    Vacation Reviews

    Everything was GREAT. Transportation for connections to the different cities and varying activities was done promptly and courteously. All the provided meals were delicious. The accomodations were amazing. The tour guides were knowledgeable and informative. My only suggestion would be that the zipline activity provide a practice run before participating in this activity. Overall, this vacation was a great way to experience this country. Our family really fell in love with Costa Rica and truly appreciated the all services that we were provided with.
    Review Provided by: Bill Lanham who traveled on 10/5/2008
    We had a great time in Costa Rica. Words don't really express how beautiful the country is. This tour gave us a chance to see very different parts of the country--the rain forest along the Caribbean coast, the Arenal Volcano, the cloud forests near Monteverde. We added three nights in Manual Antonio so we got to see the Pacific coast, too. The hotels were all very nice. All the arrangements for transportation worked out very smoothly. It was wonderful!
    Review Provided by: Carol Feider who traveled on 1/21/2007
    Despite the rainy season weather we really enjoyed our time in Costa Rica. Our arriving flight was diverted overnight and when we finally showed up in San Jose the next day, all the arrangements have been taken care of. It was great not to worry about anything. We picked the cheapest accomodations but they were amazing and can easily stand up to some 3 and even 4 star hotels in US. We found the two forest tours in Montevideo a bit repetitive and would have preferred a cannopy tour instead. I would also advise to think twice about visiting a rainforest in a rainy season. Overall we had a great time and can't wait to visit the country again (this time in a dry season).
