G Adventures –
Founded in 1990, G Adventures is one of the largest small group adventure travel companies in the world. Based in Toronto, Canada with offices throughout the world and a staff of over 1,350, this award-winning travel company specializes in affordable small-group tours (12-16 travelers), safaris, and expeditions all over the globe.
Their innovative approach allows travelers to choose from eight different travel styles, including Classic, National Geographic Journeys, Active, Yolo (for ages 18-39), Family, Marine, Local Living and Rail. They also offer private tours. Classic tours deliver a good balance of must-see highlights, cultural exchange, insider access, unbeatable value, and time for spontaneous moments.
Their National Geographic Journeys take you deeper into the cultures and habitats of each destination, offering more inclusions, greater hands-on exploration, interactions with local experts, and the freedom to roam. Their Active tours include Hiking tours, Cycling tours and Multisport tours. Whether you prefer leisurely bike rides through remote villages, a trek to the top of Kilimanjaro, or physical pursuits like rock-climbing, zip-lining, or dogsledding, Active tours deliver as much or as little action as you need.
Rail tours are built around the iconic railways of yore, like Switzerland’s Glacier Express, India’s Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, and the sprawling Trans-Siberian. Rail tours combine the must-see highlights, insider access, freeform exploration, and one-of-a-kind encounters with local people and culture you’d expect from small-group adventures with the ease and efficiency of the train travel.
Local Living tours allow guests to unpack once at a central home base – a Tuscan farmhouse, an Icelandic home, a rustic lodge in the Amazon jungle – and discover how the locals live with the help of a connected guide who knows the area best. Their Marine tours include small ship expeditions to the poles, the Galapagos Islands, and river cruises to the down the Amazon, and other amazing places.
