This was the MOST amazing trip. I was a little skeptical at first because it seemed way too easy and seemed like too good of a deal but it was basically perfect. Our guide Kattia was THE BEST! She was knowledgeable, funny and kind and our driver, Eric, made us feel so safe and secure and went above and beyond ❤ We were lucky enough to have a small group and everyone was fantastic.

I bought 2 of these Groupons for my family of 5 to use. One thing of note, adding an additional child to a room is not $599, it was more like $799 so if that matters, confirm with the company before purchasing. I was able to contact the company before purchasing to ensure that we would be able to use the Groupon on the dates we needed. Daniel was VERY helpful. The trip was AMAZING. I purchased it thinking, well, it's with my kids. They won't know if we are staying in nice places or not. It exceeded my expectations in so many ways. The first day is absolutely PERFECT. My one piece of advice is to dress with leggings/jeans on and a bathing suit under your clothes for that first day. It says you will get to change, but they cannot promise that. We packed a bag thinking we would change between activities and the guide was a little miffed at us for "not being ready." Take something dry to change into if you want, but wear the suit to start off with (and leggings/pants for horseback- you will enjoy it more if you do that). Almost all the accommodations were lovely. The Hacienda after the first day was very......rustic.....and definitely the least luxurious of all places, but it is a working farm and it was fine. The grounds were amazing to wander and the hot springs were so cool!!!! The other places (in monteverde and samara) were gorgeous. So much is included- breakfast every day was good. Many lunches. You could not book all of this on your own and pull it off for this price. Jesus, our photographer, was absolutely a bright spot of the trip. I cannot recommend this trip enough. I was VERY pleasantly surprised by the accomodations and the amount that was included.
