Review of: 8-Day Tour: Jewels of Costa Rica
This was an amazing tour! Do not let the bad reviews turn you off. It was worth every penny and I would definitely recommend it. I did not have any problem with airport pick-up, and we got in at 5:15 a.m.! Holiday Inn Express-Forum was fine. Nothing special as far as hotels go, but it was clean and had a decent breakfast. The bus is comfortable and our tour guide, Katia, was knowledgeable, fun and a great tour guide!! Ali was a wonderful photographer and I would highly recommend getting the photo package. She gets photos that your phone camera will not be able to capture. I would recommend that you work with her. If you want pictures, then smile for the camera and pose. She is good at what she does. Jorge was an excellent driver and you will really appreciate his expertise when you see how the roads wind around. I understand that the Volcano Poas can be difficult to see because of clouds, but we had a clear view. The smell wasn't pleasant but it was awesome to see an active volcano. We chose white water rafting and that was easily one of the highlights of our trip. The guides are professional - ours was on the National Rafting Team and this is his day job. I have never done it before and I'm not a good swimmer, but I felt safe and had a blast!! The other hotels are GORGEOUS! We even had a tub to soak in outside our room at Mountain Paradise. Yes, you are on a tour bus for a few hours sometimes, but how did you expect to go up and down and around volcanos? They are enormous. They stop regularly, so it doesn't get long. Ziplining and the skytram and walk are AMAZING! When can you say that you ziplined across the Continental Divide 660 feet in the air? I can't comment on the ride back to the airport, because we chose to go our own way after the tour, but I must say this was an amazing tour that I would recommend to any one. Go for it ! You will love it. Lisa…

Review of: 8-Day Tour: Jewels of Costa Rica
No airport pick up. No detailed itinerary. No communication, information once we arrived. No reservation at hotel. Taxi services and hotel clerks had no knowledge of this company. We were convinced it was a scam. Ended up spending $2000 out of pocket for hotel and 2 tours. Guide eventually did show up for another monkey tour and tried to be helpful but we had already made other arrangements. Not for the traveler who expects confirmed reservations and the tour as advertised.…

Review of: 8-Day Tour: Jewels of Costa Rica
Giving 5 stares to our guide (and photographer) Marcelo- he was excellent and made the tour fun and educational. Also 5 stars to our driver Eduardo- he was terrific and on some difficult roads at times. Would also rate the food as 5 stars- traditional Costa Rican cuisine and great choice. This is a wonderful way to see Costa Rica- mountains, volcanoes, zip lining, water rafting and hiking. There a some days when you spend a fair amount of time on the bus. A couple of hotel experiences were challenging- at Samara beach the staff was not particularly friendly and we had to wait a long time for check in. The last hotel-Tramonto was 3 stars at best. Overall, I would recommend this trip- it was a really good value and except for a couple hotels was thoroughly enjoyable.…

Review of: 8-Day Tour: Jewels of Costa Rica
This was Great tour covering different aspects of Costa Rica! We got to experience different weather and countryside ! I highly recommend white water rafting even though I had never done water rafting before ! Our tour guide Marcello was excellent , knowledgeable and had great personality! He always stayed on time ! Driver Guillermo had flawless driving skills on tough roads ! He was pleasant and courteous! They made our trip enjoyable ! Monkey tours are terrible in responding to emails prior to your arrival. I had to call and email multiple times for them to respond . Tremonto Hotel they picked on Hermosa beach was terrible! Hotel Ficus sunset on Monteverde did not have a/c and ran out of fan ! Even though it is called 8 days , you get only 6 days of touring ! I recommend this tour! Try to get in one day early as they don’t cover San Jose at all! That also helps for your to be well rested for 6 days of touring !…
