What people love about Monteverde Tours
- 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!
- Mystic Waterfalls & Forests Of Costa Rica
Overall well thought out and experiences were awesome! We encountered a problem where the transportation operator just didn't show up when we were leaving our first resort. I messaged Victoria, our tour contact, and she responded right away and got us a different transportation company to pick us up but it was 2-2.5 hours later than we originally had planned. It was inconvenient, we woke up early and ate breakfast early so we could check out and we missed out on some Monteverde exploring. Other than that everything went well. Be advised
- 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.
