This was a challenging trip with a mixture of hard and easy cycling covering a number of different areas of this beautiful country. We had a good mixed group who gelled together very quickly and which made the time together very enjoyable. The trip covered many beautiful areas of Costa Rica with many opportunities to see the wild life and dramatic land and sea scapes.

Overall I loved the trip, and what was offered. Again my only complaint is the accommodations. Basic is fine but cleanliness and pride of ownership should be important. I would definitely consider another G Adventures but the accommodation will weigh heavily on that decision. I love the 18-39 age group, but with upgraded accommodation.

The timing, the excursions and activities, the restaurants, accommodations and travels were all so amazing, and there was never a dull moment. No wait I take that back. The dull moments is when we went to bed. I never wanted the day to end and I never wanted this trip to end. From the ceo to the new friends I made in our group, it was absolutely amazing. The wildlife, the beaches, the food, the parties, the home stay, I can’t even get started on the home stay. What a wholesome moment. The families were so sweet and welcoming.
I wanted to thank G Adventures and I wanted to especially thank Aaron, our ceo for always being organized and making this tour educational and fun.

I thought my experience was fantastic! From meeting people from all over the world and being in similar situations but going through fun activities together. It was a great way to make new friends and learn something new about everywhere. I found the places we visited to be beautiful and having learned a bit about each town was extremely fascinating. I would highly recommend.

We loved the variety of experiences. No two hotels or activities were quite the same and it was a great balance. We thought the first week was a bit better than the second week, but that's just us. Tortuguero and the nature around La Fortuna and Rio Celeste are hard to match. I'm sure birders will be very satisfied with this tour. We like doing our own thing and are pleased that we often have time to explore on our own. G Adventures, we'll be back.

We had a great experience with G Adventures when we traveled to Costa Rica a couple of years ago and this trip to Italy cemented our positive view of these tours. I would not hesitate to recommend G Adventures to anyone traveling with children. The activities were fun, interesting, and varied. It was our 3 grandsons' first trip out of the country and it could not have been better. You need to give Francesco and Mika a raise in salary! They were outstanding.
A fantastic and memorable holiday with many highlights. Fantastic support from CEO. Very friendly supportive group. Lots of wildlife spotted. Highlights were Manuel Antonio, hiking and hot springs in Rincon de la Vieja, zip lining in Monteverde.
