Lots of variety and plenty of memorable experiences

The tour was well thought out, with a nice blend between activities and relaxation. We stayed in 6 different locations and each provided something unique and enjoyable. It is hard to pick top highlights of the tour as there were so many.. which is testament to the tour and hence recommend it highly. All the were all at least good and some very nice (particularly los lacos in arenal). Transfers between the locations were efficient and takes a lot of stress off the experience.
