About this trip

What an experience! Excellent itinerary to cater for many varieties of activities. Also allowed for flexibility when the need arose. Kim and  Elisha were great hosts - nothing was too much trouble. They both have an excellent manner in communicating with the group and were relaxed and fun loving. Kim’s local knowledge was very helpful. 
Accommodation was ideal at each destination and the food was delicious. It was fantastic to be away from mainstream tourism and really experience the true culture of Guatemala and Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

2025 ALMA & CHASIN 2-Countries TOUR - Guatemala / Costa Rica

Transfers to Antigua from Guatemala were well organised and easy to find. The house we stayed in was comfortable and location ideal. Kim was a fantastic host, welcoming and very knowledgeable. Lots of fun and laughter. Would highly recommend!

Extra Nights Lodging in Guatemala

A very impactful and clear picture of the true Costa Rica.

Private Group Trip

The kindness, knowledge and professionalism of Alma Travel is unmatched. Kim and Alex made the trip so enjoyable.  The "local" experience added such a wonderful element. I highly recommend Alma Travel! Pura Vida!

Exceptional!  Saw beautiful and interesting things that you won't always find on a Tourist map, so there were not a lot of tourists.  Went to unique restaurants.  Beautiful sights.

What a wonderful and diverse tour!   Under Kim's guidance, we experienced so much of what this fantastic country has to offer - from the heat of the Amazon where we stayed in little wooden cabins, spent time with the local community, explored the forest and fished in the river - to the wonders of Machu Picchu and Cusco.   I loved it all.     

AMAZONIAN & ANDEAN PERÚ - OCTOBER 4-17 2024

Casa Alma Travel with Kim and Alex provide the absolutely best travel experiences I have ever had! We were a group of six from Canada, ranging in age from 19 to 77. Everyone loved the activities and was well fed. All of the accommodations were absolutely perfect. Kim and Alex just make you feel so comfortable and cared for. We could completely relax and just appreciate Costa Rica. This was actually my second trip with them after travelling with a group of adult students as their chaperone a year ago. Highly recommend!!

Buchanan Family - Costa Rica 2025

We had great time. Kim and Alex are very caring leaders and all our needs were met .
We had a good group enough people to find your people which was great.
Starting with the Amazon was the highlight for me. A good 3 days in the forest on the river fishing or night walk to observe nature in the wild. All very grounding.
Matchu pitchu , Cozco were fabulous locations as described on the tin.
In all very satisfying experience.
Would recommend this trip to anyone, I already have . 
 Thank you both for this well organised amazing trip . Xx

Alma Travel Tee

If you are in any doubt about taking this trip don’t hesitate jump right in. You get a real feel for the country starting in Guatemala City in the South travelling up to Flores and the great Mayan temples at Tikal in the North with loads of adventures in between. A full fun packed itinerary made extra special by Kim the tour guide. Not only does she have a great knowledge of the country she provides those special moments like an impromptu picnic on a sunset boat trip. 
The volunteering part of the trip we worked with Fundamaya, an organisation that sponsors pre school education for families that have nothing, this was both rewarding and humbling. A Christmas party for 3 pre schools was a fun special occasion. 
You will not be disappointed.

This was my 2nd trip to CR with Alma Travel and it surpassed all expectations. I felt safe and cared about at all levels. Casa Alma is a little haven of welcoming with comfortable accommodation and plentiful delicious food cooked by Flory. Alex and Kim nurture your soul. The high level of activities and comfortable accommodations provided in the price was mind boggling! I did not have to think about a thing except having fun!! 
Turtle Trax was magical! Juan and the research assistants put us to work. I got a clear picture of turtle conversation. Thank you thank you, thank you! 💖👏🏻😊

The guides in Cusco, Machupicchu we're excellent. Kim working with Lucas the guide to take us to the Rainbow mountain who looked look after us all day. 
Kim's trips are very in touch with the people and the land. Thanks Kim and Alex who helped us who were a little ill.

Extra Nights Lodging in Lima

What an amazing adventure Kim and Alma Travel just took us on!!  The country, the people, the food, and especially the company….couldn’t ask for any better.  Having the comfort of knowing that Kim has taken care of everything, literally everything, allows you the freedom to focus on the experience surrounding you.  Her knowledge, and true admiration of the country is infectious.  There are lots of thoughtful surprises along the way as well. And on top of all the extra special care Kim provides…she is just a lot of fun to hang with!  Looking forward to my next adventure with Alma Travel❤️

AMAZONIAN & ANDEAN PERÚ - JULY 19- AUGUST 01 2024

Another fabulous travel experience with Alma Travel to all 3 areas of Peru, the coast, the Amazon and the Andes 

Met wonderful like minded travellers who are now friends, had so much fun, laughed loads, experienced things I had only ever dreamed of, shed a tear when I saw Machu Picchu

So many additional surprises arranged that were amazing 

Accommodation, food and travel fantastic 

Kim and Alex are simply the best .. thanks for the time of my life x


Hi Diane, Thank you for your reviews and preference! Pura Vida, Kim & Alex

The lodging at Casa Alma was simple and wonderful. The beds are twin beds and each room sleeps 4 people. Each room has its own bathroom as well. The house is (very safe) walking distance to stores, great restaurants, and even a mall and gym! I highly recommend Casa Alma!

Lodging for ESL Bootcamp at Boy with a Ball Costa Rica

We had the BEST time with Alma Travel! Not only are Kim and Alex SO NICE and thoughtful, but they are also very knowledgeable about Costa Rica's culture, history, etc. I loved that they could answer all of our questions. Kim is a native English speaker (but also fluent in Spanish) and Alex is fluent in Spanish (but also speaks English). It is the best of both worlds. I highly recommend traveling with Alma Travel. 

Marbella Doka, Poas & La Paz Tour

Our Costa Rica trip was A-maz-ing!  Alma Travel is a travel agent, concierge, chauffer, and personal assistant all in one!  Kim and Alex went above and beyond to customize our trip specifically for our family.  Kim booked our resort and all of our adventures.  She arranged all of our transportation so we did not have to worry about anything except enjoying ourselves.  We only had to show up at the airport and everything else was taken care of.  I'm not sure I want to travel any other way again!

Costa Rica Milestone Trip

Absolutely awesome, the destinations, variety of activities, accommodation and volunteering experiences were excellent. Thanks to Kim, all the guides, volunteers and people we met along the way. Highly recommended, a must do once in a lifetime trip that will leave memories to cherish.

DISCOVER GUATEMALA -HEART OF THE MAYAN WORLD - APRIL 14-27 2024

Beyond my expectations! Kim and Alex consistently exceed expectations by going above and beyond to provide the highest quality and value, while still keeping us humble in experiencing these amazing places and people! This tour hit all the things I love when I travel - animals, nature, culture, history and getting to meet and work with the local people! If you haven't traveled with Alma Travel yet, what are you waiting for? This was my third adventure with them and am already signed up for another! 

Discover Guatemala-Heart of the Mayan world-April 14-27 2024

Just wanted to commend AlmaTours for organizing such a fantastic tour for us. We did and saw so many amazing things on this tour.

When Iarrived in Guatemala city, I was welcomed by Alex, which immediately made me appreciate the hospitality from the very start of our journey..
 
Our tour guide, Kim was very knowledgeable and briefed us of every aspect of the places we visited. The driver was experienced as he was able to take us to the busiest parts of the country as well as the rugged parts as well with ease. .

Alma Tours provided us with great hotels, eateries . We would never have discovered these amazing places if we were going to do it on our own. Thank you Alma Tours.

Kim was so verry patient kind and considerate to everyone of us making each of us feel special and important 
Kim has such a love for people and the country. .. We were given an opportunity to see these places and people first hand ... Did not feel like an outsiders perspective at all... The small amount of volunteer work we did made each of us feel important and With a purpose... Thank you so much for this opportunity to experience Guatemala.The way you showed it to us and for the life changing experience...
Ps .. Climbing the volcano and roasting marshmallows in its core was definitely the cherry on the sundae....

.. Not sure when but I one hundred percent we'll travel with Alma Travel again and suggest it for anyone considering...Travel with a heart and soul..

Kim. and Alex are the best! If you are ready for a genuine experience of getting to know and feel the essence of a place, you can trust that they will provide for you.  I am truly grateful for their time,  guidance, knowledge and heartfelt presence that they bring to travel and it's people. 

DISCOVER GUATEMALA -HEART OF THE MAYAN WORLD - APRIL 05-18 2024

Traveling with Alma Group is more than a trip - it’s a full immersive experience. Kim & Alex are truly gifted at what they do. I felt safe and supported throughout the entire journey.  The organization is top-tier and every stop was meaningful. Thank for an incredible 2 weeks! I hope to join on another journey soon.

This trip felt like each activity added days. So many worthwhile experiences, meeting people, and sharing our love and hope for a better tomorrow. Our group had such great chemistry together that it enhanced our time. Sharing and caring our collective spirit was the best feeling ever.

Our tour of some of the highlights of Guatemala was amazing from start to finish! The locations, accommodation, included meals and activities were chosen with meticulous attention to detail, our driver was wonderful and our ever-adaptable, 'always on it' tour leader, Kim, was superb, as always. Can't eait for the 
next trip with Alma Travel.

Fabulous trip! Guatemala is such a beautiful and interesting country with wonderful food and friendly, helpful people. Kim is the perfect guide and the group were great to be with. Highly recommended!

Participating in the Happiness Journey, following the UN Annual Summit on Global Happiness, was a great way to experience Costa Rica. The stay in the rainforest and opportunity to experience both chocolate and coffee tours were highlights. Each restaurant and each experience was carefully curated to all our complete satisfaction. This travel firm earns my highest recommendation.

Happiness Journey March 2024

The trip was off the charts!!!
Alma travel delivered an amazing choice of restaurants and overnight accommodations. 
Alex Leon was a great driver and good companion.
Monserrat Løpez Aguerro did a great job of communicating details of the itinerary.

Had a wonderful vacation with an amazing group of people! Great experiences, food and relaxation. Would recommend this trip to anyone interested in exploring Costa Rica. 

Live the Pura Vida with Alma, Tropical Winter Getaway - January 2024

Casa Alma Travel Group was absolutely amazing.  We did not give them much time to plan our trip during the busy season.  They asked what we wanted to get out of the trip and we said we needed a trip of healing after the past year we had.  We gave them little direction.  They took care of the itinerary and all the plans.  The trip was perfect.  It was everything we wanted and more.  You get really submersed into the culture and learn a lot.  We loved the guides and felt it added a lot to the trip.  Would highly recommend this group for your travels.  They offer a lot of variety.  We will definitely use them again and they are wonderful to work with.

Bonikowske Costa Rica Adventure 2024

II had the best trip ever,working with the sea turtles was amazing..All the staff at Turtle Trax was so friendly and the food was amazing..All the accomadations were were fabulous..All the trips planned for us were so much fun..

SEA TURTLE CONSER-VACATION - LA FORTUNA & MONTEVERDE 2023

It was my second time on a similar trip and it was a fantastic experience. The Sea Turtle conservation project was very interesting and informative. I learned a lot about sea turtles, their nesting habits, the number of eggs they lay, the hatchlings' chance of survival when released, etc.  Everybody was very friendly, attentive to our needs and always ready to answer questions or provide clarifications.  

The Monteverde trip was great and I had to do the zip-lining again. Dining at the Tree House was a treat. 

La Fortuna is a favourite of mine. The hike through the Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park was a new experience and I loved it. The cacao farm was interesting and making chocolate bonbons was a fun way to spend a few hours.  And you can't go to La Fortuna and not go to the thermal bath. 



Absolutely perfect- easy to book & lovely drivers- nothing was too much trouble 🤩
Thank you so much 

Caribbean Transport Puerto viejo - San José

This really was a trip of a lifetime and a real privilege to be able to spend 5 days at Turtle Trax volunteering with the amazing people working there. Memories of the turtles and hatchlings will stay with me forever. 
We had a really great time in La Fortuna and Monteverde as well and all thanks so our wonderful bus driver Joel and amazing tour guide Yana.
Thank you to all at Alma Travel for making this a once in a lifetime trip! 

We had a wonderful time with Alma Travel, the whole experience exceeded all my expectations, Joel our bus driver was brilliant and Jana our tour guide went above and beyond to ensure we had a really amazing time. 

Caribbean Transport Alma Bus

I had a great time. Met wonderful people. Kim and Alex went out of their way to make this a truly remarkable adventure.
Yanna and Joelle, the tour guide and driver respectively, made the trip so much fun. The adventures were amazing ie the turtles,
the kids, the projects etc. Costa Rica is a beautiful place. The only thing I didn't like was the no-see ums that seemed to just love attacking me. 

Absolutely amazing 🤩
We had the best time and were so lucky with an arribada, turtles nesting & releasing hatchlings during our time at Turtle Trax
We met such lovely people & were so well looked after 
Nothing was too much trouble & Kim even arranged all our transport for our relaxing last few days on the Caribbean coast
Truly fabulous guide Janna & our driver Joel was so much fun in addition to being a great driver 
Accommodation was so comfortable, we were well fed & looked after 
Exploring, zip lining, volunteering just so much to love
If you were thinking to go just do it you will not be disappointed 🤩 the experience of a lifetime ✨️ 

Transport was amazing cannot fault any of it or the drivers Joel you are amazing great driver fun and entertaining you kept us laughing all the time Thank you 

Yet again a most amazing time loved both places, must admit horse riding was a bit more than I expected but was amazing and the views stunning, again Thankyou yanni and Joel, best tour guide and driver in Costa Rica the hotels were perfect food delicious love love Costa Rica.
