    I recently completed a South America G Adventures tour, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and our guides were exceptional. A special thank you to Eduardo, Fio, Facuu, and Augustina. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for the region made every day an adventure. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a rich and immersive experience, from the breathtaking landscapes to the vibrant cultures we explored. I can't wait to go back in 2026 for another amazing journey! I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover the beauty of South America with an incredible team guiding you!

    Dennis

    Asked on April 2nd, 2025

    Me and my wife are looking to have special holiday in Nov-Dec 2025 to celebrate my 60th birthday. We would really like to travel to South America and see as much as possible whilst there. We only speak English and so are a little worried about language challenges. Is everything organised for us beforehand?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2025

      We can look at fully guided tours. Would you mind joining a group of other travelers or looking for something more private? A private tour would be possible, however, it would be more of a self-guided tour. This would mean that you would have a full itinerary but making some the internal flights without a guide.
