    I had the time of my life during this trip. I got to travel with the lovliest group anyone could ever wish for and both our guides (Geralt at the Safari as well as Dulla in Sansibar) were absolute legends. Would recommend this trip to anyone who's thinking about a trip of this kind. I felt soooo amazingly taken care of and would immediately book with G Adventures/Tourradar again!

    Terrible, terrible costumer service. The worst one yet. I was on a waitlist, as I booked a trip on request. Of course they took my money, but I did not hear anything for 5 days. Well, in your email I received it says "MAXIMAL 1 business day". Well, that didnt happen did it? Do not give people wrong information. So after chasing after you as the online chat is not working and your team is ignoring emails and enquiries (I wrote a couple of emails and yes, of course no one replies) I finally got someone on the phone. They told me my refund might take up to SEVEN months for a trip I did not get any confirmation for nor received any kind of service. I wasnt even confirmed on this trip, so what the heck? Nobody wasted any time or energy on me. If I do not get the money back in MAXIMUM one month, I will take legal action. This is beyond unacceptable. Apparently they have to work on so many refunds right now, they cant pay people back all at once. Well thats not our problem is it? Thats YOURS. Solve it. Do your job and give people their money back. Don´t just keep our hard earned money and ruin peoples vacation. I can only gree with other people in other reviews: The last year and a half the company has been a disgrace. Please do not ever use this company, they only steal your money. Booking number: 1667144.
