Loved every minute of the trip. Saw lots of amazing animals and experienced diverse regions of Costa Rica. The tour guide was very efficient and looked after everyone really well
National Geographic would not buddy up with a tour company unless they had the highest standards. This was my 1st journey with a Nat Geo - G Adventures tour and I would 100% go again and look forward to doing more such tours. Our guide was professional, knowledgeable, vigilant and reliable. We felt entirely safe with all of his recommendations. The tour was fabulous even though we had a lot of rain! The itinerary was excellent, activities were all fun and inspiring. Such a wonderful focus on nature and not commerce. The local guides were knowledgeable, enthusiastic without being fake and we all left with such a respect and awe for this beautiful gem of a country. One of the best trips I've ever had.
This was my first trip with G-Adventures, and it was fantastic! Our CEO, Daniel Alvarez, was outstanding! I will definitely take another tour with G-Adventures in the future! Cheers, Carl
We wanted to experience the biodiversity that Costa Rica offers and this trip exceeded our expectations. Edgar "Mane" Badilla was an outstanding CEO and it was apparent that he loves his job and the culture and biodiversity of his country and he enjoys sharing that knowledge. Our group of 15 represented 4 different countries yet we bonded almost instantly and enjoyed our shared experiences.
I had the most amazing time from start to finish, a holiday of a lifetime. I was the only solo traveller in the group and felt so welcomed by everyone, a great mix of people of all ages and backgrounds. Can?t imagine a better tour guide, Tito absolutely made the trip. Had so much fun, a lot of laughs, and met friends for life. We were very lucky and saw so much beautiful wildlife, stunning scenery and learnt a lot about the culture. So sad it is all over and definitely want to return to Costa Rica one day. Would definitely book a G Adventures tour again in future, and in particular would recommend a National Geographic one.
What a wonderful trip. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, entertaining and helpful. We saw and learned so much our senses were overwhelmed. Thank you for putting together such a wonderful program!
