    Asked on June 18th, 2024

    Can you provide transport to Liberia instead of San Jose at the end of the trip?

  • M

    Maria

    Asked on December 23rd, 2023

    Can we receive a quote for a tour with arrival on Jan 5th for a 10 day's tour. I want to know what is included and excluded (hotels types, tours, transport, entrance fees, etc,). Which tax is included and which ones still needs to be paid. Is the pick-up at the airport and hotel on the 1st day included? Can we leave some luggage at the first hotel or in your office and pick it up again once departing? We are vegetarians/non alcoholic and would there be an issue for breakfast/lunch/dinner which are included in the cost? We are interested in this tour and would appreciate any additional discount for 2 persons on top of the present one. What are the payment options? I prefer a pre-payment of 20% and the remaining amount in cash on arrival on Jan 5th.

      You can follow the link to choose the room category and the system will provide you the best price possible. All the itineraries need to be full prepayment before the travel day, we don't accept cash directly in the destiny. We can advise the hotels about your food restrictions. Transportation service from/to the airport is already included in the cost of the itinerary.
