Guest reviews from travelers on Adventure tours in and around San Jose
Hannah Hutchinson | Traveled in August
Manny was truly amazing - we didn’t have to use our brain once the whole 10 days because of how organised he was and everything ran so seamlessly. He made sure everyone was happy at all times and shout out to him for even carrying our excessively large bags from bus to bus! The tour wouldn’t have been the same without him and I can’t thank him enough!
Rachel L. | Traveled in April
Accommodations were more than sufficient, but most hotels did not have air conditioning. This wasn't an issue for us as the temperatures cooled down quite a bit at night. With choosing the optional experiences, the itinerary was quite full each day, with downtime only after dinner. We wanted to have full days of exploring so this was great for us, but for those wanting a more laid back tour, this is also possible by booking less of the optional tours.

The itinerary was perfect. We enjoyed everything offered!. We really enjoyed getting to know the local people on the river . Our driver, *Personal details removed by Feefo|* was awesome too! *Personal details removed by Feefo|* made every day so fun! He really knew so much about the area!

This is a great cycling adventure. If you love cycling, have a desire to see wonderful countries and share travel experiences, then this the trip for you. We had a mixture rain forests and rural roads. Everyday had its own highlights!! We even had an option to visit an uninhabited desert island. The tour leader made everything run smoothly and added to the experience.

This trip was amazing. I did so many things I have never done before and things that I was terrified to do like the zip lining but I’m so glad I did them. It was a great mix of adventure and choosing to do something relaxing if your body needed a rest. I made friends for life, I will cherish this trip forever. I even got a tattoo that is so meaningful to me. Thanks for such an amazing adventure and healing trip!
