Client Testimonials
C.R. Referrals did a great job helping us plan our recent vacation to Costa Rica. They were responsive and easy to communicate with throughout and they gave us a lot of peace of mind before and during our trip.

Spent 2 weeks in CR in with my son. CR Referrals put together an excellent itinerary, was very flexible as we made several adjustments prior to the trip, and kept in constant touch with us while we were in Costa Rica, particularly to ensure we were safe during Hurricane Otto and to monitor if any changes would have to be made because of the hurricane (which turned out not to be the case).

So happy to have found C.R. Referrals! I received quotes from 6 other travel sources from Costa Rica and then I found C.R. Referrals from a great review. They helped me plan the perfect itinerary for my daughter and I. It included private transfers, outstanding excursions, beautiful hotel accommodations and time to visit another daughter studying in San Jose.

Just got back from a action-packed trip to Arenal and Corcovado. The entire 8 days went off without a hitch including lots of transfers and a couple of air flights in country. James Armstrong was responsive, creative, and most of all, patient with my many questions.

Catalina, with C. R. Referrals, planned our trip to Costa Rica and did a fantastic job. There were 15 people in our party varying in age from 7 years old to 71 years old and everyone had a wonderful time. Thanks, Catalina, for doing such a great job!! It was a trip we will always remember.

Catalina set my family and i up on a trip of a life time! I have been a traveler for over 35 years, and rely sometimes heavily on an outside source planning my adventure. C.R. Referrals planned out a trip that exceeded everyone's expectations. I had questions while on the trip, and Catalina was very attentive, and was always willing to work with my crazy family changing their minds constantly. Catalina is the very best....My only wish was that their service be world wide.

C.R. Referrals did an absolutely amazing job putting our vacation together. They completely customized it to what we were interested in and did an incredible job. Every last detail was taken care and it all went so smoothly. They planned a 12 day trip for us with a focus on Nature and it was the perfect balance of activities/downtime. All the accommodations they recommended/booked for us were wonderful. Thank you CR Refferals for an amazing vacation!

Wow! What a perfect vacation arranged by C.R. Referrals. We worked with James, who coordinated the perfect itinerary for us and our three children, ages 11-15. He organized everything we wanted to do on this 13 day trip (zip lining, Arenal hikes, hot springs, rainforest tours, Tortuguero, Manuel Antonio, mangrove tours...) including a wonderful surprise of a birthday cake on an on-route travel day for my son's 11th birthday! (gratuitous by CR Referrals- just so amazingly generous). Such incredible personalization of service.

C.R. Referrals Travel/Elope in Costa Rica planned our entire elopement adventure! It was such a relief to have the stress of planning for such a big day completely off of our plates. We shared our interests on the types of adventures we’d like, the experiences we wanted from our hotel stays, as well as the details we wanted to have in our private elopement, and Catalina did the rest. Seeing how it all came together so beautifully makes me and my wife want to relive the day over repeatedly.

We spent 2 amazing weeks in Costa Rica planned by James. The trip ran like clockwork and was exactly what we hoped for. Excellent communication from James, an itinerary that really worked for our family and our interests plus friendly and knowledgeable local guides. Would 100% recommend!!
