Frequently Asked Questions About G Adventures Tours

• What phone number should I contact a support number to book a trip or ask questions?

  Please call AffordableTours.com at 1-800-935-2620 for further trip details or to inquire about trip-planning.

• How long do tours on G Adventures last?

  Tours can last as long as 3 days or up to 32 days. However, most trips are about 15 days long, on average. Because you can choose trips of varying lengths and at specific times, you can find a trip that will meet your preferred vacation timeline.

• Should I purchase travel insurance for a G Adventures tour?

  Things can happen when you're travelling that are out of your control, so travel insurance is an important step in creating peace of mind. Considering the unpredictable nature, remote destinations, and conditions encountered on many G Adventures tours you must have travel medical insurance, and trip cancellation insurance is highly recommended.

• What are Classic Tours?

  The quintessential G Adventures experience, Classic trips deliver the perfect balance of must-see highlights, cultural exchange, insider access, unbeatable value, and the kind of spontaneous, you-really-had-to-be-there moments that make your trip memorable.

• Are most Active Tours physically challenging?

  Active Tours, which usually include cycling, hiking, or kayaking in their itineraries, feature a Physical Rating on the tour page. The rating is usually 4 (challenging) or 5 (demanding). Any Active Tour rated a 3 is considered active but not difficult.

• How do 18-to-30-Something Tours differ in pace from Classic Tours?

  These tours, meant for the younger crowd, visit more places in a specific timeframe and therefore are faster-paced than the regular classic-type tours.

• What types of tours are featured under G Adventures’ Marine Tours?

  This category covers sailing tours, usually in places, such as the Caribbean, Galapagos Island cruises, river cruises, and expedition cruises to Norway, Greenland, the Arctic, and Antarctica.

• What is unique about a Local Living Tour?

  Rather than traveling from one place to another, a Local Living Tour allows travelers to stay in one community during their vacation and live like one of the locals.

• Who is a G Adventures CEO?

  CEO, in this case, stands for Chief Experience Officer. He or she is the designated tour guide for your tour. The CEO is responsible for transportation, on-ground communication, and just about everything else on a tour. While G Adventures tours are run in the English language, the CEO usually can speak a destination's local language.

• Should you tip the CEO?

  Yes, after your tour, be sure to show your thanks and tip the CEO. The gratuity should amount to about $15 to $20 for each day of your trip.

• Do you have a G Adventures app?

  Yes. Download the G Adventures app to your iPhone or Android. The app provides you with detailed tour information, including hotel names and addresses. Give this information to your emergency contact at home.

• What are G Adventures’ Social Enterprise Visits?

  Social Enterprise Visits represent G Adventures' commitment to sustainable and responsible travel around the world. These enterprises, which support local communities, are included in tours hosted by G Adventures. For example, some examples of social enterprises include the women's Weaving Cooperative, located in Peru, or the Aboriginal Training Café in Australia. Many of the enterprises are overseen by G Adventures' non-profit partner, Planeterra.

• What are Travel Days?

  Travel days are included on most trip itineraries. On these days, you will spend most of your time in transport, whether you are traveling by shuttle, bus, boat, or train. Download some music or bring something interesting to read during your journey. Typically, the time spent can last from 5 to 9 hours, so you need to prepare.

• What clothing should I pack?

  G Adventures provides a "Trip Details" document with recommendations on what apparel and items to pack for your tour. The tour operator advises that travelers pack light and only carry what they will need.

• Do tours include airfare?

  Airfare must be added separately. Arrange your flight with your travel representative, as the cost is not included in the tour price.

• How old must you be to travel with G Adventures?

  To travel independently you must be at least 18 years of age. There are no upper age limits for most of the tours (although 18-to-Thirtysomethings tours are restricted exclusively to 18-to-39-year-olds). Family Adventures are open to families with children aged between 6 and 17 years of age. The non-family adventures are open to children aged 12 years or older when accompanied by a parent (max. two children per adult).

• Are single travelers charged a single supplement?

  As a standard rule, no. Most tours do not feature a single supplement. Therefore, if you are traveling solo, you will share a room with another G Adventures traveler of the same sex. However, some trips do feature an optional single supplement, which is called "My Own Room." This service allows a single traveler to request a private room while traveling. The cost of the service varies for each tour.

• Are airport transfers included in the tour cost?

  Airport transfers are included on National Geographic Journeys and Geluxe tours. All other tour transfers are available at an additional cost.

• What type of luggage should I carry?

  G Adventures suggests that you carry a duffle bag or backpack, which is easier to store on buses. Luggage with wheels can be difficult to navigate over rough pavements or cobblestone, so you should avoid using this type of conveyance.

• Are tips included in the tour price?

  No. Tips must be given at your own discretion.

• What is different about G Adventures?

  G Adventures weaves the idea of responsible travel and community tourism into its tour selections and makes it possible for solo travelers, couples, and families to experience a one-of-a-kind travel experience. The tour operator offers a massive selection of tours, all of which are classified under categories, such as "Classic," "Active," "National Geographic Journeys," "Marine," and "18-to-30-Something" and "Roamies".  Groups are far smaller (around 12 people), so you have more of a chance to gain entry to sites that are harder for larger travel groups to access.
