I love the experience of the tour, but it's very much impacted by the CEO and of course the group itself. The social impact aspect of the tour makes for a lovely enriching local experience.

Loved working with all my CEOs, they had different styles but were all knowledgeable in their regions and helpful to the group. Pay them more. Seriously, they aren?t getting paid enough for what they have to do.

Amazing trip! Was able to see so much in quite a short period of time. Face paced travel but was a good amount of time at each location. Our CEO Adrian Ramirez was an absolute legend, super insightful and made sure every leg of the trip ran smoothly. 10/10

Our tour guide, Manny, was great - professional and friendly - and ensured we all had the best time in Costa Rica. It was so nice being able to have so many incredible experiences without having to think about booking them or how I was going to travel between them, even when dinners/ lunches weren’t provided Manny showed us some great places. The activities were all pretty amazing too!

Even though we had some bad luck due to external reasons, we had an amazing time and we really got to see the best of what Costa Rica and her people have to offer.

Amazing experience! I'd absolutely recommend this style of travel to any friends/ family as it allowed you to experience a culture with locals and others who love to travel. You don't need language experience, knowledge of the area, or lots of pre-planning - you just show up and have a great time!

Very enjoyable trip with excellent activities and wildlife. Weather was also perfect throughout the trip and Ernyk was very approachable for any extra assistance. This is a trip I will forever remember for the activities, fun, food, beaches, wildlife and great company. Getting a full holistic experience of Costa Rica with both Caribbean and Pacific culture as well as getting the authentic experience of the homestay. Truly the trip of a lifetime and I cannot wait to start planning my next G adventures trip!

We had a great trip. It was an amazing way to see a country in a short space of time on a limited budget. It didn't feel like being rushed about - we had a nice amount of free time and alone time to do our own things. Our group was really special and really added to my experience.

This was my first Contiki trip & I'm not sure that any holiday will ever be the same! I had the most amazing time in Costa Rica with the best group of people. From chill beach days to zip lining over the rainforest we did such a variety of things but still had plenty of free time (in Monteverde we used our free time to go & do the highest bungee in Central America!). Our trip manager & driver were incredible & really made the trip unforgettable with crazy knowledge of the local areas & wildlife. Pura Vida!
