Dear Sylvia, We returned from Costa Rica last week, and we all had a wonderful time. Our grandsons loved the tram ride in the rainforest and enjoyed the guides' explanation of the creatures and plants in the forest. We thought the trip to Arenal was lovely also. We were lucky and saw the cone and the steam from the volcano. I wish thank you for all the arrangements and let you know that all your representatives were very helpful and kind to us. They are also very knowledgable of Costa Rica. Thanks again for all your efforts.

"We had another wonderful trip to your country do Costa Rica. We want to again thank you for the experiences we had.

Many thanks for december 18 and 19 – the two day trip to Arenal Volcano staying at your hotel – Arenal Volcano INN. The room gave us a beautiful view of the Volcano. The highlight was when we were awokemn 2am to the roaring sound. As we looked out the window, we saw thw volcano erupting and  lava rock flowing from the volcano. What an experience. Those tow days were such a wonderful holiday with all the meals and drinks included.

We enjoyed the free all day tour on December 22 that took us to Grecia and Sarchi. Your bus drivers and tour guides are so thoughtful and professional.

Thank you for the invite to the office Christmas Party on December 23. What wonderful food and refreshments.

We appreciate all you do for us during our stay in San Jose. You are one of the reasons  we keep returning to your country. When we return home we tell all we meet about our experiences and the wonderful tours Expediciones Tropicales provides. Your tour bus drivers are well trained and cautious. Your tour guides are very knowledgeable about the sights in your country and considerate of the tourists. The office staff are always so polite and helpful.

I am sending pictures to you and Teresa. They were mailed today.

Thank you. Thank you.  See you next year.

Mr and Mrs Robert Brown will be using your services February 7-9. Please take good care of them. They enjoy the outdoors – more than cities.."

His nice spirit, knowledge of the country and attitude simply could not be beat. He allowed to all feel very comfortable with our trip. We'll be back to Costa Rica someday and will surely look up your company for assistance. Have a great Christmas season."
