San Jose National parks Trips

Just finished my Costa Rica Trip and had the best time ever!! If you are considering it DO IT!!! I’ve been on many many group tours and this was by far the best I have done to date! The group leader - Elmer, honestly made the trip and just went above and beyond in every possible way to ensure we were having a good time! Will definitely be booking another Intro trip soon as it was the best two weeks ever!

It was fun, interesting and I learned a lot. While it is marketed as an 8 day trip, Day 1 and day 8 are a meetup and drive to the airport respectively. Therefore it’s really a 6 day adventure, however it was a marvelous 6 days. Everything was flawless.

It was a great trip and we covered a lot of ground! It was my 4th visit to Costa Rica and my first with Trafalgar. We had a great guide in Yader and were well taken care of. Overall very satisfied and would recommend to other travellers. Minor observations - we had four local talks which were well done and very interesting, but were too long, over an hour each. Usually after a long bus ride. People were tired and had been sitting for a long time. Would suggest making them shorter and perhaps over a meal. Also surprised that not all the meals were included, not a big deal but thought it was all inclusive. Also apparently not all the tips were included either, I had paid tips in advance. Well organized and fun and highly recommended!

We enjoyed this trip immensely. We thought the educational talks were very interesting, but the time was too long after a long bus ride. An hour talk would be preferred.

Great itinerary and *Personal details removed by Feefo* were fantastic! I like how Trafalgar has partnered with local people to provide their stories and be able to sustain their livelihoods. My only suggestion would be to limit their time to 30 minutes (*Personal details removed by Feefo* with coconut demonstration, Quaker history). It’s hard to sit in a hot space after a long day. Or perhaps give their speeches while eating (Quintano family).

The whole trip was extremely well planned from start to finish. A great mix of leisurely activities and more active ones, plus some really special experiences with local folks making a difference in their communities. All the guides were exceptionally well informed and personable, and our travel director *Personal details removed by Feefo* was an absolute star.
