Spectacular climbing expedition in Cordillera Real with ascents of Pequeno Alpamayo (5370m/17,618ft), Huayna Potosi (6088m/19,973ft) & Illimani (6438m/21,122ft). This is the complete climbing trip to Bolivia. The towering white peaks of the Cordillera Real provide a majestic backdrop above the vast Bolivian altiplano. This is a spectacular alpine region ideally suited to anyone who is looking to undertake a series of classic mountaineering ascents in one of the world's finest alpine locations. To ensure sound acclimatisation we spend time in La Paz and the ‘Island of the Sun’ on Lake Titicaca before heading to the snow capped Cordillera Real, where we undertake 2 days of instruction with our experienced guides to prepare for the ascents. An excellent level of fitness is necessary to help ensure your summit ambitions as we undertake a series of progressively more challenging peaks, culminating with Illimani, a moderately technical peak recognised as one of the classic climbs of South America. You will complete this expedition with enhanced mountaineering skills and the knowledge acquired through undertaking the various challenges that these interesting peaks offer.

My second amazing G Adventures tour. I thought it would be hard to top the staff in Nepal, but Adolf and the G team in Tanzania were just as amazing. You can definitely tell the porters and staff are happier at G than some of the other groups. Overall well done, well executed, and friendly/caring staff. The food was also amazing, considering it was prepared fresh on the mountain!

Honestly, this trip to Chile was something else. I didn’t know what to expect going in, but wow — it blew me away. From city life to total wilderness to the most surreal desert I’ve ever seen… it had everything.
Santiago totally surprised me. It’s got this cool energy. one minute you're walking past old colonial buildings next you’re sipping wine on a rooftop with views of the Andes. And the food? Next level. I was legit full the entire time.
Then came Patagonia and I mean, come on. You see photos online, but being there? Completely different. Puerto Natales was the cutest little town, super chill with killer views, and it just felt so peaceful. And then you're surrounded by mountains that make you feel really, really small (in a good way).
And just when I thought the trip had peaked, boom we’re in the Atacama Desert. I’ve never seen landscapes like that before. Moon Valley looked like Mars, no joke. The salt flats were insanely quiet and still, like the world paused for a second. And those mirror-like lagoons? Unreal. I took way too many pictures.
The whole thing was smooth — flights, guides, hotels — didn’t have to think about a thing. If you want a trip that’s equal parts adventure, nature, and just pure “whoa,” this one’s it. I came back with full camera storage and even fuller memories.

Excellent itinerary and the tour leader added in other things such as zip wiring and visiting a musical family. There were power cuts but they did not cause a problem as the hotel provided lamps.

This trip was a truly memorable experience. First, fantastic awe-inspiring scenery that managed to be different every day, but always majestic and unbelievably grand. Second, an excellent guide who not only knew his stuff but managed our group in a very effective, pleasant, but low-profile way in every respect. He was always there for us, and necessary changes were handled seamlessly and pleasantly without fuss. Third, overall organisation, so that things happened when they were supposed to.

Was a great trip Day 3 of actual bike ride, day 4 of trip perhaps not as enjoyable as 5km of loose gravel road and then quite a bit on a reasonably busy road which we weren't use to, but the destination, was worth it.
This unforgettable escorted tour begins in Los Angeles and takes you on a breathtaking journey through the diverse landscapes of the American Southwest and West Coast. Travel through vibrant desert cities and explore some of the country’s most iconic national parks, including Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Yosemite. Experience the awe-inspiring beauty of Monument Valley, the stark and surreal terrain of Death Valley, and the dramatic scenery of the Sonoran Desert — the most biologically diverse desert ecosystem in the Americas. In Sedona, marvel at stunning red-rock formations like Cathedral Rock and Coffee Pot Rock, set within a one-of-a-kind geological landscape. Stand at the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, and witness its immense scale and vibrant rock layers carved by the Colorado River. Venture into the Navajo Nation, visit Lake Powell and Glen Canyon Dam, and discover the unique hoodoos of Bryce Canyon. In Zion National Park, admire massive sandstone cliffs carved by time and the Virgin River. Experience the dazzling energy of Las Vegas with its world-famous casinos, shows, and neon-lit Strip. From the desert floor, ascend to the alpine beauty of Mammoth Lakes and continue on to the majestic Yosemite National Park, home to towering waterfalls and granite icons like El Capitan and Half Dome. Your journey concludes in San Francisco, one of America’s most fascinating and beloved cities, where you’ll explore landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, and the city's charming neighborhoods.

Excellent way to get a beautiful tour of key cities travelling by trains, luxury bus, funiculars, cog trains, and a 2 story gondola. We saw everything Switzerland is known for and tasted excellent food and stayed in 5 star hotels. Tour guides and bus driver were so friendly, helpful, courteous, patient and became like part of the family by the time we finished. You don't want to miss this tour of Switzerland.

I had an amazing wonderful experience visiting Bhutan with this company over the past week. From the start to the end of the trip, I was very well taken care of by Tsenrig (owner), Kar Chung (guide) & Leki (driver). My itinerary was adapted to my likings (nature, local cultural experience & food) and Maebar delivered well!
Key highlights of the trip include: leisurely walks across the pine forests at Phobjikha Valley & rustic authentic villages, a challenging hike to Tiger's Nest at 4000m high, a unique local hot stone bath & cuisine dinner in a village home, immersing myself in ancient architectures & monastery way of life at Punakha and Rinpung Dzongs hundreds of years old etc.
All hotel lodgings arranged were very comfortable, clean & spacious. The all inclusive food was a good mix of familiar international cuisine, as well as additional local Bhutanese food.
I leave Bhutan with fond memories and appreciation of its unique & rich heritage. Many thanks to Tsenrig, Kar Chung and Leki for a wonderful trip!
This tour provider hits it out of the park on the big wins: safety, logistics, and expertise. Their guides conducted twice daily health checks, measuring blood oxygen to ensure we were acclimating appropriately and they had medication ready to cover any malady. On summit day they carried oxygen as a safety measure that I found necessary after experiencing altitude sickness and the team even provided it to another suffering climber whose guides were not carrying oxygen. Not all guide services have these safety measures!
The logistics flow was impressive from the get-go with airport and hotel shuttles. The camp logistics on-mountain was even more so. We’d depart camp after breakfast, they’d have tea and snacks set up along the trail, and we’d arrive at lunch to find the mess tent already set up with lunch ready, just to find it and our sleeping tents set up again at the end of the hike with tea and popcorn waiting and dinner shortly to follow. The consideration that the Porter team put into our comfort was overwhelming.
The expertise of the team was unquestionable. The company clearly takes hiring very seriously and recruits knowledgeable guides. Professionals across the board whom we greatly trusted.
With the big wins checked off in style, the company goes above and beyond with personal touches that make the trip truly memorable. I think the most memorable for us was the tradition and ceremony that the team brought to the experience - celebratory group singing and dancing especially, even cakes and champagne! Then small things like hot water bottles to keep sleeping bags warm really made us feel well cared for.
