Excellent experience

The star of the experience was Gracie - how she made us a cohesive group. She kept everything on schedule. Gracie had a great smile and sense of humour. She was very knowledgeable about Costa Rica and we drove along on the bus she would give us information on agriculture, education, schooling, history of the country etc Great discussion on the challenges of the massive increase in tourism. Certainly would very much enjoy having Gracie as my CEO on my next trip

I had a lovely time, I enjoyed being able to pick and chose the trips I wanted to do and appreciated the ethical stance G adventures takes on the places it visits. Gracie really made the trip special though, I would travel with her any day!
