This trip wasn't really what I had expected. My boyfriend and I felt we weren't really the target market (we're 20 year olds and we love adventure!) but we still could appreciate the trip for what it was. First of all, this is an absolute steal. The hotels, except the horrible Holiday Inn on the last night, were all incredible... More

I was on the CR Tour with my significant other from May 4-13, 2012. Caravan put together a fantastically wonderful tour for a reasonable amount of money. All the hotels were, for the most part, excellent - especially the rainforest hotel in Tortuguero. All the food was good and plentiful. The local fruit was awesome and dining in the local... More

I won't go into details like everyone, but if you want long bus rides with not breaks, this is the one. We have been on numerous tours that cover a lot of distance, but those tours would stop for small breaks for picture taking and 10 minute stretches. This tour, your photos are out the bus window and hopefully you... More

Great way to see CR. you can't beat the price. I have to laugh out loud when I hear people complain about the amount of travel time on the bus. REALLY?? How else are you gonna get around. The price of gas in CR is very expensive plus you need insurance when you rent a car, also very expensive I... More

This was my first group tour and Caravan was very organized and provided a truly inclusive vacation. The price is incredibly cheap. It would cost 50% to 100% more to do on your own. The accommodations were all very good to excellent. The food was excellent and I really enjoyed almost every meal. Almost every meal had fresh Costa Rican... More

This was our first package tour, and it exceeded our expectations. One surprise was the quality of the hotels, which were much nicer than we typically book for ourselves. Another surprise was that the bus route included rural country roads. It was fun to ride through small villages, plantations, forests, etc and enjoy the view from a lounge seat in... More

Like many of the 44 in our tour group, we had never been on a tour before and were apprehensive, but Caravan couldn't have made it easier. From being met at the airport on arrival to the transfer back to the airport 10 days later, we moved smoothly from one activity to the next always briefed in advance by our... More

We have just returned from a Caravan bus tour of Costa Rica and it exceeded our expectations in all areas. From our arrival at the start of our trip to our shuttle to the airport for departure everything went like clockwork. The trip was so well organized and everything went the way they said it would in their booklet which... More

My husband and I took this tour with another couple, all of us are in our mid-sixties and recently retired. We were in a group of 34 people, most all of them well-travelled. Our tour was nearly identical to many others who wrote reviews so I won't go into detail. I always like to read bad reviews as well as... More
