What people love about Monteverde Tours
- 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!!!!
- Supersaver | Costa Rica Essentials Plus, 8 days
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!
- Costa Rica: Hike, Bike & Raft
A very nice sampling of Costa Rica: cloud forest, volcano, Caribbean beach. The tour guide, Jonathann was excellent. Good for those looking for moderate physical activity: some white water rafting, biking, hiking, with options for more (zip line, etc), a visit to a wildlife sanctuary, waterfall swim, more. Travel between was by public buses, hotels were clean, comfortable, modest. Small group size, international mix of travelers.
