- CLChristina· February 21st, 2025It was an amazing experience to see a bit of everything in Costa Rica. The tour guide Karol was amazing and we could talk like friends. The hostels were Okay and the transport was amazing, mostly only for the group. The rooms always had to be shared at least with 1 other person. In La Fortuna and Santa Teresa it was Dorms of 6. If you like privacy on your tour book a more expensive tour with GadventuresShow more
G Adventures commented on this reviewThank you so much for your review and wonderful photos, Christina! Our world deserves more you!Trip date: February 2025 - DJDesirée· April 5th, 2024Costa Rica is a beautiful country. I would highly recommend going there but can't recommend the tour. The accommodation is not just basic: Most of the hotels were dirty and one of the hotels even had flees in the blankets. Our guide did what was required of her. The tour lacked a clear structure for the extra activities.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback, Desirée. We are sorry to read of your disappointment.

Everyday, waking up in a new environment with new activities and experiences to discover was incredible. I will need to look back again and again on all the activities and experiences this trip had, so much to do so many things to discover could not recommend G Adventures enough.
