We loved the tour run by G Adventures. Very pleased we did the 2 week tour rather than a shorter tour as there is so much to see and experience. Accommodation was modest but safe and adequate, transportation in a dedicated minibus was excellent. As on other G Adventures tours, the other participants were very compatible from a range of nationalities. ...read more We were thrilled with the tour and commend it to others.
We had a fabulous 15 day highlights tour of Morocco with G Adventures in May. Fabulous fast paced tour led by a brilliant Chief Experience Officer. We explored beaches, medinas, Sahara desert and the High Atlas Mountains. We had a group of 10 from different countries and had a great time. Highly recommended.
A once in a lifetime trip that would have been tricky to plan solo. We were lucky with a smaller group size for the first part of our trip and everyone from the CEO’s, drivers and local guides were friendly, knowledgeable and passionate which really added to the experience. Certainly adventure over relaxation for the most part but we were incredibly ...read more fortunate to see the big five and loved soaking it all in. Would absolutely recommend Global Journeys and G Adventures in future and no doubt this won’t be our last trip.
Extremely well organised, from booking process, ongoing communications through to the tour itself. Tour guide was first class, small group, good range of included and optional activities allowing for some flexibility. All travel and accommodation of good standard. We weren't sure what to expect as this was our first group tour. We were pleasantly surprised ...read more and will definitely be travelling this way again. Really felt like we got to experience Vietnam for our first trip to that country.
Maisie was great with helping me organise a last minute trip to Sri Lanka with G Adventures. Highly recommend both G Adventures and Global Journeys for easy and hassle free travelling and support!
Spent an amazing 3 weeks exploring the 3 countries. Never knew of Belize before signing up for this tour and had one of the best snorkeling experience ever. Being a bit of a longer tour than the usual 2 weeks, it can get tiring towards the end but this tour really covers a lot of places and distances and much time on the road. Nevertheless, this tour ...read more is a great way to get the taste of Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Best tacos and coffees.

Absolutely wonderful tour and great itinerary! Highly recommend for a tour of Northern Italy. Travel time was planned
smartly and efficiently to ensure the time was spent well. It's easy to add another extension before or after the group tour as well with Milan as a central location.

This was my 4th Trafalgar tour and my 2nd booked through Global Journeys. I was not disappointed and highly recommend both. Spain was spectacular and each day was as exciting as the previous one. It is a country that just keeps on giving, from palaces to little markets. Spanish Wonders is a fast paced tour if you do all of the optional tours, however ...read more I would have missed some unforgettable sights and sites if I had not chosen the extras.
Our tour was very well organized. Our tour guide and bus driver were excellent. The group were very good which made for a great holiday. We enjoyed all the beautiful places we visited - a couple of long days on the coach that were expected but our guide broke them up with visits to small towns and comfort stops. All in all, a fabulous holiday.
Enjoyed the overall trip Tour Guide Danilo was great…found it very full on with some days lots of time on the coach. Disappointed with meals included in price by Trafalgar and found Optional Extras very expensive with Australian dollar rate. Still had good time and met great people but also think Trafalgar should organise something for those not doing ...read more the Optional Extras (in the day) rather than just "free time".
