Reviews
Rebecca W - Traveled, September 2023
Loved most of it! The only issue I had was having to check out and back into the hostel if the hostel we had new travellers joining onto the group. it's a massive inconvenience and takes away the benifits of staying in a place for more than one night (which doesn't happen often on a fast paced trip) as you have to pack and check out and repack.

Can be fast paced, didn't enjoy the fact you have to check in and out when you continued on a trip

It gave my partner and the flexibility to travel as a group while being able to do our own thing

Julianna J - Traveled, July 2023
Pros: fun to meet lots of people, tough to organize something this fast paced on your own, great having a leader who can provide you with ideas. Cons: hostel dorm sleeping is exhausting after a week or two, you are more prone to illness, and you will still pay quite a bit out of pocket to do activities in addition to the cost paid to g.

Catching public transport everywhere and not knowing what time we?re going to leave and arrive at places until the day of made it hard to book

Everything was very organized. Some of the hostels could?ve been nicer. The guides did an amazing job communicating different activities or areas to see.

G Adventures truly gives you the unique experience of being able to travel by yourself, but having to never be alone. You don't have to worry about finding a travel buddy back home and co-ordinating budgets and vacation time because you will meet like-minded people like yourself on any G Adventures tour.

The tour did not in any way replicate how it was 'sold'. I asked multiple questions throughout the process regarding rooming, ages of people, guides, travel style, etc. - none of these were answered correctly. I ended up on a trip that was WAY overpriced for the service and accommodation delivered. The guide during the first portion of my trip (2-weeks) was also unprofessional, rude, and made me want to leave the trip.

I chose six out of 10 because for this particular trip because it was enjoyable however it was also a lot of physical work and a quick paced schedule. Even for those that are between 18 and 39 years old it was a bit much. I like the itinerary, however it was more sleeping in the hostels and having to walk to train stations and boarding trains with all of our luggage that made it most exhausting.

The first CEO, Dayana was extremely professional, passionate, organized, smart. She never let anyone down or never let us worry about absolutely anything. Everyone is the group agrees how wonderful Dayana?s performance was. However unfortunately the second CEO Sylvia, was extremely disorganized. She would mood the train or bus if we wouldn't follow up with her. She was all the time smoking. Never gave us an orientation. She really gave us a hard time.

I loved my trip and G offered more than I was expecting. However, the guide really makes the trip, and for the last third of my trip I had a disappointing guide. Because I had one amazing guide and one bad it is hard to know what to expect on another trip with G.

Traveling in a group with people your own age is really fun and adventurous. it's nice to bond with people in a different place. The only reason I docked a point is because I would also recommend solo travel for certain people.
