- TCTsui Chern· December 31st, 2023The tour agent, Destination Services provided timely communication. They were responsive on the platform and over emails. Overall, the entire tour was well organized, transportation were timely (barring traffic conditions), and hotels were generally good quality. We got a whirlwind taste of Costa Rica over the week. There is a lot of driving involved from location to location ranging from 3.5 hrs to 6.5 hrs. Since traveling took up such a large part of the day, it felt like a "wasted" day. The stop at Monteverde was short, giving only about a true half day at the location. The stops at La Fortuna and Manual Antonio provided more time to see the area. We stayed an extra day in San Jose to explore the city. The whole tour went well, without any issues.Show more
Trip date: December 2023 - Kendra· November 26th, 2023A few details that were overlooked in the communication process forced me to book a room independent of the tour the last 3 days, which was a little expensive and frustrating. The route of the tour was amazing. Got to see so many amazing things.Show moreDestination Services Costa Rica commented on this reviewThank you very much for your feedback!

- LGLouise Angela· April 30th, 2022Nice hotels and comfortable transportation that was more than punctual. Everything ran according to plan.

- aschulze@incentrev.com· August 7th, 2021I didn't take any tour. I was told in writing that I would get a 100% refund on tour bookings as long as 24-hour notice was provided. I had to cancel due to passport issues. Now, the company is not refunding my money and even my booking agent suggested that I dispute/chargeback the transactions with my bank. That will be done! Do not book with this company... they just might try and STEAL your money.Show moreDestination Services Costa Rica commented on this reviewSo sorry you had some problems with your passport.
