What people love about Costa Rica Tours from Liberia
- 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.
- Costa Rica: Wildlife Conservation, Permaculture and Responsible Tourism
I truly found this experience to be life-changing. From the people to the food to the volunteer activities, every aspect of my trip was immersive and beautifully different. GIVE also ensured that all components of volunteering abroad were accounted for, leaving myself and my fellow volunteers the ability to focus on giving back worry-free. I am already planning my next GIVE trip!
- Ultimate Escape
The Ultimate Escape Tour organized by Destination Services was truly magical overview of all Costa Rica has to offer. We thoroughly enjoyed the variety of places this tour provided. I would highly recommend this package for folks visiting Costa Rica for the first time. We saw beaches, rainforests, cloud forests as well as a bit of the Caribbean and Pacific coasts. The variety of plants and animals exceeded our wildest expectations and left us wanting more! It would be helpful to have the details of the hotels and pick up times a little sooner than we received them for planning purposes. Also an extra day at Rincon de La Vieja would be helpful for folks arriving late in the day. There were several interesting activities that looked inviting but due to time constraints we were unable to participate in them. They have been added to the list of things to do on our return visit! Loved the country, the people and the Pura Vida attitude of Costa Rica. Phenomenal trip! I highly recommend this package.
