Passenger Comments:

"It was the trip of a lifetime, and worth every penny. It was breathtaking, educational and had a nice mix of activities."
Nancy B. Charlotte Council of Garden Clubs (NC)

"As a gardener and a member of a garden club, this tour was exactly what I was looking for...and found it! Continue this wonderful tour for all to enjoy and learn so many interesting facts about the "Garden of Paradise" that is Costa Rica." Roslyn R., Blue Ridge Garden Club (VA)

"Our Garden Tour was extraordinary. We enjoyed beautiful accomodations, delicious food, a terrific guide, and a comfortable coach.  It was a well planned educational and fun trip."  Susan H., Charlotte Council of Garden Clubs

"I thought the trip was terrific. I have never had so much fun learning new things and seeing new places. Being a lifelong plantsman and insect fancier I couldn't get enough of either. It was the best tour I've gone on. I have traveled a lot, but this was the first in Latin America. It has spoiled me for other tours." Phil P, Master Gardener/PA
