This was our first Collette tour and there is no reason we would not consider another. Our tour leader was superb and hotels and tours were great. I do not have a favorite experience as everything was varied and enjoyable.

Well, planned adventure trip for the physically fit. I was not able to participate in many of the adventure events because I have a mobility issue that cropped up right before I left. But overall, it was a great trip well planned well executed super good tour manager.

It was an amazing exprience. We could not have had a better guide. The time flew by with all the activities and eating. The trip to Tortuguero was way out of my comfort zone and I loved almost everything about it! Then from there it just got more fun. The weather for the most part cooperated. The hanging bridges, the zip lining, the white water rafting. I mean I loved it all. The food was also a big plus. Even with food allergies, there was always plenty to be had. Costa Rica is a beautiful country filled with wonderful people.
