What people love about Costa Rica Tours for Seniors
- Costa Rica Escape
Costa Rica is a magnificently beautiful country. A wonderful place to visit. We traveled on a beautiful new bus complete with WiFi. Jorge, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful as was Roberto, our bus driver. I felt I was in very capable hands throughout the trip. The hotels were very nice and served excellent breakfasts. Optional excursions were excellent. I especially like the hot springs and dinner excursion and the rafting river excursion.
Great trip. Well organized and run. Our guide, Victor, did a great job. Highly reccomend.
Costa Rica Adventure

Delighted with this tour! Everything was planned and organised for us and ran smoothly with no problems. The hotels were all lovely, the food was great, the transfers were on time, and communication from the team was fantastic. We particularly like Tortuguero and Tortuga but all the destinations were worth visiting.
