Experiences Money Can’t Buy: G Adventures Unveils National Geographic Signature Tours

Luxury doesn’t always mean high thread counts and personal butlers to travellers; for some it means experiencing the most unique adventures that money can’t buy – such is the case with National Geographic Signature with G Adventures. 

G has unveiled the 32 trips across 28 destinations, including an itinerary in its brand-new destination, Palau.  From 12-day immersions in Peru to 19-day journeys through the “Five Stans,” this collection provides advisors with a high-yield, reputable product for the most discerning, culturally curious clients.

In a press release, G says the Exclusive “Signature Moments” are the ultimate selling points – think private sunset dinners on the Great Wall of China, after-hours access to the Guri Emir in Uzbekistan, and restricted-access visits to antiquities centers in Cambodia.

Other highlights are mixing best-in-region stays like safari camps and vineyards with Nat Geo’s signature style of science and exploration and that every trip has both an Expedition Leader and a National Geographic Expert (archaeologists, photographers, etc.), providing a level of intellectual depth that standard tours can’t match. There is of course always a community commitment to every G tourism project and every purchase supports the National Geographic Society.
