My experience was incredible. The trip packed so many excursions into an affordable price at a great pace. Esteban was a phenomenal tour guide and made the experience one I will never forget.
Rhea K | Traveled in May
It is hard to explain my experience in just one short paragraph. The chance to stay in interesting places, the pottery demonstration, and to travel with people who went from strangers to friends.
Danai A | Traveled in January
It was a very nicely paced trip. The group was amazing, we had a lot of fun and our CEO was great. Although it was a short trip for me, I feel that I experienced a lot of things in a few days.
Brian G | Traveled in January
My tour guide (or "CEO"), Christian Guido was amazing! He made the entire trip feel safe and unique and he went above and beyond to cater to the group. At one point I lost my wallet after surfing and someone brought it to the nearest hotel and contacted me via WhatsApp. Christian contacted the hotel manager and had her ship the wallet to our next destination. This was only one of the many ways he helped ensure we all had a great experience on the trip! Highly recommend going to Costa Rica with G Adventures :)
