I have always been an all inclusive resort guy until my fiance brought me on this "jungle adventure ". Everything leading up to this I was skeptical and definitely not a good travel partner. The moment we hooked up with Manuel our guide and he took control, it absolutely changed my opinion about everything. This man was extremely knowledgeable and warm to all guests on this tour. This was the trip of a lifetime and we are already planning our next G adventures for our trip to Italy 2025
