How would we ever see the world the way we do without G Adventures? The itineraries are varied and extensive for all destinations, there are options for everyone when choosing a trip and during the trip. Many of the like minded people on our trip have been on multiple G trips in the past and it was fun and an excellent resource to share our favourites. The CEOs at G are very much above average in the service they provide and the logistics they manage. Thank you. KellyShow more

  Traveler•Written January 2026
  Any exceptions? He will be 11 years and 9 months. I'm also happy to share height/weight if that would be helpful for any of the activities.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2026
  If there are 8-12 people going, you would need to contact the groups department for a private departure via the contact us section on the G Adventures website. I believe if its a private group, the age may be adjusted for you
