What people love about Monteverde Tours
- Costa Rica: Monteverde and La Fortuna
Best tour leader. Period
Green world adventures made my trip easy, exciting and stress free! Everything was taken care of for me. I never worried about where I was staying, where I was going or what I was doing. It was perfectly planned out to give the right amount of adventure followed by relaxation. The guides were all amazing. So much kindness and happiness in Costa Rica. I highly recommend this tour!
Raft, Hike and Explore Costa Rica
- Supersaver | Costa Rica Essentials Plus, 8 days
We were on a tour we booked thru Costco, but managed by Destination Services to Costa Rica. We stayed at the Dreams Las Mareas Resort. We were having some phone problems, but were able to contact Martyn Makepeace. He was there at the resort, and solved our problems. What a nice and friendly man! We appreciated his help. We had also paid for transport to and from Liberia. Our driver, Ignacio, took us both ways. He is FANTASTIC! A great driver, a clean and comfortable vehicle, and his help at the airport really made a difference.! We adore this man, and wish him success in the future!
