If you’re ready to explore somewhere new, with a ready-made crew - Roamies is for you!
They’re small-group tours filled with adventurous people just like you! Travel to places you’ve only dreamt of exploring while staying in some of the world’s best hostels. Local guides will make sure you’re as immersed in local life as can be, plus you’ll have the flexibility of doing your own thing too. Expect plenty of memorable experiences and we guarantee you won’t return home until you’re full of stories!
On these tours, we travel to the most talked-about places and the lesser-known local spots, with the flexibility to do your own thing. It’s the legit backpacking experience, staying in sociable hostels and getting to the heart of everywhere we travel. Maybe you’re a regular roamer or it could be your step into solo travel (with added new friends).
G Adventures know a thing or two about locally guided small group travel, and we like to think hostelling is in our DNA. So, if you’re curious, friendly and feel like adventure is calling, pick your dream destination and join us.
It’s like travelling with a knowledgeable friend, who happens to be a local expert, and takes care of of the planning, the transport, and the hostels – what a pal!
If staying in hostels is new for you, let us show you how welcoming, sociable, and travel game-changing they can be.
We wish travel was free too! Why can’t everything be free? We’ve kept costs as low as they can go, while paying people fairly. This is a life investment.

Read PostEven if you’ve never stayed in a hostel before, you probably know that hostels are a type of shared accommodation that helps your travel budget go further.
Read PostRoamies is a new style of travel brought to you by Hostelworld + G Adventures. They are immersive small group tours (no more than 24 travellers) for 18 to 35 year olds that explore iconic destinations and stay in some of the world’s best hostels.
Roamies is all about experiences and seeing those bucket-list places and coming home with epic stories with the best people, staying at the best hostels for the best price. These tours mix the freedom of travelling solo with the security of an organized group as you’ll have a dedicated Chief Experience Officer (CEO) with you throughout the tour.
You’ll be exploring with 16-24 other Roamies travellers plus your Chief Experience Officer.
Hostels are the best part of the trip - they’re where you’re going to meet a ton of new friends and hang out throughout. Roamies tours offer mixed gender dorm, female only dorm and twin share upgrade options throughout the tours (with some exceptions).
If you’re wondering ‘why hostels?’, get ready to have your adventurous mind blown. Hostels attract fun-loving travellers from around the world and they’re the most sociable accommodation in existence — that’s a scientific fact. Roamies tours are super flexible, and hostels are ideal places to hang out during downtime. Every hostel is unique, but local wisdom, pools, rooftop bars, and giant hammocks can all be found, so if hostel travel is new to you, you’ll love what Roamies is all about.
