Last Minute Costa Rica Tours and Trip Deals

Manny was truly amazing - we didn’t have to use our brain once the whole 10 days because of how organised he was and everything ran so seamlessly. He made sure everyone was happy at all times and shout out to him for even carrying our excessively large bags from bus to bus! The tour wouldn’t have been the same without him and I can’t thank him enough!

We had a wonderful experience! Our first stop was rustic and beautiful. The food was delicious and there was plenty to do during our “off” time. The second resort was an amazing location with beautiful views. The rooms were comfortable with air conditioning. The bathrooms could use some updating. The final stop was stunning with pool and ocean views. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. All and all, three memorable visits.

Accommodations were more than sufficient, but most hotels did not have air conditioning. This wasn't an issue for us as the temperatures cooled down quite a bit at night. With choosing the optional experiences, the itinerary was quite full each day, with downtime only after dinner. We wanted to have full days of exploring so this was great for us, but for those wanting a more laid back tour, this is also possible by booking less of the optional tours.

Interesting trip, full of culture, beautiful scenery, volcanoes and lakes. Learning about the Mayan people. Difficult obtaining a visa for Honduras. The Mayan ruins & the village of Copan was interesting but not sure it’s worth the hassle with the visa! Our guide Miguel was excellent.

This trip was great. It covers a lot, so expect some long drives. Our guide Miguel did a great job, talking about each country with passion and helping out to solve any personal request or issue. Also he was good at finding restaurants. The itinerary is well put together, allthough sometimes you feel you only scratch the surface of a particular country. Border crossings went very well. Swift and professional. Only entering Costa Rica it took an hour. You will get plenty of stamps! Unfortunately we missed an Easter parade in Antigua by one day - I find Explore could have planned differently. Lucklily we also missed the vulcano eruption in Antigua by one day. Our group were 12 people, mostly from the UK - good conversations and interacting between everyone. All in all a great trip that will give a taste of Central America.

Great trip. Full on pace, would have to skip activities to slow down! A cultural and nature trip. Guatemala was my favourite country; the Mayan history and culture. The archeological site at Copan adds to the diversity of experiences on this trip. As well the more recent history of regime change in Nicaragua. The Spanish colonial architecture was highlighted at all destinations, quaint hotels. Nature’s beauty and wild life was showcased throughout. Overall, a diversity of experiences filled the two weeks!
