Costa Rica Itinerary Help

ATTENTION: We are currently not taking on custom itinerary clients.

If you would like assistance arranging your tours/activities, we are still offering our Tour Booking Service. We can also book you on Private Shuttles. Please refer to those separate pages for additional detail and to get in touch.

Travel Agency Referral: If you would like a referral for a local travel company that can do a custom itinerary and help make all your arrangements, we know of a very reputable one. Feel free to email us at info(at)twoweeksincostarica(dot)com and we can send you their contact information.

Customized Itinerary Service

You’ve booked tickets for a dream vacation to Costa Rica. Now all that stands between you and paradise is a little time and some careful planning. But we know, it’s not always that easy. Sure you have some general ideas about the places you’d like to go and things you’d like to do but aren’t sure of all the details. We can help. We’ve traveled throughout Costa Rica as tourists and now have the locals’ perspective.

How Our Custom Itinerary Service Works

Through our in-depth customized itinerary service, we help you pinpoint destinations and give recommendation for hotels (3-4 options for each location), activities and tours, and restaurants. We also help with transportation, whether you prefer shuttles or a rental car. If you select this service, you will get a 10-30 page document that creates the framework for your entire trip. We base our recommendations on your personal preferences, which are gathered through an online survey and our correspondence. This means that the recommendations are catered specifically to you. In addition, unlike some travel agencies, we don’t work from a list of hotels and tour companies. Instead, we recommend the best options for you whether we have a relationship with them or not.

After we send the itinerary and you decide which hotels, tours, and transportation options you want to book, we make the reservations for you. We are a travel agency (learn more about our travel agency here). This service is included in our fee.

Prior to your trip, we also provide final itinerary documents with the details for all your reservations. This includes driving directions between destinations if you are renting a car so that you won’t have any problems navigating Costa Rica’s roads. 

To get started, send us a message via the Contact Form below. Please provide your travel dates and the number of people in your party. Also let us know anything you have in mind for your trip. We will then send: (1) an email with a quote and deadline for us to complete the itinerary; (2) a quick survey to learn more about your budget and travel preferences; and (3) an invoice via PayPal (or Stripe if you prefer). Once we receive your survey response and payment, we will add you to our schedule and start working on our recommendations.

*Note on Airbnbs and VRBOs: For accommodations, we search for the best resorts, hotels, eco-lodges, and bed and breakfasts in your budget. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide recommendations for Airbnbs and other vacation rentals. These rental listings often have incomplete or inaccurate information. This makes it too difficult for us to ensure that they are good options for our clients.
