Review of Greenheart Travel

Greenheart is incompetent and charges a hefty fee ...

Greenheart is incompetent and charges a hefty fee for nothing. I m currently teaching abroad in Costa Rica. ALIARSE, the local organization running the program, is great but frankly I don t know what Greenheart provides. They charged a $500 fee (not including health insurance which all volunteers had to pay for though others were allowed much cheaper options) even though Dave s ESL also advertises this volunteer opportunity without adding a fee. All I got from Greenheart was a t-shirt and a tote bag. The org appears to be run by recent college grads who post inaccurate descriptions of the VOLUNTEER program. They couldn t even get the dates right, so I had to opt for a later session because I had scheduled a trip around the original dates from Greenheart. ALIARSE staff have said they repeatedly informed Greenheart of their mistaken information...bottom line, go with ALIARSE directly bc Greenheart is a useless middle man.
