I had 2 tour guides during my first trip with G Adventures and both of them were very great at their jobs and very informative. I take time to mingle with people but this trip came up with new friends from different parts of the world along with unforgettable memories.

Should be more filtering on the tours as a lot of them just end up as party tours
12/01/2023
A lot to see in a short time
12/01/2023
I enjoy G tours myself and it's ethical practices. I've recommended G to several friends and family members in the past and some have gone on to book and enjoy their own yours
11/08/2023
While I enjoyed the trip, the tour did not present as good value for money as I have experienced with other travel providers
08/23/2023
Really good organized and likeable CEOs. The time at each location could have been spread better (more time in Singapore, skip Melaka)
08/16/2023
Both tours I have been on have been excellent
08/11/2023
It was an amazing experience none of us will ever forget. Great travelers, the best CEOs (especially Pentor!) and a great mix of different activities and free time. Everything was organized, nothing to worry about and the CEOs were always there for us making sure that have a great stay in Asia.

Super easy and fun way to meet people and take the stress out of travel
07/21/2023
I would definitely recommend, but also make sure they know this is high pace and not the most luxurious one. If they are okay with that I would absolutely recommend.
07/21/2023
I had a wonderful experiences under many points of view. I had two CEOs and they were both great, super friendly and helpful. Moreover, the local guides for the homestays in Thailand and Malaysia were good hosts and getting close to their culture was such a wonderful experience! Lastly, all the transportation and most of the accommodation were very good.
07/19/2023
There is a huge range of itineraries on offer that cater to just about anyone's tastes/interests, and you get to travel and experience a lot of fun things with a group of like-minded people
07/12/2023
The guides, especially the ones Native to the country you are visiting are extremely helpful in giving you ideas of what to do and what to eat to give you a trip that is tailored to you! The guides do a great job of getting to know everyone and make the experience that much better. These tours are a great way to see a lot in a short period of time but can be exhausting.
07/07/2023
I think overall the group travel experience in and of itself helped the score to be higher than I would rate G Adventures themselves. It was 'good' but there was room for improvement.
06/21/2023
I had a great experience with my travel and though it was a great way to travel!
06/07/2024
The group was reassembled three times. It is very exhausting to always have to adapt to new people. I have done other group tours with the same group and the same guide for the whole time, this was much better.
06/07/2024
The Trip was very nice. The first Group was good. The Second Group was much to young.
05/24/2024
I enjoyed that the trip was so organized and I always felt any problem I would encounter would be quickly and efficiently solved. The guides were all very friendly and welcoming!
