Epic
I met some of the best characters on this group tour, friends for life and had some of the experiences and memories that will live with me forever. The 65 day tour of South America is fast moving and packs so much in. The CEOs from G are the best and are always there to take care of you and the rest of the group, all you have to do is turn up and enjoy your trip
A wonderful trip which covers many of the highlights of South America. Fast paced trip as moving from place to place a lot which was fine with me but some people could find this very tiring. Good range of places visited from cities to beaches to countryside. I enjoyed the included activities but would have been happier for the price of the trip to be slightly higher so that more activities were included. I would recommend the trip to others.
If you’re looking to go travelling, and want to minimise the stress and time taken to sort out hotels, transport and excursions, whilst also having a group of like-minded people to socialise with, then G Adventures is the best option on the market.
Trip of a life time, loved every second of the trip. Thank you!! ? ??
It has been an absolute trip of a lifetime that I will never forget. So much has been ticked off my bucket list in just one trip and I have made friends for life. I am so sad that the trip has come to an end but I will 100% be booking through G again.
This trip is a true adventure!
It was an incredible experience that I will never forget!
This trip was a life-changing experience that allowed me to experience such a diverse continent with multiple cultures. Moreover, it enabled me to witness some of the most spectacular landscapes and scenery I have ever seen in the world.
