Planning a Costa Rica trip with CRS Tours

Booking a tailor-made trip with CRS Tours is straightforward. Here is exactly what to expect, from your first message to the day you land in Costa Rica.

Your trip in four steps

1

Tell us what you are looking for

Share your travel dates, interests, budget and who is coming along — through our Free Quote form, email, WhatsApp or a phone call. No cost, no obligation.

2

We design your itinerary

A local travel specialist builds a personalized, day-by-day proposal: your route, handpicked hotels, tours and transfers. We fine-tune it together until it fits you.

3

Confirm your trip

Once you are happy with the plan, you secure your dates with a deposit. From there we arrange everything: hotels, guides, transfers and any day tours.

4

Travel with local support

You travel with a clear itinerary, our in-app map with driving directions, and a local team on the ground for anything you need along the way.

What is included

A tailor-made itinerary, handpicked hotels, private or shared transfers, bilingual guides, optional day tours, and more than 20 years of local know-how — all arranged for you so you can focus on the trip itself.
