Olman was very prompt and responsive to our requests and organized a good itinerary for us, a party of 3. All the hotels were great with very comfortable beds and good breakfast. All our Costa Rica guides were top rates as were the drivers. Only one main feedback is, we wished we were advised of the terrible traffic back to San Jose from Monteverde leaving around noon. We could have left earlier with private transfer. Read more

Hello Meeleng,

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience and that the accommodations, guides, and drivers all met your expectations. We truly appreciate you highlighting those positives.

Regarding the traffic from Monteverde to San José — that’s an excellent point. Traffic in that area can be unpredictable.

Thank you again for traveling with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Costa Rica for another adventure soon!

Warm regards,
Olman

Holden put our trip plans together and was always available for questions. Wilmar and Serendipity Adventures were always checking in and making sure we were happy. Our two guides that stand out the most were Mariano for the LaFortuna area and Socio in Manuel Antonio. The best experience!!
