The adventures planned for this trip were 9/10 for me, they were all fun. With the exception of the Coffee Tour which I felt should have been an optional activity as not everyone is interested in this particular one. The hostels varied widely in terms of quality, overall it would be a 6/10 for me

It was well organized with a good mix of organized activities and free time. Guide was very helpful, patient and flexible. It made travelling stress free.

it's a lot of fun and takes the stress of organizing accommodation and activities away, plus you meet lots of nice people

I think it is a great way of travelling. Only gave a lower score as a lot of my family and friends wouldn't consider this sort of trip as an option.

I gave it a 10 because my trip was amazing and so was our CEO Natalie.

1) Natalie was so informative and helpful the entire trip! She made sure we had everything we needed and provided some incredible side adventures too! Absolutely adore Natalie! 2) The adventures were top notch, very well organized! 3) The people I met are some of my new favorite humans. LOVED this trip!

There were no alternative plans for days the weather didn't suit the attraction, didn't have any clear information about the welcome meeting I ended up waiting the lobby all day with all my luggage because they couldn't tell me when the meeting was but I wasn't allowed to check in until our guide met us and one of the nights a random man was in our (supposed) girls only dorm in the first hostel

I had an incredible time on this trip. It was so well thought out and curated. However, the hostels were each worse than the last. Lack of working showers, washrooms and outlets.

This style of travel is fun. It is more pleasant as you get to meet individuals and connect on a deeper level.

It was a really great trip and the style works well for a group tour for younger people!

Flexibility and good hostels

This was my very first trip by myself without any friends or family and it was such an amazing first time experience. I am so thankful for all the people I met on this trip, my group was amazing, and it wouldn't have been the same if it weren't for our tour guide Jossi. It may have only been a week but they felt like family and I felt so safe in their company. I wouldn't change a thing about the trip if I could! The itinerary was well thought out, although I found the extra activities quite on the expensive side. However, Jossi was very informative and helpful when it came to suggesting cheaper alternatives. Thank you so much Jossi I will definitely be back!!

Amazing experience

Trip was fantastic with a great itinerary and tons of fun optional activities to choose from. The transportation was planned seamlessly, with our CEO giving us fun facts and stories along the way, so time went by quickly. The hostels in La Fortuna and Monteverde were unbelievable (the amount of wildlife in the Monteverde hostels was particularly striking, with agoutis and raccoons running around, and the two friendly resident cats!). The only reason I'm refraining from giving 10 points is that I was not a fan of the first accommodation in San Jose. The hostel is situated next to a train track, with the horn blaring incessantly starting at around 5am. So it was not a peaceful slumber. Additionally, the water stopped working during my stay, meaning that the toilets wouldn't flush, resulting in some pretty disgusting conditions in the bathrooms.
