Testimonios de TRAVEL EXCELLENCE

Hello Travel Excellence Team,

After months of planning and booking, about 6 months in advance, me and my family thank you very much for a very memorable vacation trip to CR. I had the opportunity to work with Mauricio and i couldn’t ask for a much better planner than him. He understood my family’s needs and dietary requirements and put together an amazing 10day itinerary which kept the youngest member (5yr old ) to the oldest member (65yr old) happy and entertained.

Be it sightseeing on the Arenal lake to Ziplining across the cloud forest or the night safari in the rain forest to a cultural walking tour of San Jose, Mauricio did an outstanding job.

Another aspect of this itinerary is the excellent co ordination with pickups and drop offs from our hotel to each attraction. Any place we go our reservations were ready and good to go without any wait time. The flow of events were seem less. We felt like royalty at each attraction to have everything set and ready to go when we arrived. 24hr operations team were just an email away and were happy to help us out with anything at any hour. They promptly got back to every email I sent them regarding the itinerary.

We like to travel and have worked with a few travel agents from other countries, by far Mauricio with travel excellence and team are the THE BEST!

Costa Rica 🇨🇷 was amazing to us. Full of warm, welcoming people. We will definitely visit again and looking forward to working with Travel Excellence again.

Good morning Mauricio

Unfortunately we are already back home, we would have liked to stay much longer. Your country is a paradise. We would like to thank you personally for the unforgettable tour you arranged for us.

My husband and I have rarely been so delighted with a travel agency like Travel Excellence. Even the local excursion agencies work very professionally.

Thanks to you we will be traveling to Costa Rica again and will continue to recommend you to our friends and acquaintances.

We wish you continued success and a happy new year to you and to the whole team,

Anita & Michele Spescha Pagnamenta

Good morning, Mauricio!

I’m sending a response for Stan Whiteman on our family excursions with Stevenson and Bernardo. I want to echo what Stan said, our family had such a wonderful time and really enjoyed Stevenson and Bernardo’s company and knowledge – we couldn’t have had better days.

I have written a Facebook recommendation and will write a TripAdvisor review with five stars! I’ve also attached a couple of photos that you can use to show future clients. You’ll also find a short review of each excursion below.

Excursion one: waterfall and rainforest visit

Our family had an amazing time visiting a beautiful Costa Rican waterfall and truly enjoyed all the rainforest tour had to offer. The lunch we had at the Hummingbird Café prior to our tour was some of the best food we had in Costa Rica. The hospitality was also top-notch. We were able to see quite a few sloths, monkeys, tree, frogs, and other local wildlife as well as absolutely gorgeous tropical Rainforest plants and trees. Our tour guide was expert level – if we could do it again we absolutely would. Our driver Bernardo was wonderful and Stevenson our guide, provided us with so much local information. We learned so much. Thank you Jacamar, for a great local experience!

Excursion two: Monte Verde, zip line, adventure, and Don Juan, coffee plantation tour

What an adventure! Our family was able to zip line through the Cloud forest of Monte Verde. Our tour guides were very flexible and allowed us to stop at the Monte Verde Brewing Company for local brews before we were able to visit the Don Juan coffee plantation where we were able to use all of our senses to learn about how coffee and chocolate are processed at the plantation. This was a very long day for our tour guides and they never lost patience with our large family. What an amazing day in an amazing country!

Mauricio,

We had a great trip to Costa Rica. My wife, daughter and I all appreciated Travel Excellences efforts to make our trip enjoyable. First, you were very responsive to my inquiries and requests.

The hotels and tours you suggested were all very good. We enjoyed our stays at both Daria Beach and Arenal Manoa. The rooms, food (especially the plentiful breakfasts) and environs were
terrific.

The catamaran ride, waterfalls tour, rainforest, coffee/chocolate tour and volcano hike were amazing. The golf course I played was a lot of fun too.

The Travel Excellence drivers we had were reliable, punctual, and personable. We especially liked Walter, who drove us on nov. 30 and Dec. 4, and Carlos, who drove us to Liberia on Dec. 7. Both made the long drives more enjoyable and comfortable.

With appreciation,

Hi Mauricio,

We are still talking about the trip!! It was so fun and one of the best trips we have ever had.

Our complete trip was well organized and planned. We did not have any problems during our travels. You did a wonderful job with what we wanted to see and do, and put together a great itinerary. Can’t say enough good things of how our trip went. Thank You!!

Thank you,

Hola Mauricio,

I wanted to thank you for creating a memorable vacation for myself and my husband.
We are now back home, and getting caught up on Fall gardening.
Reflecting on our spectacular Costa Rican vacation.

For us, we did everything that we had wanted, we swam in two oceans, saw many many exotic animals and birds, and truly enjoyed the beauty of your small country. Without exception
the drivers, the tour guides, and the hotel staff were beyond wonderful.

Thank you so much for helping to make our dream vacation come true!

Best wishes,

Mauricio at Travelexcellence is an outstanding travel agent… He’s knowledgeable, thorough and has a very good attitude… He helped me on my recent trip to Costa Rica, and I would certainly use his services again… Everything he did for me worked out…he made some very good suggestions on places to visit… If you’re going to Costa Rica and want to put together an excellent and enjoyable itinerary, or just have questions about transportation, etc., I highly recommend Mauricio…

Hello! As our journey here in Costa Rica comes to an end, we want to give our absolute biggest and warmest thank you’s to all of you at Travel Excellence! Having you by our side this trip has been amazing and so reassuring and helpful that it has sometimes felt too good to be true. You guys all do an absolutely remarkable job and we are so happy we got to travel with you by our side! Our biggest most heartfelt thanks, Pura Vida!

Our final night in Costa Rica!
We’re so sad to leave. Everything has been amazing.
Thank you for helping make it happen so flawlessly.

To Travel Excellence,

I wanted to email to say thank you for your fantastic service. Me and Liz booked to come to Costa Rica for our honeymoon and we had a magical time.

The itinerary was amazing and we got to see so much wildlife and so much of your beautiful country. All of the hotels we stayed in were very good and we got a few room upgrades as it was our honeymoon. All of the staff at the hotels were welcoming and helpful.

You have a brilliant fleet of drivers who went above and beyond to show us and teach us more about your beautiful country. They are all very passionate, kind and knowledgeable.

The guides for all the excursions were also exceptional. Their ability to spot wildlife was amazing to watch. They were also very passionate and knowledgeable about the wildlife and the country itself. I would like to single out Ed who was our guide in Tortuguero for a few days. He was always smiling, funny and had lots of information about all of the wildlife seen and the country itself. Me and Liz did not know what to expect as we had not done a holiday like this before but Ed made us feel relaxed straight away.

Thank you to everyone at Travel Excellence for working hard to make sure we had a wonderful time. Our honeymoon was truly special and we have you to thank for that.

We would both strongly recommend you to anyone we know who is considering going to Costa Rica.

We cannot thank you enough.

Kind regards,

¡Hola Mauricio! Ya estamos en Madrid esperando el vuelo a Barcelona, se acabó lo bueno, ¡qué cortito se me ha hecho!

¡¡Quería darte las gracias por la magnífica organización y toda tu atención en todo momento, ha sido una maravilla!!

El viaje ha sido de 10 y tú de 10.000, estamos super contentos y felices con la organización y como ha salido todo y sobre todo también de haber elegido esta fecha (Junio 01-11-2024) ya que en muchos lugares hemos estado muy solos y eso es como más lo disfrutamos.

Mil gracias!

Un abrazo!

Travel Excellence really lived up to their name! We found the company to be extremely helpful and professional. They provided us with an excellent experience and guides were both friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend using them whilst in Costa Rica

Thank you once again,

Rachel

Hi Mauricio

I hope you’re well!

A week since returning from paradise, we wanted to express how grateful we are for all your help and assistance for our incredible holiday. We had the most amazing time and that was in no small part thanks to your planning, advice and organisation of the trip, as well as your attentiveness to help us while we were out there.

The hotels you chose were perfect, with particular mention to Nantipa and Aguas Claras which will both live long in the memory. We saw amazing wildlife and had great fun on the tours and the guides were really excellent. There was nothing across the whole holiday we would have changed – we both had an incredible three weeks so thank you again for making it so outstanding.

Costa Rica is a truly special place. Its people, natural wonders and culture make it a destination which is perfect or us. We will not hesitate to recommend it (or your company) to our friends and families.

We hope to return some day and we are sure that we will.

Thank you again and pura vida!

Good Morning Maurico!

I am so sorry it has taken me so long to write this email.  I just wanted to thank you for planning our vacation, March 2-9.  My husband and I had a wonderful relaxing time in Costa Rica.  Our drivers and tours were great.  A special thank you for the anniversary fruit platters at both hotels.  It made our day at each hotel.  I will be in touch for our next trip for sure.  Next time we’ll try the Caribbean coast!  We love your country!

All our best,

We had a great time in Costa Rica, Mauricio from Travelexcellence had made a great plan for three of us, even though we booked the trip in last minute. The arranged accommodations were fantastic, with great hosts and nature surrounding. We enjoyed all the tours and the guides were great. The only regret was the holiday not being long enough.
