Great intro to Costa Rica - We hope you’re lucky enough to have Hayro as one of your guides. We lucked out having him three days on our trip. He is incredibly knowledgeable about each of the areas he took us to, found animals, insects and birds would never have seen without him. He clearly knows the area well, knows staff at the parks and shares tidbits about the country’s history and culture with you throughout the day. He ends the day telling you what to expect for your next day which is very helpful. The excursions all come out of San Jose so be prepared to spend some time on the road. CR traffic is bad and unpredictable which can make some days end late. Dinner is on your own each day which implies to me we’d be back by dinner - assumably 7 pm but two nights we were back later - 8-9pm so bring some snacks. Each day is well thought out and organized. Excursions in each direction from SJ which gives you a good amount of windshield time to see broader parts of the country. The lunches provided are great. We really enjoyed getting to know the other travelers in the group, it mixes up most days as some begin their 8 days and others peel off completing theirs. We spent a couple days with some we really enjoyed. Pack a variety of clothes as the excursions take you to beaches, rain forest and volcanos so having a thin jacket as a windbreaker/raincoat is ideal. You go from sea level to over 10,000 ft (not same day) so pack some items for a little cooler/breezy conditions. Overall had a really good time.

Fun, organized, memorable - Be prepared to spend some time in the provided transportation, but worth it! Everyday is either physical, educational, scenic, fun and the guides are fantastic

Excellent tour! - We did this tour without knowing what we expected. It was a fabulous experience from start to finish. The places we went were very diverse and beautiful; Hayro, our guide, was extraordinary! He had a lot of knowledge of the places, the plants and animals, the history of the place, and he was always extremely punctual. We did things we never imagined, like canopy, rafting, suspension bridge walks... it was amazing and exciting! The tour is VERY well organized, nothing failed, everything was as offered (except a change because a road was cut off, but we were exchanged for a similar tour). The meals were delicious, we always had clean bathrooms maximum every two hours, the explanations of what clothes or objects we should take for each tour was always right. No extra payment was required except tips, both to the guide-driver and to the guides of the rafting or the canopy (we will have spent about 160 usd of tips). Canopy and rafting photos were also not included, which cost 15 and 20 dollars respectively, but I advise buying them since you will not have the opportunity to take them yourself, and well... it is not an activity that one does every day! I advise having a good breakfast before leaving, because the commute is long every day, as you always leave from San Jose and return to the same hotel, so the days are sometimes quite long. Anyway, I highly recommend this tour and this company, we feel taken care of and taken care of at all times, we enjoy it very much!

Highly recommended - Efficient and responsible from the first contacts with Thiago Campos planning the trip to the check-out at the airport. Our guide Hayro attentive, helpful and deeply knowledgeable of the places visited, with their characteristics and stories. Experiences and food in the most pleasant places of each visited locality. I just suggest that the descriptions of the tours be less general and more detailed with respect to the duration and step by step of each activity.

Adventure - Excellent experience if you are up for adventure! All the drivers and guides were great, informative, and helpful. Hotel staff was great. Would definitely encourage anyone to go. Know that you need to be able to walk a lot and often up and down steep hills. You need to be flexible as weather and traffic can change things. You will be doing a lot of traveling and often through steep curvy roads. Great Experience

Excellent experience what Costa Rica has to offer - Well coordinated day tours from San Jose. Enough time to experience the attractions and friendly guides. The white water rafting and rainforest experiences were a highlight

Good but Not Great Experience and did not live up to the "Deluxe" description. - Overall, this was a good experience but there were some drawbacks to the 7 Night 8 Day All Inclusive Deluxe Package. First, the Best .... Trip Advisor and Summer Travel did a great job of communicating with us, coordinating our hotel, and coordinating the tours. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we were pleased with those aspects of the trip. The staff at the hotel and all of the tour guides were great as well ... polite, informative, and helpful in all aspects. I believe the price for the package was good value as well. Now for the not so good ..... The Delta Hotel by Marriott in San Jose is definitely not a 4-star hotel. I would rank it as a marginal 3-star at best. The lobby appeared nice and there was also a small but pleasant bar/lounge area, but there were a lot of negatives to the hotel. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, there was a safe in the room, and there was an iron in the room. But there was no ironing board (important for my wife), the carpet and furniture were worn and stained, the free-standing floor lamp was broken, there was no mini-fridge, tiles in the bathroom were cracked, and fixtures in the bathroom were worn/corroded. In addition, the hotel web site advertised a 2nd upscale restaurant on a higher floor, but it was closed for renovation. The menu in the restaurant off the lobby was also limited, and prices exceeded what I normally pay in comparable restaurants in the United States. My wife and I enjoyed the activities we booked, but the drives were long because of the heavy traffic in all of Costa Rica. That resulted in very long days, most of which were spent in cramped mini-buses. Finally, if you are "seasoned citizens" or even out of shape youngsters, realize that the very long days and tours scheduled for every day of the trip can be exhausting. I am a very active "seasoned citizen", former fighter pilot, and former paratrooper, but it was just a little too much at my age (71) to get up at 5 or 6:00 AM every day and spend 10-12 hours on the road, hiking through the rain forest, or zip-lining through the jungle. If I do it again, I will book a less ambition tour schedule. Finally, on a good note, the catamaran tour included lunch. While we were sailing, the cook/chef prepared an awesome red snapper along with the obligatory beans and rice. Best meal we had on the trip, but stay away from the "spicy/hot" sauce. I like spicy / hot food but that sauce really "lit my fire." Habanero, ghost pepper or something similar must have been the base for the sauce.
