The variety of options provided was the reason I gave a 10 rating. As a G Adventures traveler, I could explore a city on my own or with the group. Also, I appreciated the authenticity and diversity of the cuisines. My experience was exceptional with Kevin Rico as CEO. This was my first experience with G. I would definitely travel again with G Adventures!

Well organized tour helping with all logistics, transportation, lodging, food suggestions etc. with like minded travelers.

The tour covers the basics in travel and accommodation but leaves the options open and the guide is available to help with questions and organizing

G Adventures always meticulously organize the trip without completely dictating the trip itinerary. Most of the participants for G Adventures are experienced travelers. Personally, I like the balance of free time/flexibility to explore on our own and some suggestive activities, place to eat or visit.

Good mix of locations and tours. Some hotels could have been better. Knowledgeable tour guide. Overall blend of guided and solo experience is what I liked most

We had an incredible CEO, but the value of the majority of the hotels was very low.

I has done several trips with G Adventures. The Mexico trip I have just finished was mediocre
12/30/2023
The CEOs go above and beyond. The accommodations are at the right level (hotel, buses, transfers). The places seen are incredible and are often things I wouldn't have found on my own.

Very knowledgeable and very proud of the Mexican culture to share with the guests on the tour.

I don't think my friends would be as interested in the 'classic' style of travel.

Good guides and great people on tour. Well organized and good itinerary.

Makes planning a trip easy. Very social. This company tends to attract people who prefer adventure over luxury so the group had this in common. The CEO knows about lots of activity options and has general local knowledge. Not a 10 only because the group decision making and frequent travel days mean you don't accomplish as much.

Well, based on my experience, the group of people I travel with were around my age and it was an amazing experience, also Edgar was amazing. Great communicator, kept us busy but giving us the liberty to do what we wanted as well. It was an awesome trip.

I had the opportunity to embark on a remarkable travel adventure to Mexico, exploring the enchanting cities of Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, Guanajuato, and San Miguel de Allende.
