Customer reviews & ratings
From start to finish our experience with G Adventures was smooth and hassle-free. Everything was taken care of. Helpful and accessible booking agents and online tools got us started, and our experienced, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable guide led us on an adventure of a lifetime. We found the independent travel options in Peru suited our schedule and the pace was a perfect fit. We highly recommend G Adventures. Easy and trouble free experience. The guide made us feel welcome and excited to show us his country.
Sharon Sep, 2024 VerifiedWenny, my tour guide is very knowledgeable, professional, hit all the high lights, restaurants, had me try new culinary experiences which were amazing. She knew when to rest and perhaps talk a little more about the culture and history when needed. Most of all she is fun! Wenny my tour guide made the experience incredible
