    Gema, you have been amazing ! You have made my experience on this trip so positive, filled with laughter and good vibes! It was so useful to have your recs throughout the trip to make sure we were heading to food spots and seeing the best of Costa Rica. You brought such great energy to the trip and it wouldn’t have been the same without you.

    Gema is an absolute sweetheart. She is so welcoming, friendly and really made me feel at ease when it was my first time on a trip like this! She was so informative, providing us with local cafes and restaurants to try in our own time which was really helpful. She is such a positive, happy person and this really did make my experience amazing.

    Gema was an amazing tour guide! Such a beautiful and carefree soul. The whole trip was very organised - even if 5 minutes really means 10 haha “Costa Rican time”. Everyday she had a great attitude, great tunes and was extremely enthusiastic about all the places we visited - especially about the history of each place. She also loved to have a fun time with us even if she came out a little worse for wear from the water slide at Baldi Springs hahah. She always made sure everyone was having a good time and provided plenty of laughs! It was an unforgettable trip and i’d happily book another trip with her!

    I’ve been left exhausted by the end of this trip due to the packed itinerary but it was worth it to explore Costa Rica! Each location came with thrilling or more chill optional activities that multiple people from the group (if not all) participated in. Our guide, Gema, is very well traveled and was able to help the girls with many questions and uncomfortabilities of traveling because of it.

    Gema started the trip as our tour guide and ended as our friend. She exudes energy and positivity which makes you feel so at ease. Gema is so professional but knows how to have fun and make your trip one to remember. No problem was too big for Gema; she took all of the stress out of travelling. Can’t recommend her enough as a tour guide. I hope I get the pleasure of travelling with her again!

    Gema was an amazing energy in the group, always making us laugh and ensuring we had a good time with amazing music! She was informative, friendly and approachable. She organised things very well and always had a smile on her face. Her information both given in person and on the group chat was useful and informative. She recommended loads of good restaurants, cafes etc for each leg of the trip. I would happily book another tour with her to a different country.

    Gema was the best kind of person to be doing this job, her enthusiasm and love for the places that we were going was out of this world. You can really tell that she genuinely enjoys doing this as her job. She has become a friend and big sister to all of us girls. Always being there when you need to chat and if you have any queries or worries she would always have the answer. When I go on another gals who travel or trutravel I would 100% what her to be my guide.

    Where to start about Gema! She was the MOST amazing guide on the Gals Who Travel Costa Rica trip. Her fun loving and bubbly personality shone through throughout the trip. She was incredibly informative and knowledgeable and always made the group feel at ease. She had a great way of keeping things organised while also remaining cool, calm and collected (Pura Vida!!) Even the bus journeys with her incredible taste in music (get her on the Gals Who Travel playlist) were so fun. She really did make our trip and I’m so grateful to her for that! Gem xx

    Gema has been amazing. Her positive spirit and energy has really made the trip and I don’t think we could have asked for a better group leader. She clearly cares a lot about what she does and I think everyone in the group has bonded with her - which isn’t always easy in such a big group! I would absolutely recommend Gema and a leader and would be more inclined to book another group trip in the future if she was organising. Thanks for everything!

    I had an absolutely amazing 10 days in Costa Rica with Gema! She is such a kind-hearted, friendly person and made us feel so comfortable instantly! Gema was so knowledgeable about each area during the tour and took us to the most amazing spots, and I feel as though I really got to see the real Costa Rica! Everything was also so well organised both before the trip and during, with an itinerary and packing list for each day/ activity. Gema really integrated into our group and made our trip so much more fun! xx
