G Adventures offers a unique experience while taking away a lot of the planning and logistics. This gives adventurers more time to explore and enjoy. My CEO Hesti in Bali was amazing, I learned so much.

I had a great time! I like the diverse age group and backgrounds of the travelers. The activities were fun along with having the ability to have free time to go and explore on our own. The accommodations were also very nice! Exceeded my expectations! Our CEO, Gede, was very friendly, informative and treated us all as equals. I had toured with a different travel company in the past where the guides favored the younger people, but Gede treated us all well! I definitely will travel with G Adventures again!

My experiences with G Adventures have been really good so far. Carefully selected itineraries, it seems to attract friendly travellers, and tour guides are very organised.

It was the right mix of activities with upgraded accommodation. It would have gotten a ten but the wellness was only yoga

Excellent itinerary, optional, not too packed so that we have time to enjoy the area on our own.

I like the small tour sizes and travel that emphasizes the local culture and community in addition to fun activities and seeing the local sights. I also like that the tours are friendly to single travelers by either pairing with other single travelers with no extra cost, or charging a reasonable single supplement fee. I like that they use local guides and have had positive experiences traveling to Costa Rica, Oaxaca, and Bali.

I have been on two G Adventures tours now and both had been thoroughly organised, with personable CEO?s with excellent knowledge of the areas we visit. The whole booking process, including the need of the online chat, is flawless.

Despite the fact I broke my foot on day 2 of my trip, the organization of this trip was amazing. The fact that I did brake my foot, I would like to let you know that the employees of G Adventures took absolutely amazing care of me. Travelling alone for the first time in 40 years after my husband passed away in 2022, I felt very safe and all the details (even small ones) was taken care of. I can't wait to heal my foot and rebook this incredible adventure.

Our guide, Ron was amazing and really helped us get the most out of this trip. He really seemed to care that we really got to experience the culture and flavor of Indonesia. And he filled us in on lots of local information on the sites we were visiting.

The trip was an amazing experience! The hotel selection was perfect. I would definitely book another trip with G Adventures. I love being able to book a trip and my only requirement is to show up. You handle the rest.
