This week long tour to Egypt and Jordan takes you to some of the most popular attractions in both of these beautiful countries, with activities and experience geared to giving you an authentic Middle Eastern experience.
The Egypt leg stays in Cairo, as we explore its Great Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian Museum, along with a day in beautiful Old Cairo.
The Jordan leg of the tour takes you to the lowest place on earth at the Dead Sea for a swim and float in its incredibly salty waters.
We'll explore the hills around the restored Dana village amidst the Dana Biosphere Reserve en-route to Jordan's biggest highlight, the hidden city of Petra. After spending some time in the rose-red city, we'll head into the Wadi Rum Desert, where we'll camp underneath the stars with the local Bedouins, learning about their nomadic desert lifestyle.
This was my second completely independent trip to China with this tour operator. I worked with Kyle Lee to organize the itineraries and book hotels, guides, internal trains, and more. This year, I chose to visit Chengdu and Chongqing, as well as some areas of interest near these two cities. I was originally supposed to travel with my daughter, but at the last moment, due to a knee issue, she decided not to come (especially since the trip included some hiking and physical effort). So, I embarked on this journey alone.
What can I say? Impeccable organization. Kyle is extremely helpful and exceptional at tailoring itineraries and travel experiences. He is attentive and present, with an incredible ability to craft trips that let you see exactly what you wanted – and even more. The guides were extraordinary. Diana, incredibly friendly and super communicative, managed to show me the most important parts of an immense city like Chongqing in just one day, while still giving me the space to explore certain places on my own when I needed it.
Andy, who assisted me with logistical transfers in Chengdu, accompanied me with charm, elegance, empathy, and a great sense of humor. Even though he was with me for a short time, he left a lasting impression. However, the highest praise goes to Rosa, my main guide in Chengdu, Leshan, and Mount Emei. Calling her a guide feels reductive – she was a friend, a travel companion, and like family. Tireless, incredibly knowledgeable, and always available. Seeing that I was traveling alone, she joined me for dinners and accompanied me well beyond her working hours. We went shopping together, talked with locals (thanks to her interpretation skills), and shared so much culturally, relationally, and personally. She welcomed me into her world, and I welcomed her into mine. I don’t think I’ve ever traveled with a guide so prepared, kind, and open, who introduced me not only to her country but also to such meaningful human connections.
If I could give 10 stars to this company, to Kyle, and to the amazing people I met, I absolutely would. Since I can only give 5 stars, I’ll do that instead – but I’m already thinking about traveling with them again next year!

Enjoy the freedom to be immersed in the diverse cultures of colourful, chaotic and enchanting India on this small-group adventure.
Amazing - loved the trip so much due to the semi-structured style of it and the amount of free time provided. I was able to do everything I wanted to do on the trip and more. Lu, our CEO, was brilliant! I would recommend this trip to anyone looking to go to Vietnam.
This was one of the best trips I have been on in years. I was pleasantly surprised at how kind the Chinese people were. Our guide was absolutely fantastic, and probably one of the most knowledgeable I’ve ever had! Nothing was ever too big or too small for him and he’d always recommend additional activities in our spare time. China is like no other Southeast Asia country, and its vast development is fascinating! You get to see the modern day, China, as well as the old historic sites. If you enjoy your food, you will not be disappointed by the options on this trip what makes it even better if you only pay about 6 pounds for a huge dinner!!
Brilliant guide and experience. The pace of the tour was very efficient, seeing a lot in a short amount of time. Manage expectations with accommodation and trains and you will really enjoy the experience. We had a brilliant group and the guide made it
I feel like I've seen as much of India as possible in a month. There was a full range of activities that included "must-see" sites. There was a balance of occasional free time without sacrificing getting as much out of our day as possible! The high opinion I have of your CEOs has remained intact--I don't know how you are able to harvest such high quality individuals to lead the tours. I love G Adventures.
Our trip to Thailand with National Geographic / G Adventures was an unforgettable, amazing trip. Our itinerary afforded us unique experiences to connect with local people and culture. Our CEO treated us like family and made each activity more meaningful and more fun.
Becky and the driver in Xian were great. We also had a positive experience with both drivers in Beijing and Luoyang. Overall, we are very pleased and enjoyed our tour experience.
Our Vietnam tour was thoroughly enjoyable—the food was incredible, and the scenery absolutely stunning. What made the experience even more seamless was our tour manager, who responded promptly to every request and went above and beyond to ensure we reached each destination smoothly. Much appreciated.
There’s a reason this trip was the one that started it all and remains one of the most popular. On this 13-day adventure, you'll discover Northern Thailand, experience the metropolis of bustling Bangkok, trek among the hillside villages, drift down the River Kwai in Kanchanaburi, see the historic temples of the Siam Kingdom and venture into Golden Triangle. With unbeatable hospitality, bustling local markets, serene mountains and rivers and plenty chance to make your own discoveries, come along and see why this trip was, and still is, a benchmark for all our adventures.
