- AIAliye· May 23rd, 2025Last couple of days was rushed and long. Would have been nice if we stayed an extra day in Canakkale after seeing Gallipoli, and then drive back to Istanbul. Anatolia we didn't get to see the waterfalls.Show more

- Jean· October 16th, 2024The trip itself was great but we prepaid for two extra hotel nights before the start of the tour. Our credit card was charged on Sept 14 but no room was available when we arrived on Sept 27. After a two hour wait late at night we were eventually given a smelly basement room with no window. As no other room was available we checked out the next morning and paid for a room at a hotel down the street. We raised the issue with G Adventures who has given us the run around promising an investigation and then a referral to an operation team and then to a customer specialist team. Neither has responded. While our guide and the trip in Turkey was great, the complete lack of service from G Adventures to the hotel problem leaves us not recommending them as a company.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for this feedback, Jean.

- G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2024
All our tours pricing is based on twin share, which means if you do not mind to get paired up with a fellow traveller of the same gender in your group, there will not be any additional "single supplement" or "My own room" charges. Once you make the booking with us, you will automatically be on a twin share basis (unless otherwise specified like multi-share, etc).
