Feedback from guests who toured Costa Rica during January.
Joanne | Traveled in January
We covered a lot of ground in 18 days and it was amazing. Miquel was an attentive and knowledgeable guide. Our experience was a bit unique as it was just my husband and I. We loved the mix of cultural, food, wildlife and adventure activities. We took advantage of many of the optional activities because - well why not - we were there to see things! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to explore the 5 sister countries of Central America.
Paul S. | Traveled in January
This trip was excellent. The itinerary was well thought out. I could not have imagined that Trafalgar had done such a unique job……. Special mention to the Tour Director Herman Rojas. He was a great part of what made this trip so good. He is a asset to Trafalgar.

Our guide Mnfred Cyrman was great, the itinery was very interesting and well thought out with a perfect balance of group activity and personal time for relaxation. All of the food and accomodations were great, and the transport bus and driver were also great.
Kathleen | Traveled in January
Perfect mix of wildlife tours, local cultural experiences, optional excursions & thrills like horse riding, white water rafting & zip wire. Comfortable hotels, swimming, good company, wonderful trip leader & driver. The small group is a plus if you enjoy meeting people and sharing experiences.
Anonymous | Traveled in January
Every bit as good as the description, warm, fantastic colours and wildlife. We discovered you don't need to go to the national parks to see wildlife. We saw more sitting quietly at the hotel or a short walk down the beach.
Melanie | Traveled in January
This was an unforgettable trip that exceeded all expectations. Our guide Allan and driver Ronald were exceptional - very knowledgeable, friendly and always making sure everyone felt comfortable and included, often going above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. Our group of 11, seemed to bond really well, with lots of laughter to be had. The wildlife and scenery were absolutely amazing - a photographer's dream! Costa Rica is a beautiful country, and I would highly recommend this trip.
