    Everything went smoothly, better than expected. The guides in the national parks were amazing- knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble.Using their telescope to spot and watch wildlife was a highlight. The itinerary was well balanced, from tropical dry forest and fumaroles to elevated cloud forest , mangroves and beaches. Seeing resplendent quetzals and sloths was a real thrill. It was an incredible trip. My only criticisms would be lack of information beforehand via the app. We did ask to add extra optional tours which would have required more time to sort out, but it would have been reassuring to have questions answered more fully via the messaging in the app. For example I didn’t know how we would be notified re pickups etc. A simple message re you will receive a detailed itinerary online would have helped. This was sent a few hours before we flew. We were met by the driver with a print out on landing. The other issue. Not enough time was allowed to transfer from Monteverde to Manuel Antonio. We were late arriving and our tour guide for the park had left. It was only the help of the hotel reception making a call, that we he guide kindly returned for us.

    Destination Services Costa Rica is a smaller company and I couldn't find out allot about them, but their Exotic Costa Rica tour lined up better with what we were hoping to see on our visit. Communication was not direct, so I didn't always feel we were on the same page. In the end, EVERYTHING was line up in a wonderful manner .....accomdations; tours; and transfers! Transfers were not only on time.... they were there early. All accommodations were in nice condition overall, and staff were very accommodating. You will not have a tour leader or guide that stays with you through the trip. However, in all instances the hotels had all the information on what, where, and when for us. I would certainly travel through them again, and recommend you to consider Destination Services Costa Rica on your journey to Costa Rice!

    Everyone was so knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We learned so much and enjoyed meeting everyone, especially Carlos, Freddy, Hector, and Kevin. (My apologies for names I may have missed.) Our drivers were prompt and friendly, educating us about the beautiful country as we traveled to our destination. Thanks so much for the amazing experience. We will definitely recommend your services to family and friends!

    We were delayed a couple of times in getting to Costa Rica and our tour operator, Roy, was extremely accommodating of the changes. The trip was partially guided, so though lodging and transportation were covered there were a few days where I could have used help coordinating afternoon activities.
