The lodges, food, staff, guides, excursions were all exactly what we wanted. We have been planning our return trip since we arrived there! We had an amazing time. Such a beautiful country. I’m so happy we used our entire time in Belize. Maybe someday we will be able to visit Tikal, too but what we saw this trip was extraordinary.

Thank you so much for your knowledge and expertise. We couldn’t have had this trip without you! We can’t wait to do it all again! We have both been recommending your services to others. We feel so lucky to have found you! Thanks, again! read less

I started way late in making the request and it was over the Christmas holiday, of all times!

She found two wonderful accommodations in two different parts of the country to include all of the transfers for 5 separate journeys. It was seamless. We were able to see different areas of CR to allow for diversity. She is such an expert on Costa Rica that she could give us suggestions and make arrangements once I passed them through our group.

Another wonderful part was that she kept in touch with us while on our trip. Making sure things were going well and asking if there was anything we needed.

I haven't used a travel agent in probably 20 years but Rachel changed that thinking for me; I will certainly do this again and will recommend Rachel for anyone headed to Belize or Costa Rica! read less

We knew we wanted to go to Costa Rica and had been planning this trip for a while, but had no idea what to do or where to go. Rachel set us up with an amazing vacation, with activities that we wouldn't have even thought to do, which made our trip that much more memorable.
We will definitely use Rachel again for future trips Central America, that are already being talked about now. read less
