    It truly is an adventure, because you don?t quite know what to expect. We downloaded the app, but could not sign in, so other than the meetings where we?re informed what will be happening in the next day, we didn?t quite what was coming up. Luckily we are go with the flow kind of people. I know some people would struggle that.

    G Adventures provided exactly the kind of experience I was looking for, especially as a solo female traveler looking to make lifelong friends and memories. Our group?s CEO made each adventure feel meaningful, whether it came to managing group dynamics, offering cultural knowledge, and optimizing an extraordinary range of activities throughout the tour. This was by far my favorite travel tour and company and I can?t wait to travel with G Adventures again.

    My G Adventures tour was well organized, and with a fun mix of fellow travelers. The destinations allowed me to experience several distinct regions in Ecuador, and the family stay in the Ecuadorean Amazon was incredible?and taught me so much of local culture. The walks and demonstrations in the Amazon were so interesting. Lastly, our CEO, Julio, was fun to be with , well organized, and always went the extra mile helping the group whenever special needs arise. Julio was amazing.
