Customer Reviews

  • Essential Costa Rica reviewer 1
    · February 23rd, 2024
    Our guide, Alejandro Rodriguez, was fabulous - knowledgeable, articulate, courteous, energetic, and fun - but not everything on the tour was at the same level. Two of the four hotels we used did not have hot water. One of the hotels was very noisy and seemed more like a hostel than an actual hotel. The tours included with the package were of limited value (especially the night walk, which was not good). And, most importantly, booking of optional tours was less than optimal. Instead of enabling us to select and book the optional activities in advance, we were required to tell our guide the day before each activity. This led to a frantic scramble when one of the optional activities was sold out and we could not find an alternative. Our guide solved the problem (we unexpectedly received a private tour), but the situation could have been avoided had we been able to book in advance.
