This tour operator has only two customer reviews, 4 star, how reliable is the company. And, what is the crime situation in Costa Rica from your personal perspective.

Central American Tours is a reliable operator. They are just a smaller local operator, which is why they don't have many reviews. Concerning crime, Costa Rica is a very popular tourist destination and is considered safe. Travelling with a tour companion and having a local guide increase safety as well.
