The tour guides, driver and bus were all excellent. The hotels were sufficient and some better than others with only MINOR inconveniences. I would stay at any of them a second time.

An excellent tour lead by the enthusiastic and very knowledgeable Juan Carlos (JC), supported by brilliant driver -Ronnie - who also provided an extra set of wildlife spotting eyes. Despite being "dry season" we were unusually lucky with the amount of rain. Didn't stop us seeing 99% of targeted wildlife. Covered a lot of ground and many different habitats. Accommodation was good throughout and we were spoiled by the exceptional Savagre Nature Reserve and Spa and Selva Verde Rainforest Reserve. Fellow travellers were from UK plus 2 from US. We all got on well - I guess the nature of the trip pre-selects people to have a similar outlook. Mainly couples but a few solo travellers like myself. Good mix of organised outings and free time, which helped with photographers like myself wanting a bit of extra time in some locations. Costa Rica is a readily accessible country, but trying to fit this much in on a self guided tour would be challenging in the same timeframe. Highly reccomended.

Diego was a very knowledgeable and personable guide, who ensured we had an informative as well as enjoyable tour. The itinerary was well thought out, with the exeption of the distance to travel to the cooking experiance/meal which was a round trip of 2 hours.

Our Patagonia holiday was a wonderful experience. A really great group which shared the joy and laughter of experiences. Some days were long as climbed to many iconic mountains and glaciers. Wow magic! Absolute credit to our guides who made this amazing journey possible.

The trip was wonderful. The tour manager was very organized, knowledgeable, funny and accommodating. Much more than expected. The hotels were wonderful and absolutely beautiful. There was a communication issue with Collette where we stayed one night at a different location (much colder and wetter) than what was communicated (after the initial change of itinerary). The tours were educational and enjoyable, flexible enough for some self exploration. The tour manager let us know what to expect ahead of time. The stops when traveling were well planned. Excellent adventure!!!
