I booked this trip for my daughter and me. She wanted action and adventure, every day, and this trip delivered. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotels. Much nicer than I expected, given the low cost of this to her. Most of the transportation was fairly high-quality as well. The bus too, and from the rafting was nothing fancy, but certainly nothing to worry about.
Be prepared to spend a little more time than you might expect in transit. That's a function of Costa Rican infrastructure. Lots of one lane roads means travel between cities can be really slow. But the scenery is gorgeous. If you just consider it part of the adventure, and enjoy it, it's not a problem.
I highly recommend this trip. It had everything we wanted.

We had the best time in Guatemala!! There were so many activities that you have done during the trip. The pro is that we don't have the worry about the transportation because there is some people who are always there to assist us. The only con would probably be having those long land trips. The hotels were decent as we only view them as a place to sleep and shower. This tour exceeded our expectations.
