  Pamela Gutierrez, our guide is great and we have enjoyed our time with her. Our trip was changed due to a tropical storm, so our itinerary was diverted to Montverde. We were limited to indoor activities like cooking class and salsa class. We were disappointed as it would have been better to compensate us with vouchers that can be used to pay for activities of our choice. We recognise this was not Pamela's decision but it was from g adventure. We raised our concern and we were finally given a nature walk activity that we would have at Tortuguero. We have found out that on day 5, breakfast was not included, and day 8 lunch was not included in the journey. However, the itinerary provided on your website at the time of booking was included. The changed itinerary has costed about an additional £180 for our trip. It is very disappointing that we are not able to go to Tortuguero and we understand this is beyond your control. We hope to go back to Tortuguero in the future with g adventure. Would it be possible to offer some form of compensation or a discount for a trip to Tortuguero?

  My experience was absolutely incredible. It was the first time I have ever done anything like this, traveling all by myself. It was great meeting new people, developing friendships, and doing some exciting things in a beautiful country. Gabriel was our guide and he did a tremendous job! He is extremely knowledgeable about the country and its culture and was educating us on some interesting facts about the country. But he also was a fun guy that really made the trip enjoyable. His made sure that everyone was comfortable and that all concerns were met, and if they weren't he found a way to fix that. Great time in an awesome place with incredible people. Can't wait to go back!

  My Kayaking adventure was a 5 star overall. We had a fabulous guide who knew his country very well and obviously loved it very much. We were given lots of time to do what we wanted to do for the tour and rest time if we so wished. The tour was well planned and organized. The slight downside was the accommodations, the first San Jose hotel was not that nice and in a bad part of town. The hotel in La Fortuna was without A/C or a fan until we begged for them. I would have been happy if we had a window but there were either no windows or they did not open depending on what room you were assigned. The food was plentiful when at buffets, the selection very good. When we were on our own for a meal we were always given lots of options for places to go depending on how much you wanted to spend and what your preferences were. Even our Vegan travelers always found something to eat. The Kayaking part of the trip could have been longer but we got what we signed up for (and a bit more). That is just a wish for G Adventures to change the trip so it's more kayaking....not a slight on the current trip. The people I met on the trip were fabulous, a more wonderful group to travel with I cannot imagine! Thank you G Adventures for the experience.
