EXCELLENT Based on 374 reviews Posted on jessica vVerified buena buena me gustó solo el trayecto es un poco pesadaPosted on Amar ChopraVerified Must see if short on time I had an absolutely fantastic time on this day trip. The overall vibe was scenic and perfectly relaxing—we never felt rushed, which allowed us to truly take in the surroundings. A huge part of what made the day so special was our guide, Eric. He was phenomenal, sharing great insights into the local history and geography. I was particularly impressed by his deep knowledge of the plants during our walk through the botanical garden. Our driver, David, was also top-notch—courteous, professional, and a very safe driver, which made for a stress-free journey. To top it all off, the included lunch was splendid. We were served a delicious, traditional Costa Rican Casado that really hit the spot. Between the excellent pacing, the brilliant staff, and the great food, this tour is complete value for money. Highly recommend!Posted on Adolfo RVerified Exceeded Expectations — Outstanding Experiences I work in the tourism industry myself, so I naturally have very high expectations when it comes to tours and customer experience — which is exactly why I was so impressed by Summer Travel Costa Rica. I recently had the opportunity to do several tours with them, and every single experience exceeded my expectations. What truly stands out about this company is how well organized everything is from start to finish. Communication before the tours was always clear, detailed, and professional, which made planning completely stress-free. During the tours, the logistics were seamless — pickups were on time, schedules were perfectly coordinated, and every detail felt carefully managed. The tour guides were fantastic: knowledgeable, friendly, passionate about Costa Rica, and genuinely committed to making each experience special. The drivers were also excellent and made every journey feel safe. Their mini buses were clean and very comfortable, especially for longer day trips. What I appreciated most was that every tour felt unique and thoughtfully designed rather than rushed or overly touristy. You can really tell that this company cares about quality, customer experience, and showcasing the best of Costa Rica in an authentic way. After multiple tours with them, I can confidently say that Summer Travel Costa Rica is one of the most professional and reliable tour operators I’ve experienced. I highly recommend them to anyone visiting Costa Rica and looking for memorable, well-organized, and enjoyable adventures.Posted on Erena GDVerified A great tour boat ride experience (TORTUGUERO ISLAND) It is worth going for the 3 days 2 nights TORTUGUERO ISLAND in Costa Rica. A great guided unique tour with unforgettable experience taking the boat ride to see the howler, monkeys, crocodiles and various bird species. Tour Guide: Henry at the Tortuguero provides great tour services and also about the safety for the passengers. Adrian, the guide who arrange the shuttle pick-up for the passengers from different designated pickup points, is very courteous, friendly and experienced and also with a good sense of humors. Throughout the bus ride, with his expertise in travel industry experiences, he provided information for the interest of the passengers. Will revisit Tortuguero Island again!Posted on PatriciaVerified This was individual trips rather than 1 comprehensive trip. Best of all was whitewater rafting. Isla Tortuga charged $20 for sno Individual trips. Whitewater rafting was 5. Isla Tortuga charged for snorkeling that was supposed to be included. They did not respond to my inquiry. Tortuguerra should have been a 5 but I was placed with Spanish speaking boat. Guide did not explain much in English and we did not depart boat to see howler monkeys as the other boats did. I loved La Paz waterfall. Second best highlight of the trip.Posted on Journey16659424088Verified INOLVIDABLE VIAJE A COSTA RICA Un viaje muy lindo en el cual pudimos apreciar y disfrutar de la naturaleza, nuestros guías muy agradables y atentos solo Jairo fue grosero, en el hotel Radisson todo excelente, el único inconveniente fue la cancelación del tour a Manuel Antonio por motivos de tráfico a cambio de ese tour nos ofrecieron una cena la cual fue una completa decepción ni el lugar, ni la camisa, ni la atención. Asi lo dejamos saber a la agencia ya que el costo del tour es muy superior a la cena, estamos en espera de la respuesta, así nos lo hizo saber Thiago que desde un principio ha sido muy atento respondiendo nuestras dudas y estando al pendiente antes y durante nuestro viajePosted on Malcolm CVerified See Costa Rica with a local. We had a fabulous set of 5* tours with Abraham and Hayro. These guys work hard and long hours to give detailed, entertaining and informative tours over 7 days.Posted on Roam15143898899Verified Lots of driving, but had an amazing time Be warned. There’s a lot of driving involved. You leave in the early morning and come back in the late afternoon. Sometimes even later. If you can handle that, it’s a great way to see CR. Hayro was my driver for the majority of my day trips. He’s the best. He definitely made my day trips more memorable. I would definitely recommend this package to anyone who doesn’t mind a lot of driving.Posted on Camper09940292433Verified Amazing vacation! Amazing experience, Hayro was a fantastic guide!
