Editor’s Take
What to look for in Costa Rica Tour Reviews
Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary.
Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.
Nature tours are a huge part of traveling in Costa Rica and most reviewers reflect positively on these experiences. Reviews especially highlight the benefit of having a knowledgeable expert tour guide to help describe the many different species and point out particularly well camouflaged wildlife.
In addition, tours of Costa Rica usually have a strong focus on responsible and sustainable travel, often incorporating assisting with various wildlife initiatives into their itineraries.
That said, some negative Costa Rica tour reviews warn that it felt like the tour company had presented false information regarding responsible travel. Depending on your personal views, you may or may not agree, so be sure to read these reviews carefully.
Service level varies quite a bit when traveling in Costa Rica. Luxury eco lodges aside, for the most part you should expect to face some different levels of comfort than you may be used to at home. Travelers who may have been expecting a higher level of service, and no bugs, will have been in for a rude surprise, and this is another thing that could account for poor ratings.
Most travelers reviewing Costa Rica seem to have enjoyed their trip itinerary. Costa Rica is fairly small, so it’s easy to see a lot of the major sites, meet locals, and even have some free time to spend on the beach.
