What people love about Costa Rica Tours in July
- Basic Costa Rica: Coastlines & Cloud Forests
This was probably the best group tour holiday I’ve had. Yes the accommodation is basic and you only get one meal included, but the guide was amazing and the ensured that we were safe, happy and doing all the activities that we wanted to! He went above and beyond to make sure we experienced Costa Rica to the fullest, from making us local drinks to hunting out sloths for us. Definitely recommend this tour.
- Tropical Costa Rica 5 Days, Short Break
First time using Tourradar and was extremely impressed. Everything ran on time and the vans and shuttles arrived exactly when they were supposed to according to my itinerary. It was so nice to have someone waiting at the airport when I landed and not to have to think about driving in a foreign country for five days. I ate more than I expected. So many meals were included and they are spaced according to the travel schedule to break up the 3 hour ride from one destination to the next. San Jose hotel was a Radisson that was perfectly situated to walk to the main part of the city during daylight hours. (I did take Ubers after dark) The hotel room did have a slight musty smell which I remember experiencing when I stayed at a couple hotels in Houston. Guess it comes with the humidity. The main parts of the hotel did not have that. The bar at the Radisson was very reasonable and the provided breakfast was very good. The resort hotel in the national park was beautiful but the cabins did not have A/C. From what I read, most of the resorts don't have AC in that area. It was very warm sleeping at night but it was only for one night and it was worth it to see a group of monkeys the next morning hanging out in the trees above the pool. Overall, very pleasantly surprised how smooth everything went and I will for future travel deals with Tourradar for my next vacation.
- Classic Costa Rica
Great active tour, well balanced with lots of optional extra activities. Tour guide Imalay was excellent, enthusiastic and had an extensive knowledge of wildlife and Costa Rica. Highly recommend.
