Kate B. | Traveled in May
Great trip that covered key highlights of Costa Rica. Tour manager was phenomenal, extremely knowledgable. Hotels used were very good and transport provided was a great standard with an exceptional driver. Couldn’t fault the trip or service provided.
Anonymous | Traveled in April
This tour was amazing. Costa Rica is simply one of the most beautiful places on Earth. The tour director made us feel like family, and had so much enthusiasm for every detail. The hotels were deluxe and the food delicious. We learned so much from the tour director’s extensive knowledge which she was happy to share. You should be in good physical condition for this tour, and be prepared for a lot of local tipping. We did appreciate that most all the meals were included (Top Rate Meals), which meant very few extra expenses. My favorite tour to date. Has everything from deep jungle to ocean beaches.
Yvonne M. | Traveled in April
This was an incredible way to experience Costa Rica. There’s no way we could have seen and done so much on our own—being part of the tour made all the difference. Our tour guide was outstanding, and our driver was equally amazing, getting us everywhere safely with impressive skill. Navigating the narrow roads and tucked-away spots in the forest was truly remarkable. I highly recommend this trip to anyone considering it!
Pamela C. | Traveled in April
Costa Rica surpassed all my expectations! I would have never thought there was a resort inside a jungle that takes one, a long boat ride to get to! The people I met, starting at the airports all the way back to the airport and all those in between were excellently trained, prepared and very knowledgeable! Very kind!!! I learned so much regarding natural resources and the environment. Learning about and meeting the good people who reside in Costa Rica! Thank you for offering a really detailed and informative tour!
