We had the best time on our Costa Rica trip. I was worried about the coordination, but all went smoothly. The communication was fantastic and and when little things happened they were always available on Whatsapp for updates and reassurance. They were very flexible when I wanted to change things slightly at the last minute towards the end of the trip. I would highly recommend this company.

Andres Christianâs was an excellent tour leader. You can tell that you truly loves Colombia and enjoys sharing that with everyone. Some accommodations were better than others. Hotel in Medellin was fabulous but the hotel in Palomino did not offer hot water. This was unfortunately as we stayed there 2 evenings total. It would be great if Explore offered different hotel packages.

An excellent way to explore Central America on two wheelsâwhat a ride! I loved every segment of the tour. Just a heads-up: youâll need more than basic cycling skills⌠and a truckload of grit. Some of the dirt roads, especially the downhills, are the kind that make you suddenly remember every loved one youâve ever had. Definitely not for the faint-hearted.
About the hotels: a few of the one-night stays were⌠letâs say âcharacter-building.â The stop in Turrialba in particular did not meet even basic standards. Explore, you can do betterâplease save future cyclists from that experience.
Now, about our tour leader, Mike. After ~15 tours across ~20 countries, Iâve finally had a tour led by a real pro athlete. And wowâwhat a difference. Mikeâs professionalism, enthusiasm, ocean-level patience, and that trademark toothy smile made even the toughest (undualatingđďźclimbs feel manageable. He set the bar so high that my future tours may need oxygen just to reach it.
Absolutely recommended. And if youâre lucky enough to get Mike, prepare to have your expectations ruinedâin the best possible way.

CharlieTheTraveler does such an excellent job balancing out trips, such as this Costa Rica trip. I enjoyed the balance between active daytrips and daytrips that allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away. This was the perfect vacation for me and something I would not have been able to plan on my own.
