Wonderful Vacation with the Animals

Chris_D, Mar 2024

Tortuguero was our favorite part of the trip. The monkeys were climbing all over the place. We were able to see lots of animals on the boat trip. Worst part of trip was dragging our suitcases from place to place and there was alot of time just getting from one place to the other but it was worth it. Viator was quick to answer any questions that I had and we had no troubles with our transportation or hotels. We did the 10 day tour but if you would like to do alot of extra excursions at each place there is only time for 1 or 2 at most. Probably should have done a 14 day trip instead.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Una experiencia inolvidable y muy bien organizada

ROBERTOMARIO, Feb 2020

El paquete fue organizado y ejecutado a través de la agencia Destination Services, quienes lo hicieron a la perfección, en una logística muy complicada que incluye muchos cambios de hotel, transportes a diferentes puntos y realización de excursiones en cada destino. En todos los casos los operadores estaban informados de nuestra presencia y los traslados y excursiones llegaron siempre en la hora establecida. Los sitios visitados de Costa Rica son imperdibles.
