Costa Rica Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our 8-Day Costa Rica tours
Jennifer | Traveled in January
We loved the trip but the packing list was not correct. I packed shampoo and stuff that the resorts provided which wasted room and weight in my luggage. Also there was no need for water purification tablets. We didn't need a whistle or an outlet adapter so I would take these off the list since they take up space in the luggage. A poncho is a must. Everyone we worked with was very professional and positive
Emily D | Traveled in April
Great experience - learned so much more about the country and the area and connected with fellow travelers from around the world. The small group tour made travel a breeze for this single mom traveling solo with her son!
Zainab Hakim | Traveled in September
We had a great time and liked every place and activity that was part of the trip. The transfers were well coordinated and always on time. Most hotel accommodations were good and location was central to other activities. We were able to customize the itinerary to include Caribbean coast which was also really nice!

Sahil S. | Traveled in March
What an epic adventure. The blend of nature and activities v beach and relaxing was perfect, great plan and organisation to the trip. Both our tour guide Oscar and driver Santos were amazing. A huge shout out to Oscar for everything - the best Contiki guide i’ve had and felt like he was part of the crew and made our trip so memorable. We loved the add ons and appreciated the added recommendations for free time. We all stayed together in those free times which was lovely to see. A beautiful country, crazy fun activities, wild nights and awesome people Thanks for a great adventure!
