  I have provided the same feedback directly to G Adventure last year right after the trip and did not hear back from them at all. Overall, this has been the worst tour I have ever been on, and many others in the group shared this sentiment. This was largely due to the tour leader Rosanna for the Spain and Portugal portion, who was the poorest I have ever experienced and has made me hesitant to choose G Adventures for future trips. I paid for single supplements, which entitle me to a private room for the entire trip. This was confirmed by G at the time of booking. However, on my first night in Madrid, I was placed in shared accommodation with another traveller. I immediately raised this with the tour leader and showed her written confirmation that my booking included private accommodation. She informed me that her records indicated a shared room and advised me to contact the travel agent. I contacted G straight away via Tourradar, where I originally booked the tour. The G operator acknowledged the mistake and said they would notify the local offices. I relayed this information to the tour leader, who then asked for the name of the G operator I had been communicating with. I had to go back and forth between the tour leader and the G operator to ensure my private room was honoured for the remainder of the European portion of the trip. However, upon arriving in Morocco, I was again placed in shared accommodation on the first night. The tour guide had to give me his own room for the night and arrange a room for me at a different hotel. He informed me that all records on their end also showed that I was not booked for private rooms for the rest of the trip. He then had to contact the back office to secure separate accommodation for me for the remaining nights in Morocco. The tour leader for the Spain and Portugal segment was consistently abrupt, impatient, and difficult to approach. She became visibly irritated whenever anyone in the group asked her questions or sought basic guidance, such as locating ATMs or clarifying the itinerary for the following day. She would often ignore questions or tell us she would provide information only when it was convenient for her. There were several instances where she shared important information with only some group members, resulting in others being left unaware. When those individuals later asked for the same information, she reacted with annoyance and impatience. When this communication issue was pointed out to her, she became defensive, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere for the entire group. Her lack of local knowledge also meant we frequently had to rely on Google and our own research to plan activities during free time. Additionally, one of the guests has a dietary restriction and cannot eat potatoes—something clearly noted in the booking. When the guest pointed out that her meal contained potatoes, the tour leader questioned whether she was truly allergic or “just being picky,” which was extremely inappropriate and offensive. Another concern was her unprofessional behaviour. She did not seem to realise that some group members understood Spanish, and she was overheard speaking negatively about the group to the driver in Spanish. This was highly unprofessional and contributed to an unpleasant experience for many of us. Finally, this was a combined tour continuing from Spain into Morocco, yet when we arrived, there was no one there to pick us up. When the Moroccan tour leader eventually arrived—45 minutes late—we learned that she had failed to provide him with the correct pick-up time and location.Show more

  The itinerary would greatly benefit from getting rid of catching public transport in Spain and Portugal and just chartering a bus instead. I mean you do a tour if you're not going to rent a car, so you see the stuff between point A and B. When you use public transport you don't see that stuff. For example in both Spain on the Lisbon free day I did a day trip to Sintra, Cabo da Roca (most western point of mainland Europe), Quinta da Regaleira (really interesting place) and Pena Palace. We could have either done this as part of the G Trip instead of the unnecessary free day (since you could see Lisbon in an hour or two on the day you arrive). Or on the way to or from Lisbon if we were using a charter bus. Likewise out of Seville I did Setenil de las Bodegas, a Spanish town where many houses are built into the cliffs as well as Rosa another interesting town. These could easily have been included on the tour. Where we did stop or spent the nights were some good places But Olhão in Portugal. was a dull and boring place, nothing worth seeing there. Evora, Portugal, bone church not as good as ones in Kutna Hora and other places, and not much there besides that. In Morocco we could have used more time in Tangier. Volubilis, Morocco, a Roman settlement from 3 BC. Very hot there, and well if you've seen one Roman or similar ruins, you've seen them all. Fez some of the stuff on the day tour, why does whoever does the itinerary think anyone would want to go to a Tannery? Or the silk weaving place or the other pointless sales pitch places. I mean the pottery place, severe WH&S issues there, Plus the quality of the pottery was pretty mediocre compared to other pottery places G, Intrepid and other tours I've been on have gone to. The guy running the tour there seemed like a snake oil salesman. You can't really break these plates, then why in the gift shop did heaps of them have chips in them? Casablanca, it would have been nice to go to Rick's Cafe when it was actually open which was at midday so doable if we didn't waste time going to the most dull on the inside mosque ever built. Seriously this could have been any cheap hotel's foyer. Longer in Casablanca overall is definitely needed. So much to see there, that we didn't. The perfume/herbs sales pitch place on the Marrakesh local tour also was very snake oily in nature. CEOs (guides) were good on both continents, Benedetta (Europe) and Karima (Morocco). Both cared about all of us on tour, wanted us to have a great experience and gladly organised stuff or answered questions.Show more

  The whole trip was a great experience. Our tour guide in Spain was the best, Sarah, was always giving us the best tips for a great adventure, excellent recommendations, and always very caring about our group. The group of fellow travelers was wonderful too, we made a great group. Morroco was great, our guides shared with us all their knowledge about that great country! Overall, there was walking involved, but totally doable and worth it!Show more

  Kassidy and I loved the trip. I?d do another g adventures trip in a heartbeat. My big suggestion would be that if a group of people sign up that want a reunion atmosphere I would encourage a private tour.Show more

  In the five G! tours my husband and I have taken (including our honeymoon to Antarctica), this is the best group with whom we have traveled. The twelve us of ranged in age from the late teens to senior citizens and came from all over the world. One of the younger participants summarized it well when she said near the end of the trip that it does not feel that we just met and went to three countries together, because we feel like a family already. This is why my husband and I keep coming back to G! Other programs may offer cheaper ways to travel, or we could spend hours trying to book the activities on our own. However, it is worth every penny to see new sights, make new friends, all the while not having to worry about the stress of not having to buy tickets for the attractions, book the hotels, etc. We already cannot wait to take Adventure #6.Show more
