This is my 3rd trip with G Adventures and I really appreciated how consistently everything is organised, planned and up to the standard as described in the itinerary. As a single travel, I have found it the most effective way to join a sailing tour. Moreover, the CEOs are incredibly knowledgeable and generous with their ideas. I always find myself experiencing the country authentically and through a local lens.

Sail Montenegro was as advertised but felt the Croatian portion was misleading from the company?s description not sure I'd like to put my name behind G to friends and family

Kane P - Traveled, June 2023
The Yacht was great and the CEO was excellent but there was definitely a few details that were different from the brief we received when booking the trip to what was on the trip. Other G Adventures have been great and Montenegro was great just things in The Croatian portion were strategically worded which rubbed the wrong way.

I loved sailing and having a place to leave my things (without having to repack every day). The only factor to consider would be the tight spaces in the rooms (which I didn't mind but some might!)
