The 30 day tour of South America was a trip of a lifetime made unforgettable by the dedication and enthusiasm of the CEOs.

Everyone we meet connected to G Adventures were very professional and made the trip exceptionally briliant.

Absolutely brilliant but G Adventures must address the awful and unsanitary accommodation on the salt flats.
MartinaOn Mar 17, 2024
Excellent
It was - once more - an amazing tour! 30 Days with 15 strangers are not easy to handle, but our guides did great and made sure we all had a fantastic time. Highly recommend!
Salvatore T.On Feb 16, 2024
Excellent
It was amazing to experience South America for the first time in this way with a guide that was passionate about his heritage and the areas we visited, and a group of like-minded people who got along so well.
