Our experience with Tourradar went extremely smooth. From airport pickup to hotel pickup on departure. The 13 day "The Best OF Costa Rica(Activities Included and Superior Hotels) was all we could ever wish for. The 5 destinations with 2 nights each, covered most of the country, providing us with wonderful flora and fauna features that made this tour so desirable. We learned that to be attracted for an all-inclusive vacation would have been a major mistake as the seeing the whole country is a must. The tour operator, Green World Adventures, performed flawlessly. Pickup times were as published in the program, the app works exquisitely, and communication with company was excellent as any issue which came up were dealt with immediately. Thank you for this amazing holiday in Costa Rica. Lynn Bryngelson, Kelowna, B.C.,Show more
