Experience Overview
Thought Mediterranean Europe was out of your reach? Think again. Take two weeks to voyage through Italy, France, Monaco, Spain, and Portugal, hitting up tons of major highlights (the French Riviera, Rome, Cinque Terre, Lisbon, and Madrid among them) for way less than you’d think — meaning more cash to spend on delicious tapas and dancing at nightclubs. And if you’re all worn out from the party scene, recharge your batteries on exotic beaches and get a taste of Europe’s high culture and slow-paced life.
Highlights
- Relax on the beaches of Nice
- Enjoy the nightlife of Barcelona
- Listen to traditional Fado music in Lisbon
- Dine on delicious tapas in Madrid

Itinerary
Day 1: Rome
Arrive at any time.
“On an evening in Roma…” Venture out to a bar or pub with your CEO and fellow travellers for drinks and conversation. As you explore the winding cobblestone streets and sidewalks of The Eternal City, prepare for the endless excitement about to unfold on the rest of your journey.
We highly recommend arriving a day or two earlier to experience all that this amazing city has to offer.
Day 2: Rome/Rapallo
Stop at Pisa to check out the Leaning Tower en route to the beautiful Italian Riviera.
Day 3: Rapallo
Walk the coastal path between Riomaggiore and Monterosso or opt to take the train. Visit charming, colourful towns along the way with an included national park pass and unlimited train ticket.
Day 4: Rapallo/Nice
Continue to the French Riviera and enjoy a free afternoon in Nice. Opt to go for a hike along the coast, or take a day trip to nearby beaches and villages.
Day 5: Monaco Day Trip
Take a day trip by train to nearby Monaco. Get your bearings with your CEO and set off on foot to explore the world's second-smallest country (only the Vatican is smaller). What it may lack in size it more than makes up for in style.
Day 6: Nice/Barcelona
Hop on a flight toward Barcelona. Join your CEO on an orientation walk of your surroundings before participating in a G Adventures supported tapas cooking class served and prepared by migrant students. Afterward, break off on your own to explore this amazing city. Enjoy a Big Night Out on the town.
Visit the old Gothic Quarter with its maze of dark streets, historic cathedral, medieval buildings, bars, and cafés. Stroll Las Ramblas, a large tree-lined pedestrian boulevard perfect for people watching and window shopping.
Day 7: Barcelona
Get out and explore all that Barcelona has to offer, or choose to journey further afield to the surrounding beaches and countryside to get a true taste of Catalan life.
Day 8: Barcelona/Madrid
Enjoy an orientation walk along Las Ramblas. Take some time to visit the Gaudí buildings, or explore the Gothic Quarter before boarding an afternoon train to Madrid.
Day 9: Madrid
Enjoy Spain's beautiful capital on an orientation walk. Free time to visit its many sites, from art museums to sprawling squares. Enjoy a night out with the group. Madrid's nightlife is world renowned!
Day 10: Madrid/Granada
Full day of free time before transferring to Granada in the afternoon.
Day 11: Granada
Enjoy an orientation walk in Granada. Opt to visit the Alhambra or relax in one of the many hammam baths around town. Enjoy a tapas bar crawl with the group in the evening. First drink's on us.
A trip to Granada wouldn't be the same without a night on the town; the city is filled with trendy tapas bars and has a lively music scene.
Day 12: Granada/Seville
Journey to Seville and explore this thriving university town. Opt to visit the Real Alcázar, a Moorish palace, or take in an evening flamenco show.
Day 13: Seville/Lagos
Cross into Portugal, and enjoy the Algarve Coast.
Day 14: Lagos
Spend the day on the Algarve with free time for hiking, water activities, or chilling out oceanside.
Day 15: Lagos/Lisbon
Take a train up the coast to Portugal's vibrant capital, and enjoy an orientation walk. Free time to visit Cristo Rei for sweeping views of the area, check out the monuments of the Belem neighbourhood, or relax in a café. Indulge in the town's great nightlife.

Depart at any time.
We highly recommend extending your stay to experience all that this vibrant city has to offer.

It's similar to other travel companies and I like the idea of organized group travel.

Joelle T - Traveled, August 2023
I would recommend this company because it takes a lot of the stress out of travel. You can simply focus on what you want to do in each place without the stress of picking where to stay or figuring out transportation. Also it allows solo travellers the opportunity to make friends and participate in activities with others while also allowing them to go off and do their own thing if they wish.

I overall had a great experience throughout my trip. My CEO was very patient and personable, she provided great pointers for local activities and dining for every stop of the way, making it much easier for me to actually enjoy my trip without having to spend too much time researching while on the go. The members making up the tour group itself were all very kind and fun-loving as well.

Loved the CEO, and that everything was planned. Enjoyed the itinerary as well. Would give higher score if there was better communication before trip

I think the formula of G Adventures is the perfect balance between the security/social experience of a group and the freedom of doing the activities you want.

The transports are not the best and there is not a lot of included activities. The hostels were sometimes in weird locations.

Overall had a fantastic experience with G Adventures. Seeing lots of different places was a great way to travel and I found G Adventures overall to be organised, efficient and communicated clearly. The 18 to 30 somethings option is a really good way of travelling with people in a similar age group and sharing experiences. One or two minor points - a couple of the hostels weren't as good as the rest and some improvementd could be made to the trip structure (will detail in subsequent questions) but overall a great experience and would definitely recommend.

The choices of hostel is subpar.no elevator too small. Not worth what i paid for. The transfer to and from the hostel is often chaotic either by walking or public transportation, with a suitcase it is physically demanding. I paid taxis and ubers personally because i can't deal with it. No communication on what is the exact itinerary is so i can't plan ahead about the attractions to see. I missed out on a lot of attractions because tickets are sold out. CEO can't share info about the historical places because they are not technically tourist guides. The actual redeeming positive thing about this trip are the CEOs who tried their best to give a wonderful experience despite the poor structure of the trip. In conclusion, i could have done this trip on my own with far more better outcome. Other guests with me on trip, share the same sentiment.

G Adventures provide good quality holidays, I like the ethical principles of the company and that it connects you with like minded travellers in the same age group with similar interests. They offer a range of travel experience options to suit different holiday options. However I normally book an organised group tour to minimise the stress and organisation so that you can relax and enjoy the holiday more and there were a few areas that were poorly planned and could be improved upon.
