- JPJolene· April 3rd, 2025It was a perfect introduction to Costa Rica. In other reviews, I noticed that some felt that there should have been more meals and excursions included in the price. I thought that the amount was fair. It allowed us time to choose excursions that were of interest to us and to eat what, when and with whom we wanted. I preferred the mix of flexibility and structure. And for everything we did, the pace was excellent as well.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Jolene, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us on your Classic Costa Rica trip.

- RPRoy· March 17th, 2025The tour and guide were excellent. For me, the trip should have been more clear on the physical requirements of the trip. The information indicated it was ok for those up to the age of 99, and while I’m not there yet the physical requirements were such that a warning of being in very good condition should have been listed in the brochure.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewThank you Roy, for taking the time to submit your review of your trip to Costa Rica!

- Bill· February 10th, 2025We had a wonder time. Enjoyed everybody's friendship and I can't say enough about our leader Marvin Lopez. It's apparent that Marvin hasgone out of his way to become knowledgeable in every aspect of our travels including the knowledge to answer every question. Marvin has made friends with local resident contacts and it's obvious that you are respected by them. Knowing you have not done this, not just for us but for all of the many tours you have lead, indicated you are willing to go above and beyond the call of duty for all those who have been recipients of your excellent service and dedication.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Bill, thank you for your kind review!
