Hendri is the best guide

I did the 5 week Bangkok to Gili T and I had Hendri as my tour guide and I must say he was absolutely OUTSTANDING. He was such a funny character and also such a shoulder to lean on - especially when it was me and 4 guys in a group :( He really listened and gave us advice on all sorts of things including culture, food, and activities. He is genuinely one of the loveliest people I have ever met and if you have a chance to visit his hometown in Indonesia - do it! It’s so worth it. I really hope he’s my tour guide for a future trip because he not only loves his job but he loves the people along the way ❤️

Brilliant

Brilliant - couldn’t fault anything !!!

Customer services helped out independent travel agent massively when we had to do some changes to the team. Livvy at The Adventure People was amazing!!

The tour itself was brilliant - the guide was so knowledgeable and fun, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide!!!

There is nothing I would have changed about the whole adventure and can’t wait to book the next one!

Very disappointing experience would not recommend

This was honestly one of the worst travel experiences I’ve had, and I would not recommend this tour to anyone.

I paid an extra £700 overall, including £60 for a private room on the first night, yet I was placed in a shared room without being told in advance. I specifically paid for privacy, so this was unacceptable. Someone turned up into my room at 01.30am and woke me up.

The trip was overfilled and poorly organised. There was no real group atmosphere at all, it felt less like a tour and more like being shuttled around on a bus from place to place. I booked this trip to meet new people, but I was advised it would be for people in their 40s. In reality, almost everyone was retired and no younger than 70, which made the experience feel completely mis-sold. It honestly felt like an old people’s week trip, not what was advertised.

The hotel on the first night was in very poor condition, especially considering the extra money paid. On top of that, we had to pay for transportation for multiple trips, which should have been included.

Only one trip was included, and even that was badly handled. There was a mix-up with dates the tour guide said the trip was on Friday, while the itinerary said Thursday. Because of this confusion, we missed the trip entirely.

Even worse, a night walk went ahead without us, despite the tour guide knowing we were eating our evening meal. As a result, we missed the Friday night walk, which is completely unacceptable. During the day, we then had to pay £40 ourselves for a walk in the cloud forest. The bus waited for everyone else, but the walk itself was rushed and we saw very little — overall, not worth the money at all.

This trip was not good enough, poorly organised, misleading in its marketing, and absolutely not worth the extra costs. It was a waste of money, and I left feeling frustrated and disappointed.

Worst experience of my life. I would never book this tour again.

Reply from The Adventure People

Dear Leah, this is Chris here, the CEO. I am sorry you did not book during the sale period and you feel like you paid more than you should. We can only honour the sale prices in the sale period as I am sure you understand.

I will take up the in destination issues with the local operator and thank you for highlighting these.

Had a great time in Sri Lanka

Had a great time in Sri Lanka. Our tour guide Don was lovely, we also had a mini bus driver and assistant who came with us for the whole trip. The accommodation was mixed in quality, however for the price it was as expected. Each hotel had a lovely pool, however the first hotel was a bit disappointing. A lot of the hotels are remote and it can be difficult to eat out , the hotel restaurants were generally good and not very expensive. I think the physical rating stated is a bit low, I think it’s at least a 3. There were quite a lot of steep uneven walks and can be hard in the heat. I would recommend good trainers and sports wear as you will be very sweaty.
It was quite a full on tour and didn’t get much chance of any free time, although we did do a lot in the time frame. The safari was brilliant, some of the group went on a safari in Dambulla, they said that the one included was much better and less stressful for the animals.
The Itinerary mentioned you need an overnight bag for the safari, this wasn’t the case, as the mini bus brought our bags with us.
Overall this was a great tour and would recommend.

I did the Everest Base Camp trek in December

I did the Everest Base Camp trek in December and it was amazing. The Adventure People made it easy to book and provided advice on kit and also booked my flights and additional nights accommodation. I was met by my guide Raj, who was experienced and made the trek a safe and fulfilling experience. The tour company in Nepal was Icicles Adventure Treks and Tours and nothing was too much trouble with organising additional activities around Kathmandu. Our porters, Brabin and Gopal were also amazing, we all felt very looked after. Thank you!

Incredible experience!

Incredible experience with incredible guides! Even as a biologist I was learning new things and discovering new creatures. Very organised and well planned out even in the event of minor disturbances to flights etc.
It would be worthy to add stricter health regulations for travelers who fall ill before departure, as one group member managed to make everyone else sick.

Annapurna Basecamp - Jan 26

We completed Annapurna Basecamp with The Adventure People and their partners in Nepal, Icicles Adventure Treks.

We had a fantastic time. The Adventure People were brilliant at responding to questions and helping out where possible via email before the trip and before booking the trip. Icicles Adventure Treks in Nepal were also brilliant - the trek was well organised with great and knowledgable company to go along with that. Prakash and Susa were a great guide and porter and we are already planning our next trip to Nepal.

Last-minute help that made all the difference

The Adventure People truly saved my holiday in India. I made a very last-minute booking and they got back to me incredibly quickly to let me know the tour was actually closed. They offered me the same tour starting the following day, but after chatting it through we realised it wouldn’t work with my flight arrangements, only the original tour would.

They didn’t give up. They contacted the tour operator directly and somehow managed to secure me a spot on the original tour. Waiting for confirmation was stressful, but when it came through it honestly felt like a Christmas miracle.

The team was extremely responsive via both email and chat, and the staff were great communicators, patient, understanding, and genuinely supportive of my situation. I can’t thank them enough.

The tour was fabulous!

12/10 experience

The Kilimanjaro trip was an amazing experience and very well organized from start to finish. The whole team was incredibly kind and supportive. Innocent was an excellent guide – professional, calm, and always looking out for everyone. I felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone considering Kilimanjaro.

Vietnam - Great trip for solo travellers.

I had a fantastic holiday in Vietnam. I did the 10 day trip from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City with Nak. Such a great travel family. Our guide (his name is Nak) made everyone very relaxed & comfortable with eachother. It
truly was an amazing trip for me, I was nervous about going on my own & feel very lucky to have been put with a group of fabulous people & Nak for leading us & making the trip so much fun.
Nak was particularly kind to me when I was accessing boats, trains, stairs etc. He could see I was nervous on steps & was always there to assist me without making it obvious!
Nak was available for any of our queries.
He really made my trip around Vietnam very special. I have recommended G Adventure's holidays to lots of my friends already.
