    This trip was just me and my friend. Two girls. We felt very safe with the tour guide and he made everything easy for us and explained everything perfectly. No issues at all for the duration and was pleased with my trip to Brazil.

    I really enjoyed the tour but had some reservations, the Guacho ranch tour was way too expensive, the transfors from airport was way too expensive Suggestive tips to bus driver and local guides were stated, but I did not see suggestive tips to tour director. Excellent hotesl and very good guides.The price of the Escape tour was very good.

    Jorge Avila was our wonderful proud Costa Rican guide. He was very warm, enjoyable, knowledgeable, and welcoming. He had insightful input to questions and potential issues likely of common concern. He was always open to questions and graciously repeated information. Each day had a thoughtful mix of educational, informal and personal info along with quiet moments that made the day quite enjoyable. Our tour had a happy mix of the cloud forest, jungle, and volcanic terrain and a dash of tourist/souvenir exposure that was just right for my expectations of flora and fauna exposure. Lodging was above my expectations and meals delicious with generous variety. Glad I went!

    Asked on July 30th, 2024

    If we are there a day early what happens? Do we have to find our own transportation from the airport? Is it possible to stay an extra day at the Gamboa Resort until the 19th? If so, would we need to find our own transportation back to the airport on the morning of the 19th?

    Liz

    Asked on July 27th, 2024

    Could we stay at the Gamboa Resort an extra day and still receive transportation back to the airport on the 19th? If we come on the 12th and decide to stay at a different hotel for the night until the 13th when the tour starts how would we become picked up or be able to start from somewhere that was not the airport? I see on the Gamboa Rainforest Resort website that there are several restaurants onsite. Can you give an average price for food?
