    Amazing Costa Rica - it was exactly as described! So well organised and excellent value for money. The tour isn't a group tour - you share transport between destinations, however it is very much your own holiday and you can do whatever you wish outside of the organised excursions. The hotels were all great and exceeded our expectations. 10/10 would recommend. Everyone in Costa Rica have been super welcoming and friendly. We are both veggies as well and never went hungry!

    We have just returned from Costa Rica having had an amazing tour with Destination Services Costa Rica. The hotels were good especially Las Lagos and Poco a Poca and Pachira Lodge which were excellent and far better than we were expecting. Torteguero was our favourite place and we loved the boat journey. The guide Leo was excellent and friendly and very knowledgeable. The organisation was phenomenal. Every journey the driver was there on time. My only tiny Cristian would be that the timings of the journeys between each hotel were very optimistic and always took a lot longer than advised. I would have preferred to know the worst case scenario and then been pleasantly surprised if we got there earlier. Overall though the service the guides the hotels were excellent.I felt we got great value for money. The country is beautiful the wildlife amazing and I would highly recommend this tour and this company to others.
