    This was a total enjoyment, stress-free holiday! The trip was very well-organized. It was so wonderful to have all of our transports, lodging, and activities arranged. All the transports, rooms, and resorts were spotless, comfortable, and beautiful. Truly exceeded my expectations. It was an unforgettable holiday. I have 2 suggestions: 1) Include Day 5 on the print-out itinerary. 2) Provide a better explanation of the travel involved on day 6 from Tortuguero to Puerto Viejo (e.g. explain that after a 2 hour boat ride and 2 hour transport, you will take another 5 hour transport to Puerto Viejo).

    Well organized, timely pick ups from the hotels, tour guides are very knowledgeable, timely communication with tour agency, hotels via WhatsApp and TourRadar message box. Tour itself was very interesting, informative, particularly for nature lovers. Monkeys, snakes, caimans, birds, iguanas, etc - all in proximity, however you are safe because the tour guide is with you. Tours are adjusted and conducted according to weather conditions, so you will not miss it. Thank you.

    "We were extremely pleased with the TourRadar package we purchased to tour Costa Rica. From the time we were picked up at the airport to our departure, we felt well taken care of. We were very pleased with the accommodations, food and the timeliness of the van drivers. We especially enjoyed our tour guides in Arenal (Marlon), and Tortuguero (Ronny Zuniga and Harvey Valentine) as well as in Cahuita (Rudolfo). Their extensive knowledge of the parks, the local flora and fauna and Costa Rica in general was very impressive. Their language skills and their sense of humor added so much to the experience. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see that beautiful country."

    I had a great time the tourist service that accompanied my trip was amazing hotel stay was great people were warm and welcoming amazing food nature wildlife and culture overall. I didnt get to do everything I hoped to example snorkeling cause of the rain but we cannot control nature and I was waiting for my transport to take me back from one of my stays but did not show up and had to wait hours for the next one. The tourist agent acted immediately and booked me another one. All and all I had a great time and looking to book this experience for touring purposes again.
