- SESonia· June 9th, 2024Not worth the money. This tour is a combination of two tours. The second half from Antigua to San Jose is too fast paced, you don't experience any of the countries properly. There are long travel days and then only one day to explore most locations. Save your money and do the trip independently. Hotels don't match the price point, you will have to pay for all optional activities and meals. There is no value for money here. Intrepid seems to be profit focused despite marketing themselves as experience focused. We had two tour leaders, the first was appalling giving us inaccurate information about border crossings. I believe that tour leaders are focused on making commissions out of travellers for optional activities, if this is the case I would question if Intrepid are paying them a fair wage. Being an Australian company I expect better. I have done a few trips with this company and this will be my last.Show more
