    Alexandra

    Asked on February 12th, 2025

    We're interested in 2 of your tours: Journeys N Thailand Dec 7-14 and S Thailand Dec 14-21. Can I get more info. Do you offer a discount for multiple tours? Can you also quote in Canadian dollars?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2025

      If you are wanting to do both the Northern and Southern Thailand tour, I would recommend booking the longer combination of the two tours the Journeys Iconic Thailand for 15 days, December 7-21. The cost for that departure is CAD $5,249 per person

  • A

    Alan

    Asked on December 22nd, 2023

    Could you please provide me with the name and address of the hotel to check in on December 31st, since I don't qualify for airport pick up I would like to make transportation arrangements.

    Accommodation
    Transport
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2023

      The start hotel is Shanghai Mansion Bangkok, 479-481 Yaowaraj Road, Samphantawong, Bangkok 10100. It appears on your original booking conversation page you have an arrival transfer that day.

  • B

    Beth

    Asked on August 28th, 2023

    Would I be able to include 4 days in Phuket before flying back to Bangkok? If this is the case what would the total cost be for a solo Canadian traveler? If this request becomes a reality I'd be very interested in this package.

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2023

      With regards to your question about adding on extra days in Phuket prior to your flight back to Bangkok, that is sadly something we are not able to assist with as our itineraries are set and not customizable. The only suggestion we can make is to add on Phuket independently either ahead of your tour before it starts or after your tour has ended.

    • B

      Beth

      Traveler•Written August 2023

      So I could add 3 days in Phuket before or after this tour? Would you still be responsible for booking my hotel room for the extra 3 days? Would I be allowed to visit Bangkok for 3 days on my own & at my expense upon the completion of your tour including my extra 3 days in Phuket? If I was to add the 3 Phuket days what would my total cost be?

    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2023

      We can only add on extra night accommodation at the start and end hotel which for this tour is in Bangkok. So we are unable to arrange extra nights in Phuket for you.

    Asked on June 14th, 2023

    Can you add me to the wait list for the departure? I can't do any of the other dates for this trip.

    Tour Details
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2023

      We can add you to the waitlist. Please enter your Full name, Date of Birth & Nationality so we can arrange this for you.

      Traveler•Written June 2023

      Please let me know how many people are on the waitlist and what you think the chances are that two spaces might open up.

    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2023

      You are the only travellers on the waitlist so will be first to know if any spaces become available. As we are quite far from departure there is a better chance a traveller will cancel their space but never any guarantees.

    Asked on November 1st, 2016

    What is the average age of the travellers on these tours? Are there more couples, friends, or singles?

    Age Range
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2016

      G Adventures does not have an upper age restriction for these tours, that means you will get a variety of people of all ages on their tours.

      It depends on the specific tour but G Adventures attracts mainly single travellers with more than half of their travellers going solo.
