What people love about Costa Rica Tours for Seniors
- Costa Rica Adventure
Great trip. Well organized and run. Our guide, Victor, did a great job. Highly reccomend.
- Costa Rica Adventure (Tortuguero Extension)
Once the tour began, it was great. However, the pre-tour communication was awful, could never get a quick answer or talk to a human.
- Costa Rica Escape
Costa Rica is a magnificently beautiful country. A wonderful place to visit. We traveled on a beautiful new bus complete with WiFi. Jorge, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful as was Roberto, our bus driver. I felt I was in very capable hands throughout the trip. The hotels were very nice and served excellent breakfasts. Optional excursions were excellent. I especially like the hot springs and dinner excursion and the rafting river excursion.
