The tour did not provide enough flexibility when activities got cancelled due to weather or other reasons. I was not able to do the heli hike at Franz Josef (cancelled) and although people asked for it there was no option (due to G Adventures schedule) to try again the next day. Also we were not able to do the Mount Cook Valley Trek because it was closed for a few hours and there was no option (due to G Adventures schedule) to wait a few hours for it to open.

Most of the factors that would figure into my recommendation regard whether they are interested in this style of travel.

The tour was really well thought through with some amazing activities lined up as well as other optional activities which are truest once in a lifetime experiences.

The age group / demographic (eg 19-82), marital status (half the group were couples) and group size (16 or so) did not really enable life long friendships (unlike another tour company I have been with)

Freedom to choose activities and involvement, meeting people across the world, CEOs who are passionate about travel and guiding us to have a good time.

Past trips, quality of CEO, customer service in scheduling.

James, our guide was fantastic. But from G Adventures side are a few things that could make his life or ours ad costumer easier (e.g. dolphin swim was fully booked)

Super friendly and easy way to meet lots of like minded people! It especially takes the stress away from solo travelling

Everything was well organised and super easy going

The tour itself was great, aside from 2 accommodations, and the tour director was stellar. All my troubles with G Adventures were with registration and getting signed up and getting any information back from them.
02/26/2023
it's such a fun way to travel and takes all the hassle of out organising
02/12/2023
Have had a positive experience on this, and previous Peru, trip. CEO knowledge and organization were impressive, absolutely invaluable
