Excellent staff on the ground. From Monika, to Leo and Nestor, as well as the porters and chefs. They all cared and it showed. They love their jobs and it's hard not to be inspired to be there because they are so happy.

I appreciate the ease of travel with G Adventures - they arrange transportation and accommodations for the trip, which provides a more enjoyable experience overall. Further, they offer additional activities to add-on to every experience. I've been on three G Tours so far, and each was wonderful!

They were super accommodating to my food restrictions and it was great not to have to worry about planning most of the trip for the Inca Trail. Everything was taken care of and we had a great time. Group 8 for the porters were amazing, including all of the porters, chefs and our guides (Josep and Frederico) made the trip for us!
