    We toured the Natural Wonders of Costa Rica this past July 2024. Our tour guide was Alan Rodriguez Nunez. Alan was an excellent guide. He is a walking encyclopedia, and everything he showed us included interesting facts, ie the type of birds he could identify just by sound and the local flora by its genus name. The tour itself was not too restrictive of a schedule as we were given ample time to choose where to eat for the dinners that were not included in the package. We were also able to shop for souvenirs at several shops. Alan always asked what we would like to do and checked that we were happy, he made sure we were never hungry asking when we would like lunch and dinner. Our bus driver, Raul was also excellent. Raul traversed the winding mountain roads with ease and it was comforting that he was at the wheel. Not having to worry about our itinerary and transportation was a great benefit of this vacation. Driving in Costa Rica is an adventure in itself. Since we had Alan and Raul to worry about the details of the tour, we were able to enjoy our vacation thoroughly and highly recommend this tour. In 10 days, we felt that we saw all the diverse regions of this country.

    We had a great trip. Everything went according to plan. Our guide (Gerardo Zamora Diaz) did an excellent job. He is very knowledgeable, is a great communicator, and went above and beyond with his time and helpfulness. He created a group Whatsapp page where we could share photos and keep track of each other. This quickly helped build group comraderie and cohesion which added to the positive experience.

    A very thorough and varied tour that delivered good value for the cost. Our VERY KNOWLEGEABLE (and entertaining) tour guide Leonardo called his fourteen charges (us) his "family" and did a capable job organizing a group that presented numerous challenges (age of members, health issues, hearing miscommunications, various preferences for activies, etc) with good humor and charm. The hotels were beautiful, comfortable, and situated in areas where the splendor of the natural environment surrounded us. The food was good, although the variety was sometimes lacking. The buses were comfortable, although I'd suggest, at least for long trips, a bus with a rest room for older tourists. However, the cautious workaround - mid-trip stops for bathroom breaks - worked fine for me. When a member of our group fell ill with a minor bug, Leonardo when out of his way to deliver the resources to help him recover quickly. I was highly pleased with the "Natural Wonders" tour and have recommended it to friends.

    Leonardo was an excellent tour guide! His knowledge of the country, wildlife and vegetation was exceptional! The group size (14) made it so easy to get to know our fellow passengers! John & Lisa Brennan
