I would like to join one of your tours. I already have a valid visa. However, I do not have an international bank account or access to international credit/debit cards, so I am unable to make payments directly by card. Is it possible to complete the payment through a money exchange service (sarrafi) or a third-party bank transfer, even if the payment is made from an exchange account but registered under my name as the participant? Please let me know if there are any alternative payment methods available for customers in my situation.

If I can pay in cash when I arrive, it would be much better for me

Do you have an age limit for this tour and is it all by train?

This tour is part of G Adventures' "18-to-Thirtysomethings" travel style, which means the age range for travellers is generally between 18 and 39 years old. In terms of transportation, the trip primarily uses rail travel between destinations, allowing travellers to experience Europe by train while enjoying scenic routes and city-to-city connections. Some local public transportation or short transfers may also be included throughout the itinerary where required.

is this tour acceptable for a minor under 17 years old, or is it mandatory to be 18 years and older?

The minimum age for this trip is 18 years +. If you have a child between 12-18, many of our classic trip options would be available or our National Geographic Family Journeys.

Why is this trip only for 18-39 yrs olds? Some of us Older would love to come and we have more money to Spend?

These tours are designed for travellers aged 18-39 years old wishing to form interpersonal connections with travellers around their age, while visiting a new destination. Travellers must be 39 years old or younger (but at least 18 years old) as of Day 1 of the departure date of the tour. We do often have travellers outside of this age range who are interested in these trips; however, we have to hold true to our promise on delivering the interpersonal experience we wish to offer with this product.

i need a visa as a Ugandan who wants to join this adventure. I would like to know if there is any kind of document you can provide me to support my visa application. And i would also like to know how i will manage the payment process as some one who is not sure how long my visa process might take.

It does look like you will require a visa for the countries that get visited. We would suggest finding out from your embassy what is going to be required for your Visa application. Also to find out how long the process is prior to making any travel plans.

What are the dining arrangements?

Dining arrangements include various meal options but specific requests should be communicated in advance to accommodate where possible.

What is the policy for group sizes?

Group sizes are managed to enhance the travel experience and are subject to the style and capacity of the tour.

What is the age limit for the 18-Thirtysomethings trips?

Travelers must be 39 years old or younger as of day one of the tour to participate in the 18-Thirtysomethings trips.

What if I'm interested in optional activities during the tour?

You can request and book optional activities available for the tour. Please inquire to get the latest updates on pricing and availability.

What types of accommodations are provided on the Paris to Barcelona tour?

Accommodation on this tour is multi-share, typically involving 4-6 group members, with shared bathroom facilities. Rooming requests cannot be taken for multi-share hostels.

Luke
Asked on May 25th, 2026
I would like to join one of your tours. I already have a valid visa. However, I do not have an international bank account or access to international credit/debit cards, so I am unable to make payments directly by card. Is it possible to complete the payment through a money exchange service (sarrafi) or a third-party bank transfer, even if the payment is made from an exchange account but registered under my name as the participant? Please let me know if there are any alternative payment methods available for customers in my situation.

- G AdventuresOperator•Written May 2026
  We understand you are asking about how payment can be made for your tour. As TourRadar is an online marketplace, payments cannot be made in cash on the tour. All payments need to be completed securely via our online payment portal at the time of booking. You can access and manage your payments directly through your TourRadar account under your booking details. This ensures your payment is safely processed and properly registered with your tour operator.

  Traveler•Written May 2026
  Since I do not have access to an international bank account or credit card in Iran, I would like to ask if it is possible to make the payment through a money exchange service (exchange office/sarrafi). The payment would be made from the exchange office's account, but the booking and tour participation would be under my name. Could you please let me know if this type of payment is acceptable?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written May 2026
  We understand how disappointing and frustrating this information must be, especially if you were hoping to use an exchange office to complete your payment. As TourRadar is a marketplace, we must follow each operator's own booking and sanctions compliance rules, and in this case, G Adventures has confirmed that they are not able to provide travel services to nationals from certain sanctioned countries/regions, including Iran. This means that, even if a payment is made via a third-party money exchange service (sarrafi/exchange office) or from a different account, G Adventures would still not be able to confirm a booking for an Iranian national. All bookings must comply with both their sanctions obligations and traveller eligibility checks, regardless of the payment method. For reference, the standard payment options that are usually available with many operators on TourRadar include: Major international credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), International bank transfer, Other regionally supported online payment methods, where applicable. However, all of these remain subject to the operator's sanctions compliance.
