Overall, I give this experience a 10/10. It was my first international trip solo and I had the best time ever. The option to stay an extra night on either end of the trip was perfect. The option for transportation to and from the airport was really appreciated, as I was by myself in a new country. I got to experience so many parts of Costa Rica in a two-week period that I would not have been able to do if I was alone. I am already looking for my next trip to book. I will be a G customer for a long time and recommend it to anyone who will listen!
