Definitely book with Carly
Reviewed By Alice - UK | Traveled to Jordan ~ Middle East
I have travelled with G Adventures a few times before and their customer service has always been great. However, Carly added that extra personal touch. She was available to answer all of my questions whenever i had them and kept me updated on any questions outstanding that were waiting on a G Adventures to answer. This totally kept my mind at ease as i didn’t need to keep on top of anything or chase anybody for answers.
Carly arranged my airport transfers, extra hotel nights, and excursions and this all went smoothly. She sent me all of the vouchers/confirmations that I needed and reminded me of anything I was missing.
The added bonus of booking through Carly is also that she has travelled to so many countries and has a lot of valuable travel experience. This meant that any questions I had whether it was regarding appropriate clothes, packing, the weather, cash vs card/ ATM access, local sim card etc, it was all answered from personal experience which is invaluable!

Amazing Experience
Reviewed By Lindsay - US | Traveled to Peru ~ South America
Carly helped me originally book a trip to South America. However, due to the civil unrest in Peru my trip had to be canceled last minute. Carly was extremely helpful in changing my trip so that I could still go somewhere else without feeling like I missed out on a vacation. Within a few days I was already booked and ready to go to Costa Rica. It was truly an amazing experience and I can’t think Carly enough for all that she’s done for me!

I have always planned and booked my own vacations: Iceland, Egypt, Spain, Italy, Peru....But I doubt I will again. Carly made everything so easy and stress free! The tour with G Adventures was amazing, but Carly was also booked my hotels for extra time before and after the tour began. This was one of the best vacations ever partially because I didn't have to sweat the details! Thank you Carly!

Thoughtful, attentive, and detailed service
Reviewed By Emily - Atlanta | Traveled to Niagara Falls ~ New York ~ USA
Carly has helped us book day tours on trips we already had planned, has helped us book group tours, and helped me find a tour friendly as a solo female traveler.
Each time – her attention to detail, access to “off the beaten path” opportunities – and passion for what she does shows through. The packet received for my Egypt trip was color-coded, and really laid everything out so connections, airport transfers, and key contact details were all clear and taken care of. Traveling is stressful – so being able to just GO! And not stress the details was a lifesaver.

Trip Cancellation-Great Service & Response tim
Reviewed By Velma - China | Traveled to India ~ Central Asia
Due to a family situation I had to cancel my trip to India. Carly was so kind, responsive, and professional. It’s easy to give a nice review when all goes well but the true testament to an agent is when it all goes south. It was so helpful to have her take care of the cancellation process while I was managing a family crisis. I will absolutely work with her again when the world opens back up.

You need a trip advisor!
Reviewed By Kim - CA | Traveled to Africa
I worked with Carly while booking my trip to 5 different countries in Africa. I am so glad I decided to! At first I thought why do I need her its not like I am organizing the trip all by myself- I was using a company. But I was wrong. There was still a lot of deadlines and small details that needed to be addressed like which countries required visas ahead of time, what vaccines were required etc.
She kept everything super organized which led to much less stress on my part. She even gave me this super organized folder that included extra copies of the itinerary, my flights and packing lists that I know keep as a remembrance of the amazing trip I took. I highly recommend Carly!

Amazing trip!
Reviewed By Dee - Columbus, OH | Traveled to Vietnam | East and Southeast Asia
Carly helped us arrange our trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. She did an amazing job of setting up
our trip and with making our arrangements with UniWorld. The trip itself was amazing! Uniworld thought of everything! The boat was beautiful and very clean. The staff was so nice: they knew everyone’s name by the end of the first day, and was always on hand to make sure we were able to get whatever we needed. The traveling was very comfortable. They put 2 people in a tuktuk when they could have easily put 4 people in one. They divided our group of 60 into 3 groups of 20, making it very comfortable when we traveled by bus as the buses could each have accommodated probably 40 passengers each, but with only 20 passengers there was plenty of room to spread out. This also made it easier for us to get to know our group of 20, and then later getting to know the rest of our group. We had a lot of fun excursions and some educational ones, too. It was one of our favorite trips! Thanks, Carly!

I found Carly’s email through her blog and started the conversation about Antarctica.
She gave me a comprehensive comparison list of operators . Finally narrowing it down to two operators depending upon my budget and timeline.

Incredible Travel Agent for an Incredible Trip
Reviewed By LBInCLT - Matthews, NC | Traveled to Antarctica
When my husband and I decided to go to Antarctica for our honeymoon, we were very overwhelmed until we found Carly. I randomly found her contact information in an Antarctica group on Facebook and knew right away that she was the perfect planner for us. We had a video call with her in the early stages and she was able to answer every single one of our questions, even down to parka colors per cruise line. Carly was always very professional and prompt, and we became friends through the process. In the beginning, we had a snag in our plans because the cruise we originally chose became a charter cruise, but Carly fought on our behalf to make sure we were able to get the best deal. Carly is very detailed oriented, comes with super fun recommendations, and is very approachable and knowledgeable. When you think of a travel agent, you think of Carly. I can’t recommend Carly enough. She truly will go above and beyond to make sure that your travel experience is everything you want it to be and more. We will definitely be recommending Carly to others and using her in the future.

Carly Heyward was outstanding from start to finish in helping me book my G Adventures tour of Ireland. She made the entire process simple and stress free. From the start, she provided clear guidance on how to secure the proper travel documents and insurance, answering every question quickly and thoroughly.

Trip of a lifetime to Antarctica!
Reviewed By MRL2024 - Alexandria, VA | Traveled to Antarctica
Carly helped us plan our bucket list trip to Antarctica. She was fantastic throughout the entire process, from helping us decide on a cruise company to the final details. We knew Carly was on top of things, but after speaking with some of the other cruise passengers and hearing some not so great stories about their travel agents, we realized how lucky we got in finding Carly. I found Carly through a Facebook group on Atlas cruises and was a little hesitant to go with someone I didn't know much about, but she quickly put us at ease and gained our trust. Everything went perfectly and she had great communication with Atlas. Even though we didn't run into any hiccups, I'm confident she would have immediately been there for us should we have needed her help.

Top personal service
Reviewed By Ben - Reading, UK | Traveled to Antarctica ~ Antarctica
In a world where it's so easy to not speak to any kind of agent, Carly offers a personal service which reminds you why it's needed. On my trip to Antarctica I had a few bumps in the road which Carly managed for me - without prompt. She values the personal relationship in a way that gets lost when you use an automated booking system. I can't recommend her enough.

Iceland and Ireland Mother/Daughter Trip
Reviewed By Emily - Raleigh, NC | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
Carly saved my trip! I had planned a 14-day trip to Iceland and Ireland a year in advance and 6 weeks prior to leaving, the tour company cancelled everything- hotels, tours, transportation! I was given Carly’s information by a friend, and she saved us! She got us into similar tours and got us hotels and transportation and even found a way to include Northern Ireland! I could not be more pleased with our trip! We were able to see everything we had on our list and then some! Carly is an absolute gem- so easy to work with and so helpful every step of the way.

Liberated Me From A Living Nightmare
Reviewed By Steph - Las Vegas, NV | Traveled to Armenia ~ Russia & Northwest Asia
I decided to book Armenia and Georgia as a last minute addition to my European summer travel plan, and Carly happily assisted me with the booking. When I arrived in Paris en route to Yerevan, the horror that is the Charles de Gaulle airport began. I missed my connecting flight due to the transit process. After standing in line to rebook with Air France for over an hour, AF (Air France) provided a flight but gave me 15 minutes to run from terminal 3 to terminal 1. Suffice to say, I missed that flight too. I felt like Viktor Navorski from The Terminal. I had no luggage. I had no flight.
I contacted Carly with the hope that she could relieve me of the nightmare I was experiencing. Not only did she rebook my flight, but she contacted every airline I used trying to locate my bag. I safely landed in Yerevan with my luggage thanks to her assistance. She went the extra mile for a client, and I am truly grateful for her patience and dedication. Many thanks.

Well Taken Care of on our Trip of a Lifetime
Reviewed By Chris J - FL | Traveled to Antarctica
Planning a trip like this takes a lot of time and effort. Carly started by making a Zoom presentation to my two traveling companions and I on the various options for Antarctic tours. After understanding what we were looking for, Carly encouraged us to use Quark. What a recommendation!! All aspects of the Quark crew were top notch, from the tour guides to the dining room / kitchen staff to navigation to housekeeping.
It was almost a year between the time we committed to the trip and actually left for it. During that time, Carly was very responsive to questions we had while preparing. Even after the trip, she continues to take care of us, helping me get a refund for one of the services I paid for but didn’t use. I give Carly my top recommendation.

I happened to meet Carly in a women’s travel Facebook group when I started asking questions about the best photography equipment if I was to go to Antarctica one day… SO GLAD I MET HER! After considering companies online on my own, we turned to Carly to help suggest a trip that would best fit our desires and budget. We were two women in our late twenties and my best friend’s father in his 60s. With Carly’s help, we secured the perfect trip and found reasonable discounts that worked for us.
After securing our trip, Carly was an amazing resource to us as we prepared and packed. I even got a hold of her via Facebook messenger while in Ushuaia when we had an issue with our cab plans. I trust her completely and would happily book with her again and again.
