5.00Adrian Santiago Galeano is an exceptional guide! Before the trip started, he contacted me to introduce himself and clarify our interests. Once we met him in person, his passion for sharing the beauty of Costa Rica was immediately obvious. He asked what we wanted to see and customized the trip entirely to our wishes. We have traveled to 50 countries and have never met a more caring guide. Adrian is highly recommended! Five stars!
