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.
We are the world’s leading and most awarded travel brand spanning all 7 continents of the globe. From the iconic to the unexpected our guests connect to the real depth of the places we go.

Fairly fast paced wish we had more time in some places but overall a good length to see and experience enough of nice summer spots in Europe. Accomodations were clean 2 were too small for 6 girls in 1 room. Guide was very open and communicative and easy way to not stress about making your own travel arrangements.
Wonderful crew of diverse folks, great skipper, perfect weather, unique experiences on the sea and land. I highly recommend Global Journeys and would use them again!
We have just finished our two-week 'Highlights of Morocco tour with G Adventures and it was excellent. Our small group of eight was in the best of hands with Abdel our guide and Ismail our driver. The mini bus was air-conditioned and comfortable. The tour included many little extras off the normal tourist trail such as meals in family homes and visits ...read more to women's co-operatives. The accommodation was good and the food was wonderful. We all came home eager to try and replicate some of the new dishes we were given.
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.

Very well managed, fast paced tour, but enjoyable. Too much to see in a short time, but tour director was excellent and made it very enjoyable.
Best of France was a wonderful trip. Our TD was Bruno who was excellent, which made our journey relaxed and fun. Our driver Jordan was very friendly and exceptionally skill full in his driving. The group we were travelling with was of mixed ages and we all got along and had fun together. Special thanks to Tracey at Global Journeys who handled our booking ...read more and was always available to answer our questions.

Loved our Trafalgar experience. Good Hotels, good Coach & Driver, Good tour guide. They know where to take you, when to take you and how to best get you in. Nothing is too much trouble. Hannah did an excellent job organizing our finer details for us.
Our Britain and Ireland Grandeur tour was fantastic. The tour guide was the best we've ever had. He was friendly, approachable, helpful, very well organised and had a very good knowledge of all the many places we visited as well as the history of the local area. The driver was fantastic too as she was friendly, helpful, safe and very capable She ...read more had a good relationship with the tour director and all of the local specialists that came along, taking us to many places that were pretty challenging to drive a coach. The local specialists were all very good too and gave interesting insights into their local area. Even though the tour was fast paced there was always enough time to look around the places we visited, have a coffee or a meal, do a bit of shopping or have a chat with the locals as well as visit the rest rooms. The optional experiences were all worthwhile and added greatly to the overall experience. We have no hesitation in recommending this tour to anyone who wants to get a good overview of the UK and Ireland.
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.
