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!
Was a great trip, thank you!
I had excellent experience with G adventures and national geographic. It was an expertly or trip with high-quality activities accommodation. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone that is looking for this type of holiday in Costa Rica.
It was an experience of a lifetime for my spouse, kids, and I. We fell in love with Costa Rica - kind hearted people and stunning nature.
It was the absolute best decision to travel with G Adventures to Costa Rica,. was super lucky that our CEO was Daniel as he was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and on top of everything! I can't wait to book another National Geographic Journey! :)
Costa Rica is a beautiful and exciting country and this tour enabled me to see a great amount of it easily!
Best trip for a solo female traveller, highly recommend it to women looking to get away from all inclusive resorts but are afraid to travel solo. Looking forward to booking again!!!!!
This was my 2nd G Adventures trip, I didn't know how it would stack up to the first since that one was so over-the-top awesome. Well? You did it again G Adventures! It was FANTASTIC!! I can't wait to start planning my next tour!
