How do we co-ordinate air flight from Los Angeles, CA to arrival and get your free pick-up transportation to your hotel for this tour

Costsaver no longer provides either complimentary or chargeable airport transfer services. You will have to arrange your own way to the start hotel at your leisure. We also have a trusted partner transfer provider to recommend once you're booked on this tour.

are fees for tours included in this price?

The tour is offered at a discounted total price of USD 2,961.00 for two people sharing a twin room (USD 1,480.50 per person). It includes a 7-day journey across 1 country and 5 cities, with transportation between cities by motorcoach (bus). The package covers 6 nights of accommodation, 6 breakfasts, 1 lunch, and 2 dinners. What's not included are the optional experiences, international flights from/to San Jose, the arrival airport transfer, gratuities (tips), and travel insurance.

At age 82 and 83 can we take this Quest Tour.

In response to your question, of course, you can join this trip at your age. This trip will cost US$1,645.00 per person based in a twin room.

what do you have available? can I customize it?

Unfortunately, if you're referring to our Costa Rica Adventure trip is a guided tour with a pre-planned itinerary covering all 7 days of the journey.

Can you please provide me a quote and let me know if transfers from the airport are included?

The cost for this trip is $1,113.00 per person based on twin room it is subject to change. We have complimentary transfers on the first and last day of the trip.

Is the activity level suitable for septuagenarians?

Most of our trips are balanced with about 1-3 miles of walking per day. You must be able to go up and down the coach steps multiple times a day without assistance and can expect there to be uneven surfaces.

When do you recommend flights arriving and departing be scheduled? How does arrival work? Do we need to travel from the airport with the tour or can we arrive at the hotal separately?

You will have complimentary transfers at any time on arrival if you provide your flight details to us. On departure, you will arrive at the airport at approximately 11 AM. We would not recommend a flight earlier than 2 PM. You are welcome to make your own way to the hotel if you choose.

We would like to take this tour but can only take off work between March 18-March27....is there a way to make the tour one of these dates? We are three women (mother and 2 daughters in one room).

This tour has set departure dates and to run the tour as private will need a min. of 12 travellers.

Is it available for two people?

This trip is currently on request because we are within 30 days of departure. If you are interested in joining the trip we would need to place a hold for the full payment of the trip, so if it comes back available your spot will be secured.

This was probably the worst tour I've taken. Costa Rica was wonderful, no thanks to the tour. To start, I was told the transfer from airport to hotel would be $50 per person so we opted to get to the hotel on our own. Got a call at the hotel that they had waited for us and couldn't understand why I wasn't there....because I didn't pay for it and wasn't told that it was included!! Next...the tour director, Victor, wasn't reliable. He would give the "company line" and then not follow through. Just one example: we were supposed to make name cards to be used to rotate seats on the bus...never happened! He never learned names, and never made you feel part of a group, so there was no group cohesiveness. The quality of the hotels was not great. They were second rate, cleanliness lacking and many in varying states of disrepair (old). The food was mediocre and I'm not a foodie but lack of variety and lack of hot food when supposed to be hot, or cold when supposed to be cold leaves one desiring more. Each hotel got progressively worse, including location so by the time we got to the end, we were in single beds with a very limited menu to choose from at every meal. The last part of the trip, which everyone referred to as "the beach" was not an "add on" but part f the tour. Yet the tour director did not travel to the beach with the group of twelve, but went back to San Jose to end his tour. Strange....not a problem for me because I have traveled quite a bit by myself, but what actually was I paying for if not for a director who would oversee and make sure things went smoothly, as you will see with the final transfer. Then there was the issue with our transfer from hotel to airport at the end. We were told 7:15 and were there the required 10 minutes early, only to find that another couple was told 7:40 (according to them and the front desk) and were on our same transport! When confronted, Swiss Travel (who apparently is the umbrella for Costsaver) said that the other couple were just late, so as I said to them...someone is untruthful!Show more

It saddens us to read that your time away with Costsaver does not seem to have lived up to your expectations, and that this may have been due to a few different elements of your trip that you felt could have been improved upon. Here at Costsaver, we truly value our guests' feedback, as it helps us to know where we are going right and where we might be able to improve. As such, please be assured that your cocnerns have been shared with our Operations Department for their attention going forward. That said, we still hope that you have taken lots of lasting highlights from your time away with us.

We just came back from our trip to Costa Rica. We enjoyed every aspect of the trip. Everything was wonderfully organized, and there were absolutely no delays. Our tour guide, Victor Leiton, was top-notch. He really brought joy, happiness and enthusiasm to the trip. Victor has a great sense of humor, and impeccable knowledge of his country. He made our stay there unforgettable. The group was splendid as well. We made a lot of lifelong friends! I would recommend this tour, and especially Victor and our driver, Tony, 100%Show more
