- 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

Traveler•Written October 2024Maybe I am not remembering correctly but I thought the insurance you offered had 100,000 in coverage, not 200,000 which seems like an incredibly hard to find policy.
- National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperator•Written October 2024
Your insurance policy must meet the below requirements: The medical expenses, evacuation and repatriation benefits must, when combined together, cover for at least 200,000.00 USD per traveller.
