- AWAndrew· September 21st, 2023The expedition was absolutely brilliant and the G adventures rep really made the whole thing brilliant. The broker - Tour Radar were a let down - they failed to liaise with G Adventure (the tour operator) with any of the personal information I'd supplied such as air port transport times and dietary requirements which did make some things unnecessarily difficult. They also took an absolute age to respond to queries.Show moreTrip date: September 2023

Eva
Asked on July 22nd, 2025How much do I need to pay extra on top to the 2.729€ if I need to stay in a single room/my own room? And how much do I need to pay extra, if the plane starts on the airport in Munich. Will there be a direct flight from Frankfurt starting?
- National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2025
The cost of 'My Own Room' is 1549.00 EUR but this has sold out on this departure, which means we would need to request more with our local office. Unfortunately flights would be booked separately by yourself as we are unable to book these for you. You would need to fly in and out of San Jose Airport (SJO).

Asked on February 1st, 2025Would that timing work for your 26 October tour? Also our departing flight from SJO is on 10 November, so would you be able to arrange the extra nights accommodation for us?
- National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2025
Yes ths would work, though you would miss the welcome meeting which takes place in the starting hotel around 5pm. Joining instructions would be left for you in the hotel lobby however. An arrival transfer will be included and take you to the hotel. The group would then depart the next morning, so you have plenty of time. We can add post tour accommodation as well, no problem.
