COSTA RICA tour vacation adventure travel references

Hello,

Finally back home and getting back to normal. We had a
fantastic time. The Tortuga Island tour was
outstanding and our favorite part.
Thank you for being so flexible and working with my
last minute trip there. Lot's of flight attendants
(and pilots) want to know about the trip, and I'll
send them your way.

Thanks again,

John Cronin

I'm sorry to take so long to say this, we got back from Costa Rica on April 5th. We had such a great time. Everything was perfect, your destinations, hotels and guides and drivers were wonderful. Everything went perfectly and I will definitely call you again WHEN we go back to Costa Rica.

Nidia,

I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time in Costa Rica. The
country, and the people were an absolute joy. It could not have been better
(unless we could have stayed longer). All of the accommodations were well
kept, and well staffed. All the transfers went smoothly. Miguel, and
Rafael were both kind, helpful, and informative. Ironically, the hotel that
we wanted least, Costa Verde, ended up being our favorite place. We were
able to book all of the excursions, tours, and side trips that we wanted to
go on with ease at all of the hotels that we stayed at.

It was such a gorgeous country. It was truly unlike any other place that I
have visited. Thank you sooo much. Absolutely an outstanding adventure.

We are just about to go to the Airport to return to Florida...unfortunately! What an absolutely wonderful trip! Everything went like clock work and usually our trips have some crazy thing go wrong...but not this one. The Volcano was awesome and extremely interesting...we could even hear and see the boulders coming out of it and down the side. The hot springs was perfectly timed after the Volcano hike. The zip line at MonteVerde was so cool and the canopy just beautiful. My 15 yr. old son learned to surf on our free day at the beach in Manual Antonio. I can highly recommend Manual Antonio Surf School near Verde Mar Hotel if you ever have clients that want to surf. We loved the coast and will definatley come back soon. Also, the people were just wonderful everywhere we went and the country side extremely beautiful. Your planning and coordination was just spactacular!! I am sorry to hear that your grandmother is ill. I called Gustavo to also thank him.

Hi Bert,
The tour was alot of fun and the took great care to make sure everyone was safe. Alex and Ceasar were my guides and I would recommend them to anyone. The lunch was good and well presented. Most everyone ordered off the Steakhouse menu and said the food was fantastic.ted with that. I was lucky because I had my camera and Alex took many pictures of me and the group as we were making our way down the zip lines. Thanks again for your help setting it up on short notice. It was really fun!!

We arrived home last night after a wonderful trip to your country. We would like to thank you for arranging all of the details -- everything was great. All of our drivers met us on time, and were very courteous and helpful. You kept in our budget and yet each hotel got better and better! We loved Monteverde. The De Lucia Inn was a lovely refuge -- and their restaurant's food DELICIOUS! Costa Verde Inn was a great way to end the trip -- because travel in the mountains takes it toll! We all had a blast and loved the pace of the trip.

We will recommend you to all of our friends! We talked to many people traveling through Arenal, Monteverde and Manuel Antonio. We made notes of other places they recommended -- so now we have another trip to look forward to.

Nidia, Just wanted to Thank you so very much for the wonderful trip!!!!!!!!!!! Everything was smooth and very nice. All the people you have do a great job. Let me know how I can recommend your company. I have already told several flight attendants that did not know. Thanks again Michele Yant and Party, m_yant@adelphia.net, USA.

Hello Nidia, Just go back late yesterday and I wanted to drop you a line to say it was a fabulous vacation and we had a lovely time. The hotels, tours, itinerary and adventure were excellent. Thanks for all your help. I will definitely recommend you, the tour and the vacation to family and friends.

Hello Nidia, Thank you, and my thank-you is for the fantastic service we experienced before and during our trip to Costa Rica. We are 110% satisfied, because 100% is not enough to describer how happy we are with your service.

Guides: Very Friendly, Caring and all of them had deep knowledge of Plants, Animals and Natural Phenomenon of the Rain Forest

Please thank all your associates in Costa Rica for making our trip Memorable, Pleasant and Comfortable. Please feel free to give my phone number to your potential customers for reference.

Hi Nidia and Bert, I got back from Costa Rica yesterday. I wanted to thank you guys for setting everything up for us! We had a great time, met some really nice people and didn't have to worry about anything while we were there. Thank you! -Emily Appler

Dear Nidia, A special thinks for all you did and tolerated to get our group to Costa Rica!! Everything was wonderful, especially the Punta Marenco Lodge (I could live there and be happy).

I know that we were a bit "trying," but you and your organization were exceptional! Some in our group were obviously nervous about travel, but you tolerated us novices so well. The drivers were always on time and professional. The guides were very well-informed. All staff in the hotels were great!

Nidia,
I must tell you that my friend and I had an amazing time in Costa Rica!!
What a beautiful country and such friendly people! The best part has to
have been the zip-line tour in Monteverde and the warm ocean beach at
Manuel Antonio. Next time I will certainly spend more time at the
beach! The accommodations were amazing! The accommodations were
great! Gustavo was a great driver--I wish we could have had him all
week! Manuel was nice, but drove a little crazy....although, most
people do in Costa Rica! Thank you for putting together such a great
trip! My friend and I are already thinking about going back next year,
and will certainly ask you for help in planning again!

Nidia, Just wanted to thank you so much for coordinating a wonderful and trouble free vacation. Every vendor showed up promptly and provided a wonderful experience. Thanks so much for all you did to make our vacation so memorable!!

Bert and Nidia, I planned to write to you earlier but we have been busy since we got back. We enjoyed our trip and everything came off like clockwork.

The Lost Iguana is great and we would go back and recommend it to friends. Tabacon was amazing. Would like to have done it in the day time. Arenal was amazing, both at night and in the day time. We would have liked to have gotten closer but we understood.

All in all, good value for the money and like I said, there were no hitches with the arrangements, they came off smooth as silk.

First of all, I want to thank you for assisting me with my recent trip to San Jose, Costa Rica. I am always quick to write bad reviews but not always quick to send great reviews so I wanted to send an email and tell you both thank you. The trip was absolutely wonderful and my mamma and I had a beautiful time. The Hacienda Pozo Azul group were absolutely wonderful and our driver was the utmost gentleman and was very helpful. There was a gentleman named Roberto who guided me on the horseback riding tour and the water rafting and I want to make sure it gets back to his boss and or him that he was wonderful. He is very knowledgeable of the ecosystem, the plants, and animals and it was truly a relaxing and educational experience that was not only enjoyable as a tourist, but educational for someone who has a deep respect for the environment that we live in. The safety measures that were taken during both the horseback riding and the water rafting trips were truly impressive. I felt totally safe and at ease and never once came across a negative thought. The facilities were clean and the food was quite enjoyable. The staff were fun and energetic and they were great. I believe that the people that we were surrounded by truly made our trip more enjoyable because they had such a passion and energy for their country and the jobs they performed. If you are unable to get in contact with Roberto directly (forgive me I don’t have his last name) can you provide me with the website to the group so that I can make sure they receive my comments? I can’t reiterate how great they were. My mamma is 64 years old and although she was nervous about the rafting and horses, the security measures provided kept her at ease and she said that that was the most fun she had in years. My dad is so jealous of our trip that he is looking for someone to go with him and he wants to book the same exact trip through your agency.

The second trip to Punta Leona along the coast was also beautiful and relaxing after a long day. Our driver and tour guide Maxwell was so awesome and hilarious I couldn’t imagine going on any other trip without his presence. He explained all the sites to us and his English was very good. He told us he had recently completed an English course and it very well showed. He had a great sense of humor and had us laughing the whole time. He was patient and very informative. I don’t know if he works for Costa Rica Tours directly or with the crocodile tour agency, but he truly needs to be congratulated on a job well done. The food was really good and I love the fact that we were able to see true Costa Rican life rather than usual touristy places. The crocodile tour was amusing and exhilarating and the Punta Leona Beach was clean and pleasant.

I will truly recommend your agency to all of my friends and I can tell you already that my father plans to book a tour with your team.Thanks

Bert and Nidia,

I just wanted to email you and tell you how much fun we had on our
vacation. I can honestly say that it was the most fun we've ever had!
Every day seemed to be better than the day before! The boys really
enjoyed every activity we did (even the butterfly farm was fun to them!).
The Lomas del Volcan was the most amazing place we've ever stayed. We
loved the cabins, the restaurant was good, and the people were really nice.
The Heliconia was a different matter. We were in the newest section (we
might have been the first people to stay in this section), which was at
the top of the mountain. The climb to get to the room was overwhelming
at times. They had not completed a walkway or stairs at the very top,
so we were scrambling up and down a dirt hill (wasn't too bad until it
rained). We never had hot water in the showers. That was a little
frustrating and very cold. We loved Monteverde a lot and found a really
nice restaurant, La Palermo, across the street from the hotel. We ate
there almost every night. The canopy tour was great!
The hotel at the beach (Villa del Sueno) was really nice and their
restaurant was amazing. We did a snorkeling trip and a riverboat trip.
Both were great.
The guides who transported us places were wonderful. They were all
friendly and very kind.
I knew that this would be a once-in-a-lifetime vacation and it exceeded
all our expectations. I really appreciate the time and effort you
invested in making this a great experience. I will recommend you to all
my friends. Costa Rica was amazing!
Sincerely,
Mary Prine prine2@alltel.net

After 1 fantastic month in Costa Rica, we’re now back in Denmark, where the winter is cold, wet and grey.
We MISS Costa Rica!!!! And we want to go back as soon as possible!

Thank you for a fantastic tour! Your boss can be proud of you!

The tour planned by you was excellent – everything just worked out precisely as agreed with you. Everything was ready for us, when we arrived in the different spots, which amazed us having the Costa Rican “Pura Vida” in mind.
From our travel-experience in fx. Spain, we’re used to the expression “mañana” which means that everything will be done tomorrow or another day – in Costa Rica even appointments at 6 AM was held – we didn’t have to wait for anything.

And then the people and nature – it is gorgeous!!
We have never in our holidays met so many nice people (both native and tourists), seen so many different animals or experienced such varieties in nature.
Weather-wise we had both rain and hot summer, which were great! It was raining in the cloud- and rainforest and the sun was shining from a blue sky at the beaches – exactly as we had hoped for.

If you ever need contacts in Denmark to recommend your company, please feel free to contact us.

Lots of regards,
Marianne Brodam

We just returned from a seven day vacation to Costa Rica which was a custom itinerary set up by your company. I just have to write to you to tell you how perfectly everything went. We visited three regions of Costa Rica which required us to stay in four different motels. The motels selected by you were wonderful and they were expecting us and ready for us. Your drivers met us for every move and were on time every time. They were knowledgeable and courteous. I wish to thank you for the wonderful service you provide and I would recommend you to anyone wanting to visit Costa Rica.

The trip went well. Thanks again for the excellent arrangements.
Tom Kolb

I recently booked tours to Tortuguero and Arenal with you. Both tours were totally enjoyable and well worth the money. Everything was well organized, the tour guides were very good and the meals were beyond our expectations.

12-25-05 Bert, we were able to raft the Pascua as promised. It was a great day! Thanks for making it happen.

Dear Nidia,
We want to thank you for organizing our trip. We did arrive in enough time
to catch our return flight home. The entire trip went very smoothly. Even
though we have never traveled before without our own car, we were very happy
with the trip. All the drivers were on time and were pleasant company. We did
end up adding a few activities when we had free time ( horseback riding in
Arenal and a night tour in Monteverde. In Monteverde we also went to the
Ranario and the Insect Museum on the recommendation of our hotel.) We also
enjoyed Manuel Antonio even though our friend told us she would have stayed in
Monteverde longer and skipped MA. I am glad we listened to you instead.
Overall
we thoroughly enjoyed our trip and plan on returning again, hopefully
next year.
In fact our daughter loved Costa Rica so much she wants to work in Monteverde
during her college summer break. She has a list of contacts already.

Hi Nidia: We had a great time. The weather was bad at Arenal & Monteverde But Quepos was just wonderful. All the hotels were marvelous. Gustavo did a wonderful job as our guide and was very accommodating to our needs. Just one piece of information for future. The hotels don’t change currency and they don’t carry any cash either. And you do need colonias in small denominations for tips, taxis, etc. That was the only problem we encountered. Thanks for your help. Hope you had a good Christmas. Happy New Year to you!

Thank you so much for a great trip. My son, Eric, said it was the best trip he has ever been on (and I think I agree with him!) Everything went extremely smoothly and the drivers were very nice. It was worth waiting a year to get the places that we wanted to stay. We got lucky in lots of ways - Corcovado National Park opened the day we got there after being closed for two weeks, we had a day of seeing Arenal, and we saw two Quetzals in Monteverde. We added a tour to the Biological Preserve there that we hadn't planned to do ahead of time.

Our trip was FANTASTIC! Things ran like clockwork as far as drivers picking us up for our various transportation needs, as well as the tour operators picking us up for that day's adventure.

Tulemar, nothing like the view from the restaurant or from our bungalow. As for the beach at Tulemar, when we toured Manuel Antonio we decided "our" beach was almost as beautiful but without the crowds.

The jeep trip from Lake Arenal to Monteverde was equally adventurous, and our children especially enjoyed the "store" by the shore of Lake Arenal where they were forced to use their Spanish to inquire about their purchases and candy bars.

Your country is beautiful, we LOVED the cosada lunches, and enjoyed learning about lifestyles from the various drivers and tour guides, as well as all the tours we went on.

Returning to work is always stressful, but my memories of our first trip to Costa Rica sustains me and brightens my day.

Thank you for the wonderful itinerary you put together for us - it couldn't have been any better, especially for a one-week visit. We were thrilled to see the different areas of Costa Rica--San Jose, Arenal, Monte Verde, and Manuel Antonio. We were pleased that all the hotels were in my Frommer's 2005 book! The activities that we were scheduled for went like clock work - we were always picked up on time, the tour guides were professional and very enthusiatic about their work, and our day ended with pleasant and fun memories. I definately hope to return to C.R., and hopefully I will grasp more of the Spanish language.

Hi Nidia, as you know we have returned from our trip. I didn't get your message until we returned. But all is well that ends well. Gustavo picked us up exactly at 9:00 am and we were on our way. We loved Costa Rica and one of the reasons was your tour company. We were picked up exactly on time and loved our tours (especially the canopy tour). I want to commend your company on the excellent job they do - we were very impressed. It is without a doubt, the most organized tour company we have ever used. Hotel Vela Fonda was beautiful and their restaurant was great. Gustavo, our driver for the long drives could not have been better. He is an excellent communicator and driver. Thank you for making our Costa Rica experience one without any stress. Is Costa Rica the only country you provide tours for?

Hola Nidia,
Thanks so much for your assistance in setting up the transportation, accommodations, and Aranal tour for our first night in Costa Rica. Everything was perfect.
Gustavo was at the airport when we arrived the Country Inn was a beautiful hotel and check was easy. The hot springs were awesome and dinner was as well. We saw the glow of the lava on Arenal and Gustavo was a fantastic guide who answered any questions we had. From San Jose we traveled to Drake Bay and spent the week exploring the rainforest and ocean. It was a terrific vacation and my son Brandon and I both want to return soon.

Thanks again and Pura Vida!

Hi Nidia Thank you to you and your team for all your hard work our wedding day was
truly fantastic and the memories will stay with us for life. We will have
no hesitation in recommending you to any of our friends as you took all the
worry and planning and handled it all exceptionally well. Costa Rica was
a beautiful place to get married our memories and pictures are first class
and the whole experience was very magical.

Special thanks to Vicky and her assistance for their help on the day, the
lawyer was great, would it be possible to have a copy of the words of the
ceremony that he read as they were very meaningful.
We tried to e-mail some pictures of the wedding but they are far to big to
attach, would you like us to send you a cd with them on? if so what address
would you like them send to? We are now looking to re-locate to Costa Rica
on a permanent basis and hope to set up a small B&B/Hotel business in Jaco.

Once again thanks for all of your hard work, keep in touch

Best wishes
Ian and Tina

My father and I enjoyed the tours. I am looking forward to visiting Costa Rica again. I will definitely recommend your tour service to any of my colleagues that may be traveling there in the future. Warm regards,

I want to thank you and the people who work with you for the most wonderful trip to Costa Rica in September. You run a first class tour business.You responded to my first email in a timely manner, all the tour guides arrived right on time at my hotel, they where very knowledgeable about the sites I visited, the mountain biking was incredible, the rainforests where spectacular, and Costa Rican people were very helpful Thank you again. Please let everyone you worked with booking my trip how wonderful there service was.

Nidia,

I just wanted to thank you very much for the fabulous time I had in your
beautiful Costa Rica. What a lovely place it is, very similar to New
Zealand (where I am originally from), and each area is so different from
each other. Everything went according to plan and I had no problems. The
hotels at Monteverde & Manual Antonio were lovely.

I also want to thank my driver, Gustavo. He was such a pleasure to be with
and explained along the way all about Costa Rica etc. Please pass on my
sincere thanks to him, you have a good person there. He was very kind and
considerate.

I will most certainly travel back to your country, but I would like to go
probably around the end of March to get the feel of "summer", and stay more
in Monteverde and travel south.

All I have now are lovely memories and beautiful photos. My sincere thanks
to you for making my trip more than I expected.

Thank you.

We just returned from a trip to Costa Rica with the American Airlines group (AMR Travel Club). I just wanted to thank you for helping coordinate our tour. The trip was wonderful and enjoyed by all.

I especially wanted you to know that our guide, Ronnie, was truly outstanding. He and his assistant, Omar, were very well organized, extremely knowledgeable, great fun - and they made the trip a big success.

Nidia (08-24-04) Thanks for organizing the trips - great fun and just what we wanted! Paul Mercer (U.S.A.)

Dear Nidia-
We got back from Costa Rica on Friday night, and I just had to tell you what
a FABULOUS time we had. From the hotels to the activities it was all
perfect! Gustavo, our driver was terrific and we were so glad he was with us
for all our transporting!
Each night we drank a toast to you for arranging everything and having it
all go so smoothly. I am recommending you to EVERYONE I know!

The ONLY thing I would suggest for the future is that you let people know
about the $26.00 per person airport departure tax and the fact that they
ONLY accept cash or VISA.. I did not have either (I use MasterCard) and
luckily, I was able to borrow it from my brother-in -law.
Other than that it was the perfect vacation..for kids AND adults!!!!
Thanks again,
Jane and all of our family- jmatlaw@bidmc.harvard.edu

Nidia,

I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you what a great trip I had to Costa Rica. The country was beautiful and the people were very friendly and helpful. It was a fabulous experience. I want to get pricing for my family vacation next year (2005). Thanks for all your help.

Everything about the trip, including your services, "Exceeded Our Expectations!" We will be glad to serve as references for other Costa Rica adventurers that are considering Costa Rica Tours. Thanks!

Bert, I wanted to thank you for the most wonderful vacation we have ever had. The Costa Rican people are so nice...we want to sell everything we own and move down there, SERIOUSLY. We need to buy some prime land and then when the kids leave, build on it...

After being there for a week, it is really hard to come back here to Houston....And guess what I forgot? Coffee!!!! Could you grab me a package of coffee from the airport and put it in Jeff Ensley's room for me? I need it for a present for a friend..I forgot to get it. Thanks again for an awesome time and making it a vacation we will always treasure..

Becky Robertson, Houston Texas

lator. We saw Irazu and its green pool, the orchid gardens of Barboza and Arturo at Valle Escondido and many others that happened to be by the roadside. We are already thinking of Tortugero and Valle Escondido for next year. We loved the food, friendliness and even the zip lines. Thank you for putting together the perfect orchid and sightseeing and even birding adventure. I would recommend you anytime!!!

To: Costa Rica Tours Nidia, We just wanted to say thank you for all your help making the bachelor party such a success. Everything went smoothly; not a single hitch in the entire trip. You guys are great.

Sorry not to have contacted you sooner to thank you for organising our trip to Costa Rica.

We were extremely impressed with all aspects of the organization and everything worked according to plan. The accommodation was excellent and transport and trips were first class. Throughout our visit we found people very friendly and helpful and guides were particularly knowledgeable. This was our first taste of Central America and from our experience on this trip we could easily be tempted back. Overall it exceeded our expectations and we would have no hesitation in recommending friends to use your company.

Nidia, Thank you for wonderful trip to Costa Rica! The entire trip was well beyond all of our expectations and enchanting from beginning to end. From the quaint and reserved beginning at San Gildar Hotel with very helpful staff, to the excitement of the Sarapiqui River Rafting Trip, the people of Costa Rica made the trip a real joy. The drivers and guides provided were one of the unexpected highlights of the trip. The guides all showed up precisely on time, and did their best to make our transit from one site to another educational and enjoyable. During our entire trip the employees were all energetic, friendly and very helpful.

Perhaps the true highpoint was the tour of Corocovado National Park led by Caesar .Caesar was knowledgeable and energetic throughout the 12 hour tour….a pretty tall assignment to keep 8 sunburned and tired tourists alert. We were amazed at the river, park, monkeys, parrots and the beaches.

Thank you again for arranging a dream vacation. Please use us a recommendation for others who want to plan a dream vacation to Costa Rica. Ken and Marcia

We're back from our trip and wanted to tell you that we had uno fantastico tiempo!!!!! The hotel, food, drinks & activities were perfect. The staff at the Allegro Papagayo were friendly, professional and talented. We will definitely recommend this hotel and your services to our friends. Even our room was in a great location, building #15 is in the perfect place (close to the pool).

As always, we will be happy to be used as references for your future customers. Craig's work number is 281-872-2151, I believe you already have my number.
