    Our guide, Ingrid, was fantastic. Kind, helpful, attentive to each person’s specific needs. She made sure everyone was included at all times, even the quiet people. The tour itself was excellent. We were able to tailor it to our specific needs. We saw 11 archeological sites whereas other people took in all the water activities. We would have liked a better estimate of food prices as we ended up spending vastly more than budgeted. Probably an average of $60 CAD per person each day. Still highly recommend.

    A non stop exciting adventure. The countries we visited were beautiful. Lots of opportunity to get close to the history and culture of the places we visited. Snorkelling in Belize was unbelievable and the highlight of the whole trip for me.

    Overall it was excellent and the CEO for the G Adventures is the reason I am happy because he went beyond to assist us and made this trip a memorable one. I am not very satisfied and very frustrated with G Adventures. Two days before my flight to Cancun, I message G Adventures about the transfer and even provided the flight info only to find out no transfer arrived and we have to pay 1500 pesos for the taxis. NO ONE from G Adventures acknowledged my message to them. Zero. Nada. Also, G Adventures failed to email me the documents prior the trip and basically I relied the itinerary based on the Tour Radar brochures. We went to Hotel Flores and found out that are name is not on the list. We don't have any contact # for G Adventures to confirm and lucky for us, we were able to find a number for Tour Radar and the rep was very helpful and very patient (too bad, I forgot her name...We were so exhausted and very upset). She asked us if we received documents from G Adventures like hotels info, itinerary etc. and I confirmed to her, No, I didn't. The Tour Radar rep was able to retrieved the hotel information for us and took another taxi to get there. It was a gruesome, tedious and wasted 2 hours dealing with this crap cause by G Adventures, where we should be relaxing and enjoying our first dinner in Cancun and it cost us additional expenses by paying the taxi from the airport! But I am happy with Tour Radar team because they did a remarkable job. Excellent job!

    Hello, It was my first time booking with G Adventure via Tourradar as it was recommended by my friend Lilibeth Villamayor. As a new client, I tried to follow every step of my booking, including the "Good To Go" for my pre-departure. I emailed G Adventure regarding my information. And constantly following up to receive confirmation from your end that you have reviewed the document I submitted – If I have properly filled the form with all the details required which includes pickup service from airport to hotel. However, i did not receive any response from both G Adventure nor from your end TourRadar. On September 29, 2022, two days before my departure for Mexico, I emailed G Adventure via TourRadar reminding the company of the transfer pickup. But I have not received any response from your end nor from G Adventure. However, upon arriving in Mexico on Oct. 1, 2022, I received an email from G Adventure stating that I didn't book a transfer and asked me to make my own way to the start of the tour! Me and my friend Lilibeth Villamayor ended up paying our own trip from the airport to the hotel for 1500 pesos. This should have been resolved IF only both you TourRadar and G Adventure responded earlier – prior to my departure to Mexico because I’ve been reiterating this matter from the first day of my booking. I was constantly emailing both your company with any information needed before my trip. And if there are anomalies and discrepancies in the form I submitted and/or if I missed any requirements including transfer pickup – which was important. Shouldn't the company have also checked my document to make sure it reflects the messages I sent them? I don't think so. Because if you did, i will not be writing you on this issue. Obviously, you haven’t even bother to check the content of my emails. I’m also with customer service helpdesk. And for me, I have to review the details of our clients document to compare with their email request. This way, if the client missed any information required on the document, I respond ASAP to ensure the client receives the proper service. With the exception of CEO Guy Delorme who is engaging/enthusiastic, efficient and dependable with great sense of humor – par excellence, I must say that I am very disappointed with your company. Enough to doubt if you even give a concern regarding this email review.

    Even though this tour major activities are water-based and I am not a swimmer I enjoyed the tour very much.The locations were superb ensuring those who can`t take part in some of the activities for one reason or the other could do other things. The hotels were good too, may be in some cases the room were a bit small, but their location were good with easy access to shops etc. The guide was excellent - a people`s person who is passionate about the region, the people and their culture. She was tech-savvy and managed our movement remote and got her group to communicate and share information and photos.
