    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!

    If there were more stars to give, we would give them. My wife and I were on the 30 day Absolute Peru tour and had a fantastic time. The group were great and the guides fantastic. We were lucky enough to have Elmer as the main guide, but in training were Edward and Joseph, who later went on the look after their own group, who would have been lucky to have them. The tour was very well organised and Elmer made sure we knew exactly where to be and when, what to wear, what to bring and what to expect. He also catered to some strange requests with efficiency and diligence, which was greatly appreciated. Thank you to Elmer, Edward, Joseph and everyone behind the scenes at Tourradar for a wonderful experience we will remember for the rest of our lives.
