of this tour.

The tour was a great way to see Laos quickly. I especially loved the homestay night on the slow boat and wish that we could have spent more time with the community. Nak was an amazing CEO who helped us all in any way he could and created a welcoming, warm and lively environment.

Group of 16, hassle free safari. Saw the big 5, did game drives, boat safaris, walking safaris, mokoro safaris. Saw vic falls. Did the add ons of okavango delta flight, vic falls helicopter, vic falls white water rafting, all amazing. Best part of the trip was Massivu our tour leader and Anthony our driver, both amazing people who made the entire trip ...read more an extremely memorable one, thank you to both of you 🙏

This was a well organised trip through Vietnam from Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Minh city in the south. Our guide was very enthusiastic, the tour inclusions very interesting and great additional options - for example, our culinary tour in Hanoi introduced us to the different tastes of Vietnam. We had a motorcycle tour in Hue that took us out of our ...read more comfort zone but was well worth doing. We have travelled previously with G Adventures and would do so again. We especially like that the company supports disadvantaged or handicapped individuals in the country we visit.

We are a family of three, with a 14yr old daughter. We completed a 9 night tour in Japan with G Adventures , booked through Gobal Journeys. Our agent has been very responsive to my email queries. There was a issue with the sleeping arrangement, but with a great response the issue was resolved to my satisfaction. The tour had a friendly, enthusiastic ...read more and very helpful Japanese guide
Out group of 15 for on well, we were varied ages, my daughter was also well engaged with the group. Accommodation was comfortable and varied with size of rooms and comfort of the bed, all expected after researching Japanese Accommodation.
I would definitely recommend this tour for those interested in seeing Japan, but without the stress of being from A to B.

I absolutely loved my time in Mexico! G Adventures was amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone. My tour guide was so informative and made sure everyone had an amazing time. A high light of my trip was going on a party boat in Lake Bacalar and also visiting Chichen Itza as we learnt so much about the history.

This G Adventure trip booked through Global Journeys was great. Well put together, great hotels, fabulous food, awesome guided tours, with plenty of great optional activities with ample spare time to do whatever we wanted to do. The cost of the tour was very good too as were the optional activities. Communication was key throughout from start of booking ...read more to end of tour, we were always kept in the loop.

Highlights of the tour were Halong Bay, kayaking, Train Street, Hoi An sights and shopping, motorbike tour to interesting places, noodle making, Cu Chi Tunnels and so many more and all the guides along the way were fantastic, knowledgeable and funny too which made the trip memorable. We had an awesome CEO, Nak, who made us feel very welcome and treated us like family which was very special. He was so much fun, lots of jokes and laughter and fun photos/videos to capture our memories. We loved his enthusiasm and passion for Vietnam which was evident in every story and explanation he gave, and he showed his love of the company, G Adventures. I would definitely book a G Adventures trip again when travelling in the future. Thank you Nak, G Adventures and the Global Journeys team!

We used the G Adventures package tour to visit Iguazu Falls and very happy we did so. Trying to visit independently and working through logistical issues would have been challenging, particularly for those, like us, who have no Spanish nor Portuguese language skills. This package handled all the logistical arrangements of airport transfers, border crossings, ...read more visiting both sides of the falls, including the various walks, and arranging the optional activities. We chose to visit the Bird Park, which was excellent and highly recommended, and also did the boat trip from the Argentine side which is a thrilling ride under the falls. This trip is not operated by G Adventures directly so there are some slight differences to normal G tours, but we were very happy with the tour and recommend it highly.

The Ultimate Italy tour was a fabulous 14 days spent with a great group and led by a charismatic and knowledgeable CEO, Silvia. The itinerary - from Rome to Venice - was spaced well with at least 2 nights spent in each accommodation. As is noted, you need to carry your own luggage so backpacks proved preferable over having to carry suitcases. My dealings ...read more with Global Journeys were very professional with prompt and accurate information provided, and very friendly and efficient staff. Would definitely consider another G Adventure trip, and will use Global Journeys again.

India is an amazing country with an amazing history, varied cultural and spiritual beliefs and architecture to die for; a photographer’s dream.

Accommodation standards do vary and does food quality. A roll of TP is a mandatory piece of arsenal a tourist must haves! Be sure you are well researched before signing on the dotted line … well informed an India trip or tour will be most rewarding.

My first time doing a tour and expectations were exceeded! Our CEO Orçun was just incredible and you could tell he really loves what he does. It was such a treat being chauffeured from place to place and took all of the stress out of it. Thank you for making this such a dream.

Our tour leader was very good and the first hotel was very nice. The next one not so nice and so on. The hotel Mimos in Quepos was just about the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I found the activities to be very expensive and thought some were definitely overpriced. I was not the only one in the group to feel this way. Based on my experience in Costa ...read more Rica, I would not book with G Adventures again .

G Adventures covered all needs and the tour guide provided a friendly disposition and tried to satisfy everyone's whims. The group was very engaging and inclusive of everyone and looked out for those who may have needed assistance. The Amalfi Coast did not disappoint.

Fantastic tour guide, great hotel 4 nights in Bayeux, good amount of time visiting each town. Highlight was Mont St Michel! Very professional driver too. Would recommend this tour.

A great tour, with interesting place. Good tour group, would recommend G Adventures to others. I travelled with a great group of people from various countries.
