G Adventures About Us Started by Bruce Poon Tip in the year 1990, G Adventures transformed from a young man’s vision into a global conglomerate in a very short amount of time. As an enthusiastic and passionate traveler, Bruce dreamt of sharing his travel experience with the world. Giving birth to G Adventures with nothing but personal credit cards, this one-man army soon emerged with over 2000 employees spread over 23 different offices all over the world. Now catering to more than 150000 travelers each year, G Adventures is truly one of the largest and most passionate tour operators out there. A Sense of Adventure Ever had that overpowering feeling of heading off to an adventure after watching movies like Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider? Adventure travel has a way of making you fall in love with the world, helping you discover yourself and learn unique skillsets as you explore the planet, meet new people and get your adrenaline pumping. G Adventures will help you do all that. Smaller Groups One of the biggest issues that most group travelers face is the group size. Most tour operators conduct tours in large groups which could spoil the entire experience. This is what makes G Adventures so different. We specialize in offering tours in smaller group sizes at some of the most exclusive places in the world, all at the best prices. A smaller group simply opens up your itinerary a little more, making it more accessible, proving security and companionship and offering enriching experiences with complete strangers. Travel Responsibly The world is a beautiful place to be in and traveling is probably the greatest gift that we can offer to ourselves and our loved ones. Enjoying a destination and becoming a part of its beautiful culture is a great thing to do, but it is equally important to ensure that you’re giving back to the community. From choosing local businesses and developing community based rural travel projects to offering disaster relief services and preventing animal abuse, G Adventures truly operates with the belief that travel is a medium of exchange, which means that they try and give back as much as possible to the local community. Quality Service As one of the most reputed travel operators on the planet, G Adventures is all about making your tours feel extra special. The company is a proud recipient of numerous awards, many of which highlight exactly how travel operators should be run. Some of the awards received by G Adventures include Baxter Travel Media Canada's Favourite Adventure Tour Operator, Readers Choice Best National Adventure Operator in Canada, Vacation.com Canada Specialty Tour Operator Partner of the Year and National Geographic Traveler's Tours of a Lifetime. So the next time you get one of those pangs, that lust for an adventure of a lifetime, all you have to do is choose your favorite destination, select your preferred G Adventures tour and dive into a world of mystery, excitement and endless fun.

This was an excellent Safari. The Tour was as described for style and is not for the faint hearted. We observed all of the animals and birdlife you could wish for. This was a real adventure and both my Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The itinery could do with an update although in the grand scheme of things would not have made much difference.

Excellent opportunity to get a feel for Southern Africa, as well as see large numbers of animals in their natural element. Victoria Falls was worth the 50 USD entry price. This is NOT a luxury tour! It is camping and cooking meals by the side of the road.

My trip to the Azores was fantastic! We saw so much in a short period of time and enjoyed a variety of activities. Our leader, Vera, was outstanding. She was very organized, friendly, fun, and thoughtful. Vera helped create a cohesive and congenial group.

Wow ! what a week I have just had in Israel on the Biblical Trip. I travelled on my own and joined a group of 11 others who were all lovely and we soon become one big family. Out guide Hilick from Rent a Guide was brilliant, so informative on the history and politics of his country. On this trip I went to places I would not of gone to independently. Highly recommend this trip, now to decide where to next ! will definitely use bookmundi again, so glad you popped up on my google search.

This was my first trip to India, and Kerala was the ideal place to start - relatively compact, affluent, clean, and accessible, with incredibly friendly, helpful locals, and a wide variety of sights to see. The pace of the trip was perfect, moving on to a new destination every other day, normally on the road for 3-4 hours, with plenty of comfort breaks and additional sights along the way. I feel like we saw as much as was comfortably possible in 12 days. The one area for improvement would be a little more free time to explore independently. In Cochin, in particular, we had a very busy morning visiting several churches, a palace and a synagogue, only stopping for a late lunch, and it seemed a missed opportunity to spend some time wandering through the narrow streets of the old quarter for tea, chats with locals, and a bit of shopping. This would have helped with orientation too, as it was our first full day after the long journey from the UK.

I liked the group of people, I think they made it 100% worth it. I love the opportunities of activities to do. The only thing I would change is that on the itinerry before you book the trip and get htere they put weight limits on the activites so you are not dissapointed when you find out when you get there there are activiteis you cannnot do.

Each day the hiking was different. The logistics were well covered- hauling our luggage from hotel to hotel and showing up with rides to our hikes. The hotels were all very comfortable. I would recommend using this company for hiking trips.

Our guide Anthea was excellent. After a driving tour through the downtown sites and a stop at the park near Parliament, we went to Table Mountain where the clouds had cleared and views we beautiful. The Groot Constantia winery lunch & wine tasting were fantastic, and our walking tour through Kirstenbosch Garden & the Tree Canopy memorable.

New to solo travel and my first trip with Explore I was anxious ahead of departure about navigating my way in ‘free time’ and there being meals not included and whether I’d been left on my own. None of these worries manifested. Help, guidance and support at these times were confidence building for future travel opportunities as was the chance to chat with more accomplished travellers. There was a mixed age range and spread of solo travellers and couples. Our friendly and engaging driver Riyaan was waiting at the gate to do transfers, after an over night flight, his presence and smile reassuring from the outset. Riyaan and tour guide Bee complimented each other and worked as a team to present their country in an insightful and engaging way. We were always safe and given boundaries as to when circumstances demanded that we should be more cautious. Bee has boundless patience, energy and presence to manage expectations and an eclectic mix of travellers. An experienced, knowledgeable guide who has set comfortable boundaries and developed excellent strategies for managing group dynamics. Bee responded with empathy and compassion to situations arising for individuals in the group . Both she and Riyaan are passionate about their country and the poorer in their society and encouraged us to respond in small practical ways. A keen walker and swimmer I could participate in both activities. Both hikes were demanding and involved some rock scrambles and short sections of terrain that needed your full attention. I loved them both and the rewards in terms of views were worthwhile. Being so close to the sea I would have liked a few more opportunities to swim. Location, time within the itinerary and threats from sealife meant there were constraints and I acknowledge those. This trip gave a good overview of the country and my preconceived general assumptions were clearly misinformed. South Africa is beautiful with an abundance of wildlife so different to the UK. An early riser I was free at times to wander outside the constraints of the hotel enjoying the scents of early morning flowers before the heat of the day intensified. The people were so friendly and eager to please. On a practical level the hotel rooms all provided kettles and drink making facilities, I took my own Earl Grey teabags. Rooms often had good sized fridges and air conditioning. Some had pools, mostly for dipping and cooling off, rather than serious swimming. Food and drink is very reasonably priced. There was always bottled water available in hotels and minibus to top up personal water bottles. A really great trip I can heartily recommend.

Great tour. Our leader had to change our itinerary due to Christmas. This meant that we went to Hellfire pass the following morning as opposed to a full rest day. This was an improvement as the original itinerary of everything on the one day would have been too much. It also meant that we enjoyed a second trip on the river to get to the dock - much better
