What is the most appropriate type of luggage to bring?
G Adventures strongly recommend bringing a backpack or duffel bag, as suitcases can be cumbersome and difficult to store in buses, under seats, etc.. Keep in mind that you will normally have to carry your own luggage on and off buses and trains and up and down hotel staircases. Suitcases with wheels may not work well on dirt or cobblestone roads.
How are G Adventures able to offer such competitive prices?
Their unique style of off the beaten track, face-to-face travel is the only way to really experience a destination, but it also serves to keep the costs down. They spend your money providing an authentic experience, instead of on lavish hotels and expensive western-style meals. G Adventures pass these savings on to you with their low prices. Another thing you’ll notice are the inclusions.
While G Adventures don’t include everything, they do throw in the major highlights of a destination, the things that everyone goes to see. On every trip page, they show you the ‘Included Highlights’ of your trip, things that many other companies charge locally for. G Adventures leave many other activities as options, to give you the freedom and flexibility to choose what you want to do on a daily basis.
Can I book extra nights of hotel accommodation before or after my tour?
Yes, in most cases they can arrange additional accommodation at their starting or ending hotels, excluding European tours. Please contact a G Adventure Specialist for price information or check under “Hotels, Transfers & City Breaks” on the tour page of their website for prices. If they cannot provide you with the extra nights, they will give you the name of a hotel you can contact directly. Extra accommodations must be booked outside of 30 days of departure.
Is tipping included and if not, how much should I budget?
Tips are not included in the tour price and tipping is entirely at your discretion. Their Trip Details documentation includes suggested tipping amounts and these can be downloaded from each individual trip summary page.
What about Refunds, exchanges and returns for G Adventures?
Cancellation fees apply and the fee will differ depending on the trip and in accordance with the terms of the agreement. If cancellation is made 60 days before the trip, G Adventures shall retain the lifetime deposit. G Adventures will refund the customer the remainder of their payment. For cancellations made between 59 and 30 days prior, G Adventures will retain the deposit and an amount that is equal to 50% of the payment and then refund the remainder.
Can you help arrange my travel visas?
Requirements for travel visas vary widely depending on your nationality and your destination. Although G Adventures are unable to arrange visas on your behalf we have provided links on the “Resources” page to websites that will help you determine if visas are required.
