Are there any family-friendly tours available?

Yes, we offer Family Trips and National Geographic Family Journeys that are specifically designed to cater to families with children, ensuring an experience enjoyable for all ages.

How can older travelers find suitable adventure tours?

Older travelers looking for adventure tours suitable for their age can explore our Classic Travel Styles, which are without age restrictions and offer diverse travel experiences akin to our age-specific tours.

Is it necessary to book a tour well in advance?

We advise booking as early as possible to ensure availability, especially since our tours can fill up quickly due to their popularity and limited spots.

What happens if I have other questions during the booking process?

You can reach out to us via the Ask a Question button for any queries you might have during the booking process, or for further information about the tours.

What is the age limit for the 18-to-Thirty Somethings tours?

These tours have an upper age limit of 39 years to foster interpersonal connections among travelers of similar ages. Participants must be between 18 and 39 years old at the start of the tour.

What if I need a specific accommodation during the tour?

If you have specific accommodation needs, such as wanting a single room, you can request this during the booking by opting for a Single Supplement, subject to additional charges.

How strict is the age policy for your tours?

The age policy is strictly enforced to maintain the travel style and experience promised to all participants. It is important for meeting the expectations and providing the ideal experience for the target demographic.

Why the trip is limited at people 39 years old? Have 52 and I'm ok. I can make long treck.

At G Adventures we pride ourselves finding the right trip for the right person. The '18-30 Somethings' trips are multi share or very basic accommodation such as camping or hostels. The itineraries are fast paced, have less included activities and instead focus more on socialising aspect of travel. We must enforce this age limit in fairness to other travellers who may have specifically chosen this travel style, based on its age demographic.

Why is the age limit to 39??

This is one of our 18-39 trips, which are run especially for that age group. If you are out of that age range, we have other trips that may be suitable for you.

What are the time restrictions for flights when booking your tours?

When booking flights, please ensure your arrival is scheduled any time before the tour starts, and for departures, book any flight time after 16:00 on the final day of the tour. This is to accommodate transportation times to and from the airport and necessary check-in procedures.
