    This was an amazing trip across Costa Rica. We loved seeing all the different environments, staying at different hotels, taking tours and meeting others along the way during the shared travel. Everything worked perfectly with all tours and transfers being right on time. All the staff we encountered were super polite and friendly. Overall, it was the perfect mix of planned activities and time to chill and relax. Thank you!
