What people love about Costa Rica And Nicaragua Tours
- Cycle Nicaragua to the Panama Canal
As mentioned previously this was an ambitious itinerary. Chris the leader made it work, so I feel very grateful to him for this. It was just brilliant to see 3 very different countries in Central America on 2 wheels on a two week trip.
- Cycle Nicaragua, Costa Rica & Panama
Excellent guides and mechanism. Well planned tour. Nice combination of biking and experiencing the areas travelled.
- Real Guatemala to Costa Rica (including Cerro Verde National Park)
Generally had a great time and would recommend the trip. A few things I would like to mention are as follows: - The tour was advertised as having all meals included. When the booking was confirmed it stated that no meals were included. This makes for a considerable financial difference over a 17 day tour. - It would have been useful to have known that there were border crossing charges to help with budgeting. - Geckos are not allowed to promote 'high risk activities'. As an adult it would have been nice to have been offered these activities and to make our own decisions as to whether we wanted to do them rather than potentially missing out on activities. Surely a disclaimer form could be provided to negate any risk to Geckos. - Tour leader (Maria) was friendly and positive at all times and dealt with some of the more challenging members of the group in a diplomatic manner minimising disruption to the rest of the group.
