Fun packed week- 10 experiences in 6 days! - This is the perfect way to experience many areas and most famous attractions including the history of Costa Rica. The guides were knowledgeable and very friendly. We were lucky to have Lenny as our driver/guide 4 times. She knew many extra stops to make the overall experience the best it could be. Her sense of humor made the long bus rides fun. Her driving skills are amazing on the winding roads. Some of the highlights were Manuel Antonio park with Lenny and the hanging bridges with our guide Hayro- who was superb at seeing all the signs of "critters" in the jungle. The Zipline in Monteverde and the Whitewater rafting trip were an adrenaline junkie's dream. I cannot start to describe the beautiful views everywhere you go. The hotel that was assigned to us was top notch. Every member of the staff is a true professional who took their job very seriously. We found getting around Costa Rica to be quite easy as there are many English-speaking locals and the US dollar is accepted almost everywhere.

Best trip ever! - Such an amazing trip! Every tour was unique and so much fun!! We were lucky to have Lenny as our tour guide each day except rafting. She is wonderful!’ She is knowledgable, friendly, witty, and patient! She made us feel comfortable. It was so nice to let Lenny and the others at Symmer Tours take over and just enjoy our trip!

Not quite the adventure we signed up for! - This review will be a little bit different, as I had a fall on our very first day and ended up with a broken shoulder. The response from Summer Travel was spectacular- they sent someone out to help, made arrangements for the ER visit and stayed with me throughout the whole process. We were debating whether to stay or go home, and they fully supported us either way. We will definitely use Summer Travel when we come back to this beautiful country.

Get out there and explore. - One of the friendliest countries in Central America. Clean as well. The native people take good care of their country. No very expense from what I remember. This is going back to the late 90's.

Jam-packed fun and exciting adventure! - The Whitewater rafting trip was amazing! La Paz Waterfall Gardens were spectacular! The Monteverde area was also spectacular! Manuel Antonio National and our Sunset Cruise was also fabulous! All our guides were so knowledgeable and accommodating and especially Hayro Hernandez. He was an excellent driver as well as an extremely knowledgeable and passionate guide! They all showed extreme love for Costa Rica!

I am super grateful..... - I like the treatment we received, we are a large family visiting Costa Rica on vacation in January, since we started our reservation we always received clear information and on time, a day before our trip they sent us the itinerary and this was fulfilled as if they were a clock, very punctual.
The attractions every day are simply wonderful, you really can't miss any of them, each attraction makes you feel different things, adrenaline, comfort, relaxation, inspiration, however it is something you really have to experience on your own.
The team of guides is highly professional, with an impressive level of English and knowledge of their country, flora and fauna, places, foods, etc.
The recommendations that the guides give you are always very accurate, the cars are always clean, the hotel is impeccable, 5 star certified, excellent staff.
The food is simply delicious, very varied with fresh vegetables and juices that I never imagined existed.
Costa Rica captivates you in all its aspects, I hope to return on the next vacation, see you soon and I really congratulate my family is super happy with this vacation.

Thanks for a magical vacation!!! - I am very pleased with the treatment they gave me, I congratulate the entire team, especially Hayro who treated us very well, he showed us Costa Rica as a country full of beautiful customs, always very timely with his contributions, he has a very special treatment with He took care of all the tourists and all of us very well, I really liked the package because it has all the best of Costa Rica, the rafting adventure was one of my favorites, a highly recommended experience.
I am more of a beach person and I thought the tour to Manuel Antonio was very beautiful, beautiful beach with many animals, and you are there in front of them.
We give 10 out of 10 to this beautiful country and 5 stars to the company, everything turned out excellent.

The guide Hayro made the difference. - The most memorable parts were the several hikes with Hayro as our guide, the whitewater rafting, and the zip line. Hairo was truly outstanding. He is passionate and deeply experienced in all aspects - he knows how to find the interesting things and handles all the inevitable complex situations well. The schedule was intense but so worth it. We experienced an amazing sampling of what Costa Rica offers.

THE PERFECT TOUR - In my vacation days in Costa Rica I visited beautiful places, the people are very friendly, the food is spectacular, the aminals you can see are incredible.
One of the trips that I liked the most was the Irazu Volcano, it is incredible to see the crater and be so close to it, it is a little cold, but the history that surrounds it is wonderful and thanks to our guide we were able to know it.
I highly recommend the tour as you really get to see the best places in Costa Rica.

Beautiful Destination, but Consider Travel Time (long ride each day) - We enjoyed our time in Costa Rica, appreciating the beauty of the country and its people. However, it's important to note that the tour, contrary to the displayed map indicating a loop, departs and returns to the same hotel daily. This resulted in an average of 5 hours or more spent in the car each day. It's worth considering that this may not be suitable for individuals with small children or seniors.
