What are the tipping guidelines for this trip? It is customary in Latin America to tip service providers such as waiters, at approximately 10%, depending on the service. Tipping is an expected - though not compulsory - component of your tour program and an expression of satisfaction with the persons who have assisted you on your tour. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides or drivers we use. Recommendations for tipping drivers and local guides would range from $5-10 USD per day depending on the quality and length of the service; ask your CEO for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture.

Also at the end of each trip if you felt your G Adventures Chief Experience Officer (CEO) did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline $20-25 USD per person, per week can be used.

What should I consider when planning my personal expenses and discretionary spending for this itinerary? Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.

What are the meals like on this trip? Eating is a big part of traveling. G Adventures understands the importance of breakfast to start your day, we strive to include a basic breakfast wherever possible. This will typically include toast, coffee and tea, however this may vary depending on the city. Should breakfast not be included, your CEO can suggest some local options.

Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip. For all trips please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.

Is there an extra cost for travelling solo? We believe single travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and single travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
If I choose to purchase My Own Room, are there any exceptions during the trip? Please note that if you have booked the "My Own Room" option for this tour, you will receive your own single room for all night stops

This tour delivered exactly the South America experience I was hoping for. Buenos Aires was full of life and culture, and Iguassu Falls was even more impressive than photos suggest. Paraty added wonderful historic charm to the trip. Everything ran on time and the overall organization was excellent.

Every destination on this tour had something special to offer. I loved exploring Buenos Aires and learning about the local culture before heading to the dramatic scenery of Iguassu Falls. Ilha Grande was peaceful and scenic, perfect for slowing down a bit. Rio de Janeiro brought great energy to the end of the trip. Booking and pre-trip communication were also very easy.

An excellent multi-country tour that packs a lot into nine days without feeling rushed. Standing at Iguassu Falls was an unforgettable moment — the roar of the water is something you have to hear in person. Ilha Grande provided a beautiful and relaxing break surrounded by nature. Ending the trip in Rio with a caipirinha by the beach was the perfect finale.

A memorable and well-structured itinerary across two amazing countries. The combination of powerful natural scenery at Iguassu and the vibrant beach culture in Rio worked perfectly. I especially enjoyed strolling through Paraty in the evening when the streets were beautifully lit. The booking process was smooth and the trip felt great value for money.

The pacing of this trip was spot on — busy enough to see a lot but still enjoyable. Iguassu Falls was absolutely the highlight and worth the journey alone. I also loved the relaxing time on Ilha Grande surrounded by beautiful coastal scenery. Customer service before departure was responsive and helpful.
