Laura· March 21st, 2024our intrepid guide was so informative and helpful. the whole experience was just wonderful. A nice sampling of several areas of the countryShow moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Laura, thank you for your great review! We are so glad you had a wonderful time in Costa Rica, a truly beautiful place :)Trip date: March 2024- RRRaksha· January 7th, 2024The Costa Rica Experience via Interpid gets very expensive. A lot of things aren’t covered daily and you paying more out of pocket. The home stay experience is a bit too much and not the best experience. I’d prefer may be to visit but not stay and do nothing for the whole day. I used to like Interpid but I feel they might have become too corporate and are compromising the actual experience for tourist. Costa Rica as a country is beautiful. I wish the iteneray was better and got more for what you already paid for. Some days we even paid for transportation. Ridiculous.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Raksha, thanks for your honest review of your Costa Rica trip.
