We had a good trip to Costa Rica. All the arrangements, pickups and tours were as advertised. I would, however have liked to have had a text or email confirming pickups.

Our Costa Rica vacation planned by Green World Adventures was amazing at every stop. All of our transfers were on time and the drivers were friendly. The hotels were clean and located close to restaurants. We especially loved the rafting and the canyoning tours - really physically challenging and amazing. Also loved the zip line and the kayaking tour.

Jorge Loria Zuñiga was a phenomenal tour guide. He went above and beyond to make our trip an unforgettable time. He is incredible at spotting birds, snakes, lizards, sloths, monkeys, and on on with the rich biodiversity that Costa Rica offers. This is the perfect job for this man, the love for his country and what he does shines through everyday, gifting to his entire group the magic that is offered in the beautiful land. Fantastic restaurant recommendations and making you feel like family. We were quite please with wingbuddy, the hotel selections were great. Most of them were small, my husband and I didn't mind this as we were just sleeping in them, we were wanting to be outside and hike as much as possible. The extra excursions may be worth it to add on prior to getting there. All in all the tour was planned well with adequate time in each place. You see so much of the country with this tour. We were quite lucky to have a great group that we all got along well with eachother. Again Jorge with costa rica hidden treasures (wingbuddy Im assuming contracts through this tour company) was the heart of this trip going so splendidly.
