    We had a wonderful experience with Destination services in Costa Rica. The tour was very well organized and the travel representatives continued providing updates, asking for any requirements all throughout the trip. Especially, I want to mention the name of our guide Sebastian who is an excellent person and went above and beyond to making our trip smooth. Thank you so much!

    Great tour, well organised, super easy way to look at Costa Rica with no hassels. Tours terrific, guides great. Accomodation superb. Would highly recommend. Saw over 50 birds, 2 kinds of sloths, 3 different Toucans, monkeys, snakes, frogs. Couldn't have been a better nature experience.

    We enjoyed it tremendously. It was good value for top quality (hotels, meals, transportation). It was nice that everything was planned and organized for us. A truly easy way to travel and see the sights (natural wonders such as waterfalls, volcanoes, rainforests, wildlife).

    Very nice and efficient tour of the more exciting cities in Costa Rica. Very high level hotels. Greatly organized transportation transfers from location to location. Well organized tours. However, one of the tours forgot to pick us up, and after an hour of waiting we were assigned to another tour with the same plan. Usually we were picked even few minutes before the due time. We highly recommend TourRadar.

    Arenal was clouded over--no fault of any tour. Three hours at the hot springs was too long for me, but the others enjoyed it. Food was good. The boat tour through the byways of Tortuguero was enjoyable. The woodcarving village was interesting, but we weren't shown where in/near the shop the factory was.
