Amazing experience. Great CEO that managed everyone's needs and wants well and went out of their way to educate and make sure we got the most of our time. Great group of fellow travelers

This was my 3rd tour with G Adventures and it was truly the experience of a lifetime. Michaela was an awesome CEO and made this trip a 10/10 for me. The tour itself was well-organized, efficient, and with a lot of thoughtful touches/recommendations. I know people worry for me as a single woman traveler, but I always feel safe with G Adventures.

knowledgeable guide with the perfect amount of hand holding and chance to choose independence

The experience was effortless and very well organised. I think it could benefit from disclosing, or somehow grouping together people of a similar age. There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding this prior to the welcome meeting.

This is an active tour of Alaska, which is perfect for the outdoorsy person looking for an adventurous tour of the national parks.

I like the structure of the G Adventures trips. This is my 3rd trip and it's been the best one yet. This one was particularly different as it was more on the active side - so an early icebreaker among the group was key as many of the activities revolved around hiking (and it does take a bit of teamwork). Having camping in the first half (and then cabins in the second) made the difference. It allowed for us to bond, to get to know each other, and really build that connection and community atmosphere. The activities and optionals were also great, particularly the hike selection and the marine/glacier tour. Our CEO was knowledgeable and accommodating (I have an NPS passport so he made sure we allotted time for cancellation stamps). Truly, truly recommend this tour.

As the trip met all my expectations, I would consider the same would occur for the person I recommend this to.

It was so nice not having to worry about the planning of a trip and being with people who enjoy adventure and the outdoors.

I've taken 4 trips with G Adventures and loved them all

I really enjoyed my experience with G Adventures, I felt like the trip was well planned, and felt like the price for the trips was reasonable.

Have travelled any times with G, well organized, good selection of activities with the Active groups. Singles not penalized.

exceptional guide, travel schedule and cost.
07/02/2024
Overall the trip itself was fantastic. I was underwhelmed by the pre-trip experience - basically zero communication from G in the days leading up to the trip, and when I reached out for info, getting referred to an app that doesn't really function. But the trip itself was fabulous!!
07/10/2024
Trip was already fairly costly at baseline and did not include additional optional activities and many meals - these expenses added up to a hefty sum on top of the trip cost and were hard to estimate in advance.
07/10/2024
I loved the trip!! Michaela was so amazing and fun, and alaska was so great to see. The hikes were my favorite part!
07/02/2024
The planned itinerary (accommodations, food, activities) was very helpful for my first time travelling solo. This allowed me to focus more on the experience and less on the planning aspect. Additionally, meeting and travelling with other people enhanced the experience and made it more eventful.
07/02/2024
This is my second trip with G and both have been incredibly personalized and impactful. Only reason it's not a 10/10 is because I always feel like I'm going in sliiighhhhtly blind. Would love more customized packing lists, and would LOVE an email from the CEO a couple days before hand to hear from them about what to expect. Itinerary is good for an overall basis, but I need to know things like if we are carrying our bags the whole time, if there is a trailer, etc.

I had an amazing once in a life experience with my tour. I had a blast meeting new people and getting to know them. Some things that didn't make it perfect were the inconsistencies in the meal planning. I didn't think breakfast should be included every day but instead dinner at the more expensive restaurants instead of making me pay a lot to eat at a fancy restaurant. Overall the trip was amazing and Ill remember the experiences I had forever.

Love the group experience and meeting new people from around the world!

Depending on where they want to go I would recommend G Adventures to someone if they had a limited amount of time or if they wanted to travel somewhere that would be difficult to do alone.

G Adventures usually offers budget friendly active trips.
