We saw so much in such little time, truly a life changing experience. Stress was minimal with Kyle in charge. He was INCREDIBLE!!!!

This month long trip was a once in a lifetime experience with great CEOs and amazing group of fellow travellers and opportunities to challenge myself with activities such as climbing volcanoes, volcano boarding, zip lining and snorkelling with sharks and stingrays. Getting to see countries that not many people vacation in and learning their histories and cultures with the homestays was priceless too. Highly recommend.

I love the experience of the tour, but it's very much impacted by the CEO and of course the group itself. The social impact aspect of the tour makes for a lovely enriching local experience.

Nichole S.On Jan 7, 2019

Very good. As someone from a country where tipping is not standard, I felt the consistent pressure to tip people annoying and costly, particularly when I felt some of the activities were more expensive than other options available justified by ceos as using sustainable partners that paid better salaries to staff- then I didn?t feel necessity of tipping so much. For example, Manfred suggested $2 a day for a driver, and then said the total tips for like a 4 day drive totalled around half his salary for a month. I felt CEO?s wanted to have good relationships with local providers to encourage priority service for g tours but the onus of encouraging that positive feeling was put on guests through expectation of tips for nearly every service- I think it should be paid by better salaries from g adventures.
