Reviews of Central America Family Tours
- Costa Rica Family Experience
Great experience! Packed a lot in.
- Family Costa Rica Rainforest and Wildlife Adventure
It is a wonderful trip but I would suggest spend a bit less time doing the city trips and a bit more time at the wildlife areas as they were the star and the city trips were much less interesting.
