A custom tour designed by Destino Tropical does not cost more than a regular package tour from any tour operator or agent. Actually, most packaged tours involve a whole chain of middle people including a wholesaler and a retailer who all need to make a cut.
Technology allows small travel agents like us to provide lower prices than packaged tours sold by most big travel agents. As an additional bouns, you get the local knowledge of all details and current conditions in Costa Rica, plus the years of experience designing custom vacations. We have more ideas, more flexibility and will create a unique travel experience that you will remember forever.
In general, the differences in the cost of a vacation are the hotels chosen to say at.
The same itinerary for a couple that want to stay at small hotels or Bed & Breakfast can cost 1/3 less if another couple wants to stay at 3 or 4 star hotels. All Tours cost the same and it may be the same for private transfers or renting a car.
Domestic flights in the country are very useful for not spending a lot of time on the roads, since Costa Rican distances are "tricky" because even dough is a small country, it takes a lot of time from one place to the other because of the mountains, curves, narrow roads, traffic.
But the cost of these flights will increase a lot your vacation, around $90 each way, more or less depending on the route.
