Melanie D | Traveled in September
Deeply impressed by Peru, loved the guidance by a local (all the guides spoke Quechua and gave us an introduction into their culture). Perfect mix of free time and program, great food, great people...really lovely. :-)
Deborah R | Traveled in January
Daniel, Robinson, Roger and the entire crew were wonderful, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We were impressed with the fine dining and care of our rooms as well. I would highly recommend G Adventures. We also felt safe at all times while on our 'adventures'.
Jeremy | Traveled in December
Our trip to the rainforest was one of the best things that I have done in my life (and I have been around)! Thank you so much for bringing a childhood dream to life!
Matthew | Traveled in June
The ship and guides (Usiel & Hulbert) are amazing, truly top notch. The pace allowed you to see animals of all varieties and the food was delicious! The musicianship of the boat staff was a wonderful surprise, too!
Manuela | Traveled in June
Overall a great experience in the jungle. The accommodation was very clean with no insects in the room - my biggest worry in advance. The excursions are great and depending on the weather adventurous. But that is whag I was looking for when booking this trip!

Do yourself a favor and book this incredible tour with Bamba. They were professional and quick to send me all the information I needed after I booked. The tour itself was incredible. I mean the salt falts are stunning, you can't go wrong here.
