In Their Own Words
We asked the travel companies themselves why you should travel with them
G Adventures came from a desire to deliver authentic and responsible small group travel adventures that were equally life-changing for travellers and the communities they visit. And we’re been doing just that for almost 30 years. Our award-winning trips span seven continents and over 100 countries, giving you meaningful experiences with people, cultures, landscapes and wildlife, as well as offering you the freedom and flexibility to explore on your own.
On all of our tours, you get to know locals every step of the way, from the places you visit and stay to where you eat and drink. You’ll also get to experience our ‘G for Good’ social impact initiatives on-trip, including our industry-leading ‘Ripple Score’. This score measures, as a percentage, the amount of money that stays in the local community through on-trip services like accommodation, restaurants and transport.

Galápagos – West & Central Islands aboard the Reina Silvia Voyager
Jo and David, NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
Amazing trip, G Adventures and South American team made everything easy. Boat was incredible, crew fantastic, guide Omar was a standout. Such a fun group of people from all over the world to travel with too. Included transfers took away any stress. Just do it, most incredible place on earth and a great way to do it.
This is an outstanding tour in all respects. Excellent itinerary, good accommodation, very knowledgable tour leadership and local guides. All in a small group. Highly recommended. Good support in getting it organised from the Global Journeys team.
This was our first time travelling with a tour group and it was amazing!!! The pace of this tour is perfect and the small group size allows for lots of hanging out together and enjoying each others company. If you want to see Italy at a relaxed pace where some things are planned and you have free time to do what you want then this tour is for you.

Great trip. Amazing sights and wildlife 0
Sydney Roundtrip: Australia's Greatest Hits
Dawn and Gary, TX, United States, Feb 2026
This was an amazing trip. We saw great landscapes and wildlife. Since it was a combination trip, we had 2 different CEOs but the were both amazing. A note to those doing the Red Centre, the accommodations are tented sites with no electricity in the tents and quite a walk to the restrooms/ showers. Had I fully understood this, I probably would have taken an alternative trip.
Fantastic tour! Be prepared for some pretty intense climbing/hiking at altitude. Machu Picchu was surreal. I learned so much more about the history of the Inca and the other cultures that were present throughout out the area. Fascinating and well worth the effort!

This was my first Globus journey and I feel that we were so lucky! First of all Luis our tour director was so fun and had so much knowledge to share with us. That was a great personality combo! Second our bus driver, Joel was a master behind the wheel!! Third we had a small group of 29 who ranged in age from 10 to 81 … who I now call my friends. I read more can’t wait to make another reservation. And PS…I was one of the 81 year olds!
Fantastic 17 day Portugal, Spain & Morocco tour 0
Spain, Portugal & Morocco
Alan and Tracey, QLD, Australia, Jun 2026
We have just completed the 17 day Portugal, Spain and Morocco tour with tour director Miguel (Portuguese). What a fantastic tour. All local tour guides were special, however the the local guide of Morocco (for 6 days) was 'Moh' and he had extensive knowledge but was intense in his sales pitch for each stop, his disrespect when an incident occurred with read more an elderly female passenger (fell whilst utilising the bathrooms), his ongoing repeated sales advertisements (inappropriate). Also the accommodation of the 'Imperial Hotel' at Rabat was definitely below forecast ratings and was actually uncomfortable. In all the tour director was amazing and kept everyone entertained, great humour, honesty, compassion and engaging throughout the 17 days. I would have given this tour '5 stars' except for the local Moroccan tour guide. The sights are amazing and I would recommend this tour.
Interesting and well planned tour. 0

Exploring America's Great Parks
Barbara, IL, United States, May 2026
Excellent tour! We saw so many remarkable, awe-inspiring sites which I had never seen and learned so much about history, nature, zoology and geology. The tour gave me an increased appreciation of the wonders in our country. Our guide Daphne was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. Our driver Anson was great too. It was amazing how he could navigate read more some of these tight mountain passes! I was the only solo traveler in our group, and the group made me feel welcome. There were hotel changes every night except one although that was expected in terms of the distance we covered. I am so glad and grateful that I took this trip! Ethan at Global Journeys was always prompt and polite too.
