Customer Reviews
Excellent
Luis was my biggest highlight. I had great connections with some of the other participants. Totally recommend GAdventures to my friends!
Excellent
I loved this trip! You see so much in a relatively short period of time. The landscape is so varied, from beautiful beaches, to rainforests, and volcanoes. It’s an incredible adventure that I would recommend to anyone!
Excellent
This trip is a great introduction to Central America Travel ; with a mix of the history and culture of the Mayans and action packed activities like hiking active volcanos and whitewater rafting!
Excellent
Overall I loved the trip, and what was offered. Again my only complaint is the accommodations. Basic is fine but cleanliness and pride of ownership should be important. I would definitely consider another G Adventures but the accommodation will weigh heavily on that decision. I love the 18-39 age group, but with upgraded accommodation.
Excellent
Good trip, not great. Would have liked to have some included activities and better guides.
