What people love about Costa Rica Tours from Liberia
- Mystic Waterfalls & Forests Of Costa Rica
Overall well thought out and experiences were awesome! We encountered a problem where the transportation operator just didn't show up when we were leaving our first resort. I messaged Victoria, our tour contact, and she responded right away and got us a different transportation company to pick us up but it was 2-2.5 hours later than we originally had planned. It was inconvenient, we woke up early and ate breakfast early so we could check out and we missed out on some Monteverde exploring. Other than that everything went well. Be advised
- Exotic Costa Rica
Before during and after our trip we have received full support from the Destination Service team in San Jose. They have give us a lot of information adapting into the tour all our requirements, top service.

Esteban was an excellent guide. It was enjoyable to have a guide native to Costa Rica. I don’t think we could have had a better guide!
