Travel comments

Time to send along our impressions of the trip. The country was great, clean roads, clean people, clean air. The tours were very informative and fun (Id do the Zip-lining again, in a flash, perhaps Janet would need some more persuasion though). The canned tours were well timed as was the punctuality of the shuttles/taxies to go to-and-fro. Food/wine and water were all very good as was the beach. Hotels were top of the line (the Bougainvillea hotel is a real gem, they must advertise more about their grounds (and their own well for water))(the view at dinner from the Xandari, of San Jose was beautiful). Very enjoyable, Very professional. Hats off to you and your cohorts down there.  Regards,

We just returned from our trip to Costa Rica —you did a great job. Every driver was on time, courteous, and friendly. Every hotel greeted us like long lost friends. Every guide was informative and friendly. They did call us from our hotel in San Jose saying the scheduled raft trip was not full and would we take a longer, more difficult one (class 3 and 4) for the same price. We said yes. It was great fun and very wild. The weather was perfect and we saw lots of animals, birds, flowers, and butterflies. We also added a evening walk through the jungle in Monteverde— very good and a lava viewing evening drive in Arenal. Thanks again, Nancy. Think of another exciting trip for us!!

Just had to write to say what an amazing holiday we had in Costa Rica. I could write tomes about it but wouldn\'t want to bore you. The Horizontes agency were excellent. Everything that was arranged went absolutely perfectly. I just had to thank you for all your efforts in arranging the trip. The suggestions you made we just perfect. Can\'t thank you enough. Although it might be some time before we could do something similar again, I should be please if you would keep us on your mailing list. Regards

We want to thank you for arranging the last four days. The last two hotels were wonderful and Trogon was all right although I wish we had gotten into your original choice. The highlight of the trip was German Vargas, the driver/guide.  What a nice man. He was not only knowledgeable, but fun to be with and a good driver I can\'t imagine  that anyone could be better. Will you pass the word along that we give him a 5 star recommendation - you also for your planning that worked like clockwork. Thank you so much.  Gratefully,

Georgina Clayton

 

We miss you and Costa Rica already. I don't think we have ever enjoyed a vacation as much as we did this one with you in your wonderful country. We are already thinking about a return! It is cold and brown and quiet here in Connecticut!  Thank you, so very much, for your care and concern and excellent treatment.
