The pre-planning and execution of the plan was excellent. They were even able to help get glasses returned when a member or our party left them in a hotel.

What made our Costa Rica experience great was the wonderful places we stayed and transportation to get to our different areas to visit was excellent! The white water rafting and the snorkeling & dolphin watching were really fun!
