  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

  The was very good, and we enjoyed it very much. The transfers from point to point worked perfectly and the guides were professional and informative . Some points to consider: 1. The visit to Manuel Antonio park was too short (we had to come back to the hotel for the transfer to San Jose). I understand that the park was closed the previous day. In that case you should change the itinerary of the trip so we can spend the whole day in the park. 2. The trip of the last day to San Jose took 6 hours, 2 of which we spent in the traffic jams in the city. Reserving the last night in a hotel near the airport could have solved the problem. Also the neighborhood of the Radisson hotel is not so welcoming - we couldn't find a restaurant in the area. 3. The Saranda boutique hotel is a unique place, beautifully built, but not for 2 persons in the same cabin. The "room" is very small and with 2 small suitcases there is hardly place for one person. To reach the far side of the bed you have to climb over the near side. Overall - not practical.Show more

  We had a great time during our trip. The itinerary was packed with a nice variety of activities and guided tours. It’s relatively fast paced with only 2 nights at each place but if you want to see and experience a lot in a limited timeframe this tour is perfect. I’ve got to give extra credit to our contact person who helped us immensely with whatever questions and needs we had. Mariana you are the best!Show more

  Everything worked really well from when Felipe picked us up from the airport in San Jose to our departure. You will spend quite a lot of time travelling but this is essential if you want to see as much of Costa Rica as you can and this tour really gave as so much more than others on offer. The drivers of the shared transport minibuses were punctual, drove carefully and were very pleasant and helpful. All of our tours and guides were really great and we saw and learned so much more than people who tried to explore the national parks by themselves. Some of the descriptions of our itinerary in Arenal were not completely accurate - it is 500 steps and not 300 down to the La Fortuna waterfall, and the nature walk in the Arenal Volcano Park is not on mostly flat trails - there is even a sign at the start of the trail which warns that it is a steep incline! At 65 with dodgy knees I decided to give the waterfall a miss but enjoyed the volcano walk with the aid of a walking pole, proper walking shoes and a guide who was careful to go at a pace within my ability. Felipe had recommended that we visit the Jaguar Rescue Centre in Puerto Viejo - they don't actually have any Jaguars there but this was a real highlight of our tour - you must go there to see baby sloths and monkeys!! Tortuguero at Mawamba Lodge was great even in terrible weather and storms (the worst they had had for years apparently) and Laura our guide was amazing - so enthusiastic, informative and fun.We even saw turtles hatching on the beach and scuttling down to the sea. Accommodation and meals provided as part of the tour were generally very good - we particularly loved the eco lodges we stayed in and especially Cala Lodge in Monteverde. Hotel Los Lagos in La Fortuna is a big commercial hotel but its series of hot springs and thermally heated swimming pools more than made up for that! However, on our first evening there we ate a la carte in their restaurant and the food was terrible! Much better and cheaper to get a taxi to the nearby town for $8 where there are lots of restaurants. We had chosen to stay at El Faro Hotel in Manuel Antonio but this was rather disappointing compared to everywhere else we stayed - the location is very close to the National Park, and the hotel staff and swimming pools were great but the hotel is up a steep hill, the accommodation itself was very tired and breakfast was the worst we had whilst in Costa Rica. Overall, we had a brilliant time and would definitely recommend Green World Adventures.Show more
