The itinerary & quality of guiding & transport

The experience was outstanding: Khalid and his various colleagues were exceptional in the way they looked after us - always making sure each of the group was OK and informed. There were no glitches and - when any times did change through other circumstances - they were communicated in a clear way. My score would have been a 10 but for the G Adventures App. It didn't work for me and so we had to share within the family and screen-shot various elements of the itinerary.

Great experiences, knowledgeable, professional guide, but the food was a bit redundant and the lodging was more rustic than anticipated.

We had a great experience.

Yasine our CEO was great and we couldn't have asked for a better person to lead our group. The accommodations were good with the exception of our second camping outing. That experience leads us to think that we are not so eager to recommend G. The camp was not set up and the tents were too small. We would recommend to use the first camp site and not the second one.

Easy as all of the planning is done for you. Also security of being in a group is good in certain countries.

The trip was exactly what I was hoping for. A genuine experience of another culture, well organized, the tour guide was delightful and all the staff made us feel very welcome.

Great guide and everything was well planned!

This style of travel' is the key - small groups and not expensive in terms of lodging or transport - if that is what people are looking for then G mostly fits the bill.

Good organization, great places visited and affordable prices

I loved the trip, the only things that I didn't like was how hard it was to find the start hotel meeting place. It was buried in some pdf and not just shown on the app or anything. And the camping was very cold. It was hard to stay warm during the nights and I had to wear most of my clothes to stay warm. This was not made clear and I would have packed differently had I known

it's a good option and a safe way to travel if you want to go in a small group with a set itinerary. G Adventures has a good selection of tour options around the world

The tour was incredible- everything I thought it would be and more. I had so much fun meeting people from around the world and getting to see and experience the travel. this kind of trip was great because you didn't feel like a tourist walking around and looking at monuments, but you got to experience the culture and learn

Liked the group size, competent and very devoted, hard working guide, interesting places, good food.

Our guide, Said, was the best but we could have been better equipped for our night camping in the desert.
11/03/2023
Mustafa our guide, made us feel part of the family, i felt safe, and had the most rewarding experience from a new destination. It was great to see the local and real morocco. From The airport arrival to the return, I felt mustafa made our tour a real adventure and would highly recommend this trip.

Before I was lucky enough to go on one of their trips I would rave about G Adventures. I love that they basically have something for everyone, I love what they do to help the local economies their trips go into, I love their ethos, I really could go on and on.

The trip itself was flawlessly run, Mustapha was fantastic and had everything covered. I had every confidence in him and everything he was taking us to. Nothing was too much to ask and he had every answer.
