    To begin, we sincerely regret to learn that your overall experience was anything short of exceptional, given that the complete satisfaction of our guests is an absolute priority. With this in mind, we genuinely regret that we were not able to host you on either of the guided vacations that you had booked with our company, as they were both suspended due to the pandemic. On top of this, we certainly undesrtand the frustration that may have been felt as a result of our cancellation policy and in learning of the wait time for reimbursement. We have shared this feedback with our Reservations Department for their attention and consideration, as indeed, our team will look into making any possible improvements. You have every right to expect the highest level of service from us, as this is something we have always been known for throughout the travel industry. While we note with reluctance that you may not be travelling with us again, we nevertheless wish you all the best in your future vacation endeavors.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on the Costa Rica Eco Adventure guided holiday. We always like to know where we are going right and where we could be making improvements. To begin, we are concerned to hear that you may have found the size of your group to be too large at certain points on this trip. All of our trips and itineraries are designed to comfortably accommodate up to fifty guests at a time, and during peak seasons, we do often operate at full capacity. Nevertheless, we appreciate your concern and have shared this with our Operations Department for their consideration. To continue, we would like to apologize for any discomfort you seem to have experienced whilst on-board the coach; this is something that we will certainly raise with our Transportation Department for their review and to establish what improvements might be made going forward. Furthermore, we regret to read that you did not find the hotels to be conveniently located and we are sorry this had affected your appreciation of the destinations visited. Nonetheless, it's great to read that you enjoyed discovering the beautiful hand-picked destinations on our carefully crafted itinerary, and what's more, it's great to know that it was all in the good company of your dedicated and knowledgeable Travel Director. With that said, we are always striving to make our experiences even better. Therefore, we hope that you will join us again on another of Trafalgar's guided holidays in the future when we can demonstrate all of the new great elements that we have included in our itineraries.

      Louise

      TravelerWritten October 2023

      Are the dates you offered the only ones offered in late April or early May for this 8-day tour - meaning are there others, but they are currently full? How many people do you average on this tour (riding on a bus) during April or May? We would like to extend our trip to include going Tamarindo (on our own) where we have relatives living there. We're also considering a tour that includes ending in Tamarindo. If we do that could we extend (on our own) for a few extra days before flying home from Liberia?

    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten October 2023

      As per checking, the dates offered to you are the only dates available in April and May. Also, the average is 40 guests, with a maximum of 52 guests. Lastly, it's your discretion if you want to extend your stay after the trip. Just to confirm, are you looking for another tour that includes Tamarindo in the itinerary?
