Australia and New Zealand

These National Geographic G Adventures tours of Australia and New Zealand are a good value for the money. The guides were young, enthusiastic, and energetic and, oh yes, both our guides were also very good bus drivers! These tours included many retired folks like us, but also had a recent college graduate and several professional folks in their 30’s and 40’s. The solo travelers all seemed to be experienced adventurers and our travel groups seemed to meld well. The travel schedule is paced well and these tours required lots of walking and energy. We appreciated the “included” tours and activities and also enjoyed the many optional tours as well as the scheduled free time.

He was courteous, patient, friendly and very, very knowledgeble about all aspects of the tour. What a guy? More power to him. He was also very entertaining & had lots and lots of Charisma, we could not have had anyone better. Enjoyed his company and guidence immensely.

Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed our recent tour of South Africa and Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Our tour guides were great. The food and accommodation were excellent.

G Adventures Guatemala-Belize-Mexico Tour

This tour was a well-rounded mix of culture, geology and wildlife and included some jaw-dropping experiences. My personal taste in travel gravitates toward a little more adventure and a little less high-end comfort (though their tours provide more than enough comfort). In this regard, I've found that the G Adventures tours are a perfect fit for me. Suyen, the tour leader, was an excellent communicator, providing insight into places visited as well as advice and recommendations regarding activities and meals. Thanks to her, I was able to have many truly unique eating and sightseeing experiences. In addition, her unwavering cheerfulness made her a truly fun person with whom to interact.

I'm not sure. Our boat CEO was amazing however the actual boat had issues. The boat should have had repairs completed before sending us out on it for a week. There were problems with the plumbing and fresh water rinse line which meant I didn't go swimming. If you cannot rinse the salt water off your body it makes for an uncomfortable situation. The showers on the boat were also unacceptable and more information should have been provided up front regarding the features of this particular boat. I would have elected for a different type of boat had I known.

GAdventures-Africa (Capetown - Victoria Falls)

By: Mike


Reviewed on: 27 Oct 2019

This was our first experience with a vacation of this sort. The tour was everything we were promised and more. We saw a part of the world we will likely never see again and loved every bit of it. That being said, there is one of the stops in Botswana (Elephant Sands) that GAdventures should reconsider supporting. These elephants are being exploited with the lure of water being trucked into a man-made 'water hole'. This is solely for the enjoyment of the tourists. Every day the elephants wait for the water truck to arrive and when it does, they fight for access to the water. The demand by the elephants is greater than the supply. What will happen to these creatures if the trucking of water is one day stopped? They will likely perish waiting for something that will never arrive. This is a bit of a double edged sword for us as we are asking you to not support them, but if you choose to agree with us, the elephants may be the ones to suffer.

It was really good. The rooms far exceeded my expectations, as did the sights that we saw. Our guide and driver were both extraordinary. Sometimes the days were a bit rushed, but considering the distances we had to travel, it was understandable. My only legit complaint would be the days we had to buy our lunch and eat it on the bus. I think an hours stop somewhere wouldn’t make a big difference in the course of a day, it’s awkward to eat lunch on a bumpy road, and not enjoyable.

I repeatedly stated through the process, I'd not use G again. Once the trip actually took place, we were assigned Rosie as our entertainment director and Bob as our driver. They were outstanding. They are the reason that I would consider G again. Rosie was unfailing helpful and cheerful. And Bob was a dream driver. Both were informative and helpful. The hotel choices ranged from "are you kidding" to "this is ok." There was nothing I felt great about. I know G could do better.

Lima, Cusco, and Macchu Picchu with G Adventures

By: Dave and Vicki Leary


Reviewed on: 13 Feb 2019

The G Adventures tour guides were knowledgeable and spoke fluent English. We were greeted at each airport and taken to our hotels by our tour CEO at each city, which made the trip more enjoyable by removing the stress of figuring all that out in each new location. The city tours of Lima and Cusco were great, and the Macchu Picchu visit was excellent. When we had a bit of a medical issue with altitude sickness during our stay in Cusco, G Adventures representative Teresita quickly arranged for a doctor to come to our hotel room, and followed up with us throughout the day to check on us and to help us get back with our tour group a day later in time to make our Macchu Picchu trip. The only negative I would mention is the G Adventures choice of hotel bookings - a couple of the hotels that our group were booked in were not really up to the standards we were expecting - probably a 2 star at best for a couple of them.

Very good. We had great CEOs who knew their stuff. I would recommend however that the provider G Adventures uses in the Amazon jungle clean the toilet paper out of the washrooms more often. The bathrooms stunk of urine every night when we were all preparing for bed. Otherwise, great food and hospitality. I would recommend that G Adventures be more transparent in the additional costs of the Mindo Cloud Forest tour that they promote. All the additional costs basically doubled the cost of the tour if you wished to do everything that the tour offered. I probably would not have taken the tour if I knew the extent of the additional costs.

We said "Yes" because we were able to accomplish our trip goals (Great Wall of China, Terracotta Warriors, Shanghai's Bund, etc) and we had a Wonderful tour guide (Howard Hu) and a Great Group to tour with. But, the pace of the GAdventures tour we took (China Express) was more suited for Younger travelers. We were able to "keep up", but it was a bit taxing at times. The pace was more rigorous than "moderate". There were other older travelers that voiced similar concerns. There was a Lot more continuous travel by walking on this tour than was expected. Some days we left our hotel walking at 0730, to catch a very crowded metro to get to a tour site, walk from the metro to the site, walk further for lunch, walk to catch a metro to another site, walk to dinner, catch another metro/train and returned walking to our hotel after dark. This wasn't every day, but it happened on several tour days. For Younger travelers, the tour would be Great. For 55+ travelers maybe another paced tour.

Friendly and warm, able to easily engage with my sons, and knowledgeable. Overall experience was better than I had even hoped for. Would definitely consider a future G Adventures trip for my family.

Always organized, well planned, providing plenty of time at sites, providing good direction, good information, experienced CEOs. I appreciate Gadventure even having also used another travel organization to cover territory GAdventure did not. The OTHER organization was less organized, had too busy a schedule and didn’t communicate well. The contrast was quite obvious. Highly recommend GAdventure.

Excellent tour guide, comfortable accommodations, food was just OK - filling and tasty but nothing imaginative. You need to be in good physical condition for this trip - lots of hiking, kayaking and snorkeling. This is not a cruise for someone looking to just lie in the sun and graze at the buffets, but well worth it in terms of activity and wildlife viewing.

Explore Machu Picchu National Geographic small group tour was perfect for this mother daughter trip of a lifetime. We had only three other travelers on this trip. Will definitely book other future trips with GAdventures. It was so nice to not have to worry about booking hotels, excursions, locations entry tickets, etc. They made it so easy and were available by chat or phone to answer any questions we had. The CEO (Chief Experience Officer) Mary Chu was great!!! Great trip on a budget.

My trip was amazing. I would like to stress that there are many senior travellers and that many of them are probably hard of hearing as I am, so it would be much better to have a speaker system on the busses that would use plug-in ear phones. I travelled on a sightseeing bus that had plug-in ear phones and I had no problem, but on the my travels I had a lot of difficulty hearing what the guides were explaining, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that has that problen. Also on our safari trip we travelled 2-3 days on a jeep searching for specific animals and then all of a sudden on the third day we found the animals that we had been looking for all along. What a coincidence!!! One animal had a collar on and was quite docile??? A comment was made that we weren't supposed to see that. What an insult to our intelligence. When asked why suddenly we found these animals on our last safari, the comment was we know where they normally frequent!! It seemed to some that somwas possibly st

This was an amazing tour. The itinerary was amazing. Having a couple days to acclimate to the altitude while experiencing local restaurants and businesses was wonderful. Seeing the women's weaving co-op was my favorite. The woman who was demonstrating the dyeing for us told us she uses her earnings to send her daughter to school which is an opportunity she would not have had otherwise. We also spoke to the porters about their pay and their jobs. They stated that G-Adventures was one of the few ethical tour companies on the trail. They pay the porters fairly and do not force them to carry over the weight limit. The food was delicious and the accommodations were comfortable. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed this first tour with G Adventures. All modes of transportation were timely, clean, and spacious for the number of persons in this tour. The itinerary provided a good balance between organized events and free time. Hotels were clean and provided nice ammenities. Only accommodation issue was air conditioning at Kenton Palace. While gratuity was outlined and our CEO made us aware throughout the tour, it became cumbersome to manage due to the number of drivers and tour specialists. Recommend offering an option to have gratuity included in the cost of the tour. Horseback riding excursion was a welcomed activity. Actually our favorite part of the tour.

Was not able to go on the trip as my fiancée fell and was injured. I was hoping to get some restitution from G adventures, even tho I had insurance, but it was stated that I tried to contact them to late as they needed at least 10 days before the start of my adventure. I asked G adventure to give me 1/2 credit for another trip in the future. This request was denied. As it was I lost some money on my air ticket and all Gadventure cost. I’m not happy about this but, my fiancée needed me to help her as she was having a lot of discomfort/pain from her fall. I can see both sides of this punt, feel it could have been handled better

I had multiple issues with G adventures and they would not/refused to assist. They kept repeating "our hands are tied" when in fact it was well within their decision-making power. I have sent them multiple emails and they created a "ticket" on April 4 and I have not heard back after an automated email that said they'd get back to me. They claim to be open to feedback but in my experience they simply are not.

Overall my experience was great. Had a wonderful time and our CEO (Anna) was very pleasant and helpful and fun to be with. The only negative thing have to say about her was, she was too much in a rush walking here and there and I myself and I am sure others would agree, we need some time to take photos, and a lot of times I would stop and take a few photos she is way way ahead and I had to try and catch up. also it would be nice to have some time to buy souvenirs. The places that we stayed in were very clean and pleasant and had a local charm to them. The only thing I would suggest is, having the breakfasts in the hotel/motel that you are staying and not have to walk down the street to another hotel etc. Other then that I had a GREAT time and felt very safe anywhere that we went. All in all I feel that the trip was well worth the money and I look forward to doing another trip with G Adventures in the near future! TGRocky

This tour was not up to the normal standards of my past experiences with Smithsonian Journeys. I had some difficulty with communications prior to the tour. Though Marco, our Tour Director was friendly and pleasant, he was not up to the high standards I experienced on other tours. During the longer bus rides, rather than telling us about the history, culture, etc., Marco talked to the bus driver in Italian the entire journey. Also, some of our dinners were quite late in the evening with emphasis on heavier ingredients, I feel this needs to be reevaluated for future trips. I enjoyed having lunches and some dinners on our own. The tour itinerary was great, i totally enjoyed the hiking on the Cinque Terre…our naturalist/hiking guide Giuliano Battaglia was excellent and I highly recommend using him in the future. Enjoyed the time at the Poderi Arcangelo, a great way to end the journey.
