    The itinerary, G adventures, and our tour guide were exceptional! This was a great tour to get to see and experience. A lot of the highlights, both cultural and scenic that Costa Rica has to offer! Our Tour Guide Maria Victoria was exceptional! She was both passionate about sharing information about the culture and history of Costa Rica, but also about animals and conservation efforts! Highly recommend this tour
