We had a fabulous vacation in Arenal and Guanacaste. My husband is a quadriplegic. As he is a farmer in the midwest of USA, he and I really enjoyed the organic farm tour with cooking class. The food was excellent and the people were so kind. The sloth tour and coffee and chocolate tour were very good and all accessible, as well. Also, the hanging bridges tour was good, however it rained most of the time so the animals were hiding.
Our lodging at Nayara gardens was off the charts unbelievable. Absolutely, beautiful resort, stunning casita with pool and wonderful food. We splurged staying there. It is hard for a wheelchair bound person to get around with the hilly terrain and with the rain too. Their staff would help in anyway to make things possible.
Our next lodging was at the Westin Conchal Reserve with club rooms. The rooms were ok. Enough room to get around but the lighting wasn't very good and the sink in the bathroom made a challenge for a few of our daily tasks. This is picky but for the price the pillows were awful. We had access to the club pool and that area was perfect. Lots of chairs available and shade. Loved seeing the howler monkeys in the trees. The food at the resort was not very good. I believe one evening, 2 of us in our group got food poisoning from the chicken parmesan. For my husband, the resort paths are cobblestone making it quite a bumpy ride to and from areas.
On a side note, we traveled with friends and we requested the accommodations. The tour guide they lined up for us, Allan, was great. He spoke very good English and took us to a great restaurant in Fortuna one evening that had really good steaks. That's really saying something since we are from beef country. Everything otherwise for transportation went very smoothly.

We enjoyed our week long visit to Costa Rica, a gorgeous country. Our guides were knowledgeable about the flora an fauna. Personality wise, they were very nice.

We had a fantastic trip to Costa Rica, thanks Il Viaggio Travel! Our agent, Agostina, was incredibly helpful at every step. Communication during planning was excellent, and she and I went back and forth multiple times as we hammered out an itinerary for our group. And when we unfortunately had to make some last-minute alterations to our trip (changing arrival and shortening the trip by a few days, along with some of the itinerary), Agostina worked with us to not only make things as easy as possible but also suggesting ways to alter tours to allow us to experience as much as possible from our original itinerary. We were still able to visit La Fortuna, Monteverde (Ziplining and hanging bridges, amazing!), Quepos (catamaran snorkeling tour), and Uvita, which was amazing!
Our driver Allan was also incredible, drove us everywhere we needed to go (some very long trips as well!), spoke excellent English, and made many helpful suggestions along the way. He was even able to give or find us options for alternative activities once we were at our locations, based on how we were feeling at the time or how long drives had turned out to be. An example was finding a local waterfall near Uvita (Catarata Uvita), where we were able to swim and even slide down the waterfall, as well as see a small butterfly garden with Blue Morpho Mariposas. He was also able to give us tons of information on local animals and sites, pointing out various animals and stopping the van to see them longer, as well as providing great suggestions for places to eat all throughout the trip. It was so important for us to have someone who really knows the area!
One note I would make about trip planning would be to watch travel times between sites. We found that the google maps drive time estimates were off by a lot several times, mostly due to traffic. The drives from Monteverde to Uvita, and then also Uvita to San Jose, turned out to be nearly twice as long as expected due to traffic. Fortunately, Allan often had more realistic estimates, so in some cases we were able to shuffle some plans to avoid being rushed.

Well organized tour with great destinations and accommodations. Competent and caring tour guide.
Throughly enjoyed the trip.

The lodging, tours, food and guide were great and accessible accommodations worked well for me. We enjoyed having leisure time built in so we could add a tour or relax at the beach club!
Next trip we won’t plan so much driving as traffic was significant.
Thank you! Laurel Gingrich

We have just returned back to the UK from a 7 night trip. What an incredible experience.
il Viaggio Travel - 100% recommend using this company for your guided tour / driver. They specialise in accessible travel ♿️ Booking with il Viaggio took the stress away and they organised everything. All of our transportation (10 seater minibus), hotels, trips/tours and restaurants were planned for us. From being collected from the airport, to being dropped at our final destination of the holiday, Emmanuel (driver/guide) stayed with us from start to finish. He was friendly, kind and so knowledgeable about his country and wildlife. We wouldn’t have spotted much without him, he is like a walking encyclopedia.
We were lucky enough to see 2/3 toe sloths, viper snakes, leaf ants, howler monkeys, dart frogs, toucans, owls, iguanas, Jesus Christ lizards, and lots more.
We spent the last 3 days relaxing at margaritaville as that’s what suited us best after 4 jam packed days. The sunsets on playa flamingo beach are stunning! All of the hotel staff were amazing, plenty of sun beds etc and the choice of food and drink was great. Short walk to bars / restaurants and small marina where we saw sting rays.
