    Asked on August 5th, 2025

    Could two fit 70 and 59 year old qualify?

    Age Range
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten August 2025

      This tour is a part of our 18-30somethings travel style, which is only available for travellers between the ages of 18 - 39 to book onto. Our other travel styles, such as Classic, Active, National Geographic Journeys, etc., do not have any age restrictions.

  • S

    Sally

    Asked on June 11th, 2025

    Was wondering since usually people join and leave throughout the tour if there is like a 2-3 week part of the tour my friend could book onto as he can't get the 65 days off for the full tour.

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten June 2025

      The 65-day Great South America Journey is indeed divided into shorter tour segments, that can be booked as a stand alone tour as well.

      Sally

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      If the one I book goes on sale, am I able to switch to that price. Or once you've booked you're looked in at said price?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten June 2025

      Discounts are only honoured if the booking is confirmed during the period the trip is promotion. A benefit to booking early is to not only guarantee your spot on the tour, but to also allow you to look into the best flight options available. With any of our tours, we will simply honour the price in which you booked. This not only applies to the tour price decreasing but increasing as well. It is our policy that once the booking has been confirmed, we are unable to add any future promotional codes.

    Lynda

    Asked on July 27th, 2024

    Why is there an age limit of 39? I am 71, my wife is 67 and we are both active and enjoy good health. We are seasoned travelers (almost 100 countries) and are aware of the rigors of the road.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten July 2024

      Some of our trips are designed exclusively for 18-39 year olds, but we do have our classic and national geographic journeys that are open aged.

  • R

    Raymond

    Asked on May 19th, 2024

    Is it possible to add/remove certain things from some of the existing trips? And if we alter the existing trips, remove/add, would the cost change as well?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten May 2024

      Adding or removing anything on a tour IS customizing it, which would automatically make it a private tour. You would need to pay a minimum of 8-10 travellers per person rate in order to make it private, and you'd still be staying in multi-share hostels so this really is not a feasible option.
