Costa Rica Tour Review: Monteverde, Arenal, La Fortuna, Tamarindo, Rainforest Tour, River Cruise, 10 Days

Zicasso’s travel consultant was fantastic. They were responsive and delivered well on the request for a quick introduction to Costa Rica in three stops. Hotel accommodations were very nice all around, though our hotel in Monteverde cloudforest was a standout. Transfers and reservations went off without a hitch, and the pre-scheduled activities were most enjoyable for all.

Costa Rica Trip Review: Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, Ziplining, Hanging Bridges, Hiking, Hot Springs, Private Tours, 12-Day Vacation

Mike and I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for our unforgettable two-week adventure in Costa Rica. The trip was amazing and exceeded our expectations. We were spoiled by the private transfers and private tours. All of the tour guides were professional and very informative. We enjoyed all of the selected hotels, with the lodge in Monteverde being our favorite. The hotel had a great happy hour with a variety of drinks and was within walking distance of Santa Elena. We liked having daily breakfast included and loved all of the fresh fruits, especially the cantaloupe and watermelon.

We appreciated your attention to detail and expert recommendations for the variety of tours and guides. We enjoyed the float trips and had a wonderful tour of the mangroves in Manuel Antonio. Our time in Monteverde included a rainy day hiking the hanging bridges and ziplining for the first time. I am glad we added the vanilla tour to our agenda in Manuel Antonio.   

Thank you so much for making this trip special and stress-free. Please let your staff know that we appreciated all of their hard work. The WhatsApp gateway was great once we figured out how to use the app. It allowed us to communicate with the team to update us on schedule changes or other information. We will definitely recommend your services to our family and friends, and ook forward to visiting Costa Rica in the future.

Costa Rica Family Vacation Review: La Fortuna Volcano, Horseback Riding, Canyoneering, Whitewater Rafting, Ziplining, 10-Night Trip

We highly recommend this Zicasso travel partner. Our travel agent planned the perfect trip for our family – four adults and five kids. She listened, was flexible, and tailored the trip to our style. We are highly active. Having all the transfers and activities planned is the way to go. All you have to do is show up and the rest takes care of itself. 

We flew into Liberia and our transfer took us to La Fortuna for three nights. We did the hanging bridges, a Lake Arenal boat/volcano tour, canyoneering/whitewater rafting, and ziplining. The canyoneering/whitewater was our favorite. 

From there, we went to Rincón de la Vieja. Our agent booked us into family-friendly resorts. We only stayed two nights, but enjoyed a horseback ride to the waterfalls, the mud baths, thermal pools, and a massage. 

We booked our own airbnb in Nosara, but our agent arranged the transfers, a private rental car, and added tour input. All around, fantastic service. The app provided for the itinerary was perfect, as was the incredibly responsive service while we were in the country. My brother's flight arrival flight was canceled and the service team was immediately in contact with him to rearrange his transfer to the hotel.   I would use this travel company again in a heartbeat.

Costa Rica Anniversary Trip Review: La Fortuna, Manuel Antonio, Hot Springs, Ziplining, 6-Night Tour

Our trip was very enjoyable. The resorts that were selected were top-notch in all aspects – nice rooms, great restaurants, and very nice locations. The tours we went on were very nice. Our favorite tour was the hanging bridge tour in La Fortuna. The hot springs at the La Fortuna resort were amazing. Our only criticism was the travel day between the resort in La Fortuna and the resort in Manuel Antonio. We were picked up at 8am and didn’t arrive until 4.15pm. We did zipline on the way, but the eight-hour travel day was very long. We would have preferred to travel straight from one resort to the other as quickly as possible, with no stops.

Overall, the trip was fantastic. Zicasso's travel agency did a great job of planning our itinerary and was very accessible during our trip. We loved Costa Rica.

Costa Rica Travel Review: La Fortuna, Manuel Antonio, 8-Night Trip

We recently traveled to Costa Rica with two other couples, and using Zicasso's travel agency was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, our agents were incredible. They helped us plan every detail of our trip and guided us every step of the way, even once we had arrived in Costa Rica.

They carefully listened to our preferences (even after we changed hotels and itineraries multiple times) and created an unforgettable itinerary that included stays in La Fortuna and Manuel Antonio. Every hotel, tour, and transfer was thoughtfully arranged. One day, we chose to skip our planned excursion so we could enjoy more time at our beautiful hotel and they had it canceled with no hassle at all.

What really set them apart was their exceptional personal touch. They greeted us at the airport in person, checked in with us regularly during the trip, and made sure we had everything we needed. Their attention to detail and commitment to making sure we had the best experience was truly impressive.

If you’re planning a trip to Costa Rica, I can’t recommend this agency highly enough. Professional, responsive, and genuinely caring, they made our vacation seamless and special from start to finish.
