Here’s just five of over 10,000 reasons why our guests keep coming back for more:

DANNY, OUR TOUR GUIDE WAS AMAZING! His knowledge of Peru was outstanding and it was like taking a tour with a good friend. He was extremely patient, well organised, and on top of everything. The itinerary was well thought out and maximised the most of our time in Peru. I’ve done a fair amount of travelling, but this was the first time I did a tour. I have no regrets and I would definitely book with Costsaver again! I loved how everything was taken care of for us. From the transportation to and from the airport, to baggage collection between flights from one location to the next, to any tickets we needed, Danny, our tour guide, took care of everything. It allowed me to thoroughly enjoy the entire trip and not have to worry about any of the planning behind the scenes PERU EXPLORER

Brandon O. from USA

AMAZING TRIP WITH BREATHTAKING NATURE experiences, delicious food, & fantastic hotel choices. We had the time of our lives and would go back in a heartbeat. I’ve been recommending to all of our friends. Great memories made while zip lining, horseback riding, hiking in the rain, touring El Trapiche and relaxing in hot springs. Loved it! COSTA RICA ADVENTURE

Megan F. from USA

BOTH THE TOUR DIRECTOR DREW AND DRIVER JULIO WERE EXCELLENT, always looking out for the people on tour. I would definitely recommend it and will look to travel with them again SPECTACULAR CANYONS AND NATIONAL PARKS

Saul from USA

OUR TOUR DIRECTOR ROBINA WAS EXCELLENT. Nothing was too much for her, she was amazingly attentive to all the passengers on the bus. Very bubbly personality, always smiling and it is clear she absolutely loves her country and her job. Al the bus driver again I could not fault him, he often shuttled us around to and from town. The bus was immaculate and I remember looking outside my hotel window late one afternoon to see him washing the bus after a very long days drive. From start to fi nish the tour, including the amazing cruise, was wonderful. I especially liked how we stayed 2 days in each area. Plenty of time to explore or do optional extras. There were lots of eating options and our tour Director always had good ideas on where to eat and very reasonably priced. Much better than a previous tour I went on where meals were included.
