| Description: | In 1990 Bruce Poon Tip launched G.A.P Adventures with the belief that other travelers would share his desire to experience authentic adventures in the real world. They have since grown from a one-man show to a company of over 300, and from a handful of trips in Latin America to hundreds of adventures on all 7 continents. Over 40,000 travellers experience the world with G.A.P Adventures every year! What hasn't changed is their passion for making sure you get behind the scenes to experience the real world in an authentic and sustainable manner. |

Am a seasoned traveller having spent 3 yrs backpacking in Europe & Asia but travelled w/ Gap twice as I now have limited time. Had a great time in Antarctica - staff was professional and went beyond the call of duty in taking care of us. However, was extremely disappointed in Mali - our lead guide couldn't be bothered and often disappeared in the evenings; most of the time was spent traveling from one destination to another instead of actually seeing a place... Thankfully we had good drivers. I guess it depends on who Gap subcontracts out to. Friends who have gone with both Gap and Intrepid say they much prefer the latter – better bang for the buck. Even though they seem cheaper, unexpected payments on the Mali trip added up so you ended up paying more without the added experiences, benefits etc.

To anyone who is thinking on doing a trip with Gap Adventures: In general they are a good company but just please make sure you are booked on a guaranteed departure trip if not they can truly ruin your trip like they did to me. They canceled my trip on my just a month before and I already have my airline tickets and other plans booked. Now I am loosing money and they are not giving me a full refund so please just beware.....
