Enjoyed the trip, which was well organized. A pity time ran out on some things to watch. Helpful to be provided with a taxi for the return trip

I don't like to wait in a hot bus for 30 minutes while some of our group were shopping. That should be on one's own time!
Lunch was very good.
Wasn't much to see in San José. ????

Nice highlights tour. Very knowledgeable guide. My only complaint is that our group was largely Spanish speaking with only 8 or so English speakers and the guide would describe things very briefly in English but would give much longer explanations in Spanish, so we felt like we were missing out on information. Lunch was very good.
