I was very pleased with everything that happened from the time we boarded Yolita until our final disembarkation. Our trip leader was great, but equally important, the entire crew/staff was great. Everyone was competent at their jobs; they were friendly; and they seemed to be genuinely concerned about our safety, comfort and contentment.

Trip of a lifetime to see eager animals up close. Our guide Milton made sure we were intimately familiar with all of them by the end of our voyage. The food, crew, boat, guide, weather, and animals couldn’t be any better.

A fantastic tour of all the best sites in Costa Rica from coast, to volcanoes, to cloud forests. The tour exactly mirrored what was described in the itinerary and the itinerary delivered lots of opportunity to view not only the tremendous wildlife on offer, but also the different landscapes and eco systems.

It's the first time I've done a National Geographic tour and the accommodation was at the next level compared to classic tours.
Lunch on the salt flats was awesome, table, chairs, food and wine. Followed by sparkling cider for tea with snacks....G never fails to surprise me by taking it up the next level.
Izzy helped me out with my on line check in, as well as a few others in the group. He is definitely deserving of being a primary CEO

Marcelo was a very good tour director. He took care of us in two ways: getting my wife to a doctor with a throat infection and staying up with me late to watch an NFL playoff game on his tablet.
El Calafate/Perito Moreno the clear standout.
Better to cut short time in Puerto Natales by one day and give us a day in Santiago instead. Too much lower interest filler in Puerto Natales (baby horses, cave, Rupestre). Keep Torres del Paine and boat to Serrano glacier and sheep farm visit.
