“Rough Guides working with local provider GWA in Costa Rica provided a fantastic experience. Mixture of adventure experiences with nature. Communication was always polite and prompt. Organisation and logistics went very smoothly. And planning was flexible allowing upgraded hotels, private transfers to bespoke our experience and fit around our schedules and flights. Will definitely use Rough Guides in future. They exceeded my expectations. Pura Vida !”
