Lauren True | Traveled in November
It was absolutely perfect! Literally one of the most fun trips I’ve been on, the format was so perfect having Jose as a guide to take us around, it helped me feel safe and it was so great doing it with someone who knew the area and the history. The trip was a perfect blend of adventure and relaxing. I’m so happy with everything we did, the trip was exactly as described and even better!
Lara Stoney | Traveled in November
I would recommend this trip to anyone considering it! There’s no way I could have planned such an amazing trip and fit so much into 10 days! Our guide Jose has been amazing, he absolutely made our trip and I can’t imagine how it could have been improved. He is completely organised, considerate and brings a fun energy to the trip that made the whole experience an unforgettable one! He is so knowledgeable about all things Costa Rica and his recommendations were always fantastic. He absolutely went above and beyond to make sure we had the trip of a lifetime and I can’t thank him enough 🫶🏻
Claire Simpson | Traveled in November
Jose was a brilliant tour guide on the Costa Rica Gals Who Travel. As soon as we met Jose, he was so friendly and welcoming. Always approachable if you needed any help and brought such a positive energy to the trip. His recommendations were great and was very knowledgeable about all places in Costa Rica we visited. He was also great at spotting wildlife from sloths to whales! I would definitely go on another tour with Jose as the guide. The overall trip had a great mix of included excursions and extras from night safari to an island tour. It’s a great way to explore Costa Rica!
Anonymous | Traveled in November
Jose was great fun, it was lovely to see the local spots from a local himself. It was also nice to have a male figure on the Gals who travel trip as it made us all feel a lot safer. The whole process was smooth and it was great not to have to think about anything logistical!
Anonymous | Traveled in November
It was an amazing experience. Everything was so well organised and thought out. It was so helpful having a local guide who knew all the best spots and recommendations for us. The accommodation was lovely and all the activities were really fun. I've made so many memories!!!
