Excellent
Traveling with G Adventures made the experience of being in a new country where we don’t speak the language very easy and we learned and saw so much in our relatively short time in the country. Our guide Berny was incredible and helped us so much in so many ways from logistics, problem-solving, to local knowledge and it was clear that he cared very much about our enjoyment and also had a passion for the animal and plant-life of the area and the culture of Costa Rica. He always made us feel comfortable and taken care of. We loved that the kids had peers to travel with and the adults were nice companions as well. We would certainly consider doing another G Family Adventure soon.
