Costa Rica Expeditions had setup our entire trip to Costa Rica. The service was fantastic. Prompt pickups, professional and knowledgeable guides (thank you Diego, Alejandro, Bernie), safe and courteous drivers (Alberto and Javier), and an all around excellent adventure. Thank you!
We started working with their guide, Luis Pablo Cubero by email in July for a January trip. We gave him what we want to do and not want to do (e.g ziplines, beaches), and he created a package for our review. After a few exchanges, the trip was planned and set.
They gave us advanced notice of the logistics with each step executed precisely as stated, thus making the entire trip worry-free. They made sure there is a proper handoff from one mode of transportation to the next (car to airport, airport to bus, boat to van) and never left us wondering what to do.
The friendly local guides at each location are highly knowledgeable of the wildlife and plants (they can even give you the Latin names if you want). They have sharp eyes, spotting birds and wildlife in the trees that are well camouflaged.
Food at their own operated lodges (Tortuga, Monteverde) are amazing. The proteins are never overcooked, seafood fresh, and they don't push any particular food or drinks.
When we go back, we'd go with them again.
Costa Rica Expeditions set up my stay in San Jose and a visit to a cloud forest reserve northwest of San Jose. The drivers and guides were exceptional for my 3.5 day visit. They didn't force me any certain direction, but instead were responsive to my likes and interests. Sometimes we went to places that were out of the way and not touristy, like restaurants local favor, or seeing behind the scenes on how woodworking is done. There was a good mix of upscale/luxury activities and good value. It's December as I write this, and I plan to go back in March, because I trust them to plan a longer journey and there is more to see.
Very good former colleagues work here, really very aware of the details
We went through Costa Rica Expeditions for our May 2017 trip to Costa Rica. We are a family of 5 (three older boys plus Mom & Dad). Our trip was incredible. I worked with Gustavo on our plans as we went to four different locations in the country. Very impressed with all the tours we had set up, our transportation and our hotels. Everything was exactly as our itinerary was set up (ex. when they said our tour was picking us up at 7:00 am at the hotel, that is exactly what time they were there). We did not have a single worry. Even minor changes that happened (ex. they changed our tour to the Paos volcano as the gov't closed it due to activity), Gustavo gave us options and worked with us on our new plan. I can't say enough good things about this company and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone.
Good atmosphere . tourism receiving agency. Good hotels.and food in hotels.recommended.
Excellent company excellent service and very professional
