    The expedition was absolutely brilliant and the G adventures rep really made the whole thing brilliant. The broker - Tour Radar were a let down - they failed to liaise with G Adventure (the tour operator) with any of the personal information I'd supplied such as air port transport times and dietary requirements which did make some things unnecessarily difficult. They also took an absolute age to respond to queries.

    The tour was organized with lots of choices for activities. The itinerary included well selected destinations that gave me a sampling of the Caribbean coast, national parks, and the Pacific Ocean with beautiful beaches. The pace was relaxed enough for a two-week trip. The CEO, RJ, was outstanding, organized, friendly, and knowledgeable! I was very pleased with everything!

    CAUTION! This was a great tour with a wonderful guide but G-Adventures management leaves a great deal wanting. WATCH THEIR CANCELLATION POLICY. Do not book any service beyond the basic trip. 5% refunds on cancelations!! Blame passing when things go wrong.

    My husband and I enjoyed this 14 day Costa Rican tour by G adventures. The itineraries were excellent and well planned and on time. Josimar, the CEO and other tours requiring local tour guides were knowledgeable with each l itineraries. Josimar exceeded our expectation in helping our group with their specific needs like Covid testing before our flights and transfers . We liked how this tours were scheduled that there were days that were free to choose other activities that were interested considering not everyone like to do the same activity. We recommend this tour.

    We’ve travelled far and wide over this planet but the trip with National Geographic/G Adventures to Costa Rica was among our top three journeys. Thanks to TourRadar for booking it all for us. We were the only ones on our tour who had everything prebooked that was possible e.g. transfers, optional excursions etc. TourRadar allowed us to travel with prepaid vouchers vs booking and paying for activities on site. Thanks Tour Radar!
