Georgia –
I did two trips with plotpackers (run by Louise) this summer. One in Ecuador and one in Costa Rica. They were both fabulous! So much thought put into them. Louise’s knowledge and experience was so reassuring and made the trips amazing! There was such a great mix of planned activities and days where you could also explore on your own. Louise was always there to give some great recommendations and had lots of advice for travellers.
It was my first time travelling alone so I wanted to start with a group trip to see how it goes and I do not regret it for a second! I will definitely be booking more trips with plotpackers in the future!
