What people love about Monteverde Tours
- Raft, Hike and Explore Costa Rica
This Tour gave us a good general view of the Arenal Volcano and the Monteverde Cloud Forest areas. Travel between La Fortuna (Arenal) and Santa Elena (Monteverde) and Santa Elana to the Pan American Highway was interesting as the roads were rough and winding. Fortunately the weather was good but the journeys slow and bumpy. The excursion to the Cloud Forest at Monteverde was probably the highlight as we had a good guide that was able to point out several of the local birds by the trail.
- Treasures of Costa Rica
We had a fantastic time in Costa Rica on our TourRadar tour!!! Paola provided fantastic customer service both before and during the trip and was a great help throughout, including in getting our Covid tests scheduled in San Jose so we could get back to the US. Definitely would recommend both TourRadar and Costa Rica!!!!

We were on a tour we booked thru Costco, but managed by Destination Services to Costa Rica. We stayed at the Dreams Las Mareas Resort. We were having some phone problems, but were able to contact Martyn Makepeace. He was there at the resort, and solved our problems. What a nice and friendly man! We appreciated his help. We had also paid for transport to and from Liberia. Our driver, Ignacio, took us both ways. He is FANTASTIC! A great driver, a clean and comfortable vehicle, and his help at the airport really made a difference.! We adore this man, and wish him success in the future!
