This was my first Trutravels, and group tour experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide and group of people to have spent the past 10 days with! I’ve made friends for life with some of the girls and we all agreed that our hearts felt very full at the end of the 10 day…If anything I wished the tour was longer! Our guide Jose was a brilliant group leader and went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great trip, he was very friendly, fun, and such a genuinely nice guy and you could tell how much he loved Costa Rica as his hometown. He made himself available 24/7 for us all and nothing was too much of an ask!

This was my first solo trip ever and it was the best trip that I’ve ever been on. From having the best group of girls to the best tour guide ever— it has truly been an amazing experience that I’m not ready to have it end. Ming is the best tour guide and has made this trip so seamless and enjoyable for all of us. She’s prepared, always there to help us and gives the best recommendations. She truly would give the shirt off of her back for any of us and my first solo trip wouldn’t have been this much fun with any other tour guide. I can’t say enough good things about Ming truly. The sweetest soul ever and I’m so happy to have had her as my guide this trip. 🤍

I can’t express how amazing this tour has been, it was beyond expectations! I was really nervous to join a tour not knowing anyone but Milin was so friendly and welcoming from the beginning. The experiences we had (elephant home, water park, cooking class etc) were all surreal, and I’m so glad that we got to take part in that. Milin has been such an excellent travel ninja, she is always so happy and smiley, fun and caring and always ensuring that everyone is enjoying and well looked after. We’ve had the best time and made amazing memories with amazing people. Thank you so much Milin!! 🫶🏻🐰

This tour was so amazing and Smile made sure it was for all of us!!! He’s an amazing guide, friend, comedian and bodyguard ;)! I couldn’t have wished for a better tour guide. He made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun all the time. We learned so much about the culture and history of Thailand. My favorite part of this trip was the jungle trek and sleeping in the local village. Playing with the kids, seeing them happy and giving them snacks and toys was something that gave me so much joy. Thank you Smile for making this trip unforgettable!

Even though my English isn't the best, the tour was a great experience thanks to Song, and hopefully he stays the way he is. Song, have fun in Thailand.
