We just returned from Costa RIca, and enjoyed having Amy customize 2 tours for us. We were a party of four, and had an exceptional River tour. Amy worked hard, to put together a half day fishing trip for the husbands... and they had a WONDERFUL time.. caught fish... and our resort staff cooked it for them!! Amy contacted us... More

We are now approaching the end of our 2-week vacation in Costa Rica. Our group of five (husband and I, plus three 20-somethings) have enjoyed the services of Avispas' Adventures twice so far, with one more trip to come. I completely agree with the comments of other reviewers about the personalized service provided by Amy and her staff. I would... More

I stumbled upon Avispas through TripAdvisors reviews and it sounded like a good match for my family of 4 (including 2 children ages 12 and 13). They exceeded our expectations in providing 2 amazing days of private tours that introduced us to Costa Rican sights, activities and culture. Amy was very responsive in emails. I let her know we were... More

My family went to Costa Rica 3 years ago and are now finally going back! I called Amy for advice for the upcoming trip since we used Avispa's adventures for our tours in our last trip. So glad to have her since our group has grown since our last trip. This time we're a group of 10 + a 1/2... More

This tour company is excellent and superseded my expectations. I am not a fan of tours, because I'd rather explore and enjoy novel experiences initimately, with friends and family, rather then a large group of strangers. Avispas provides private tours, which are always lead by knowledgable tour guides. We did two tours, including a boat ride through palo verde, where... More

than Avispas Adventures...convenience and hospitality beyond words. The owners, Amy and Avispa have personalized their tours to make everyone feel at home. You are given the most detailed and originally-native experience desired on an adventure tour while visiting another country! Amy's English language makes planning an excursion with them a cinch for English-speaking visitors. Even if your resort has an... More

I work in hospitality, and have for years. So, when I go away, I like to be taken care of. REALLY taken care of. I don't want to have to worry about ANYTHING. I don't want to have to think about how I'm getting where, and when I'm going to have to be there, and if I'm not going to... More

Our friends told us about Avispa tours/ adventures and highly recommended them. Our experience was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide Amy was perfect and super friendly. She made our journey into the jungle on a riverboat unforgettable. We were staying at El Bosque Del Mar, which has been great but charged much more for their tours but we haven't heard... More

While I did not visit Costa Rica myself, I communicated with Amy from Avispa's Adventures for six months regarding tours for my daughter and son-in-law, who visited from 2/11 to 2/18 for their honeymoon. I also purchased $400 worth of tour gift certificates from Amy. I can only say that she is the best, and my daughter and son-in-law will... More
