We had an amazing 7 day trip to Costa Rica in the middle of March. We travelled in a wheel chair friendly van as my sister- in - law is in a wheel chair. Our guide (Martin) and driver (Louis) were exceptional and made travel easy. The highlight of the trip for my sister in law was zip lining and swimming in the ocean with an amphibious wheel chair. It was an amazing experience!

Clients had a great time. Communication between agent to agent wasn't a smooth as it has been in the past. I'd still use you all again in the future.

The trip was excellent. There was a lot of great discussion to plan a trip that appealed to a family with teenagers. Costa Rica is an incredible destination but it was so much better having such a knowledgeable guide. Diego has a wealth of experience and has an incredible amount of knowledge on history, plants, animals, the people - really anything we could ask. He's reliable and friendly, too. And everywhere we went, he knew everyone! It was a great pleasure to work with him on such a great adventure!

Our trip booked via Il Viaggio travels was great. Everything went smoothly, the communication was on spot, the guides /drivers that were assigned were courteous and knowledgeable, the hotels booked were as we had discussed. The activities were what we needed as a family with free time as well to relax. I would recommend Il Viaggio travels for your Costa Rica vacation.
