The first part of our Costa Rica adventure was shared by 42 guests. That sounds like a lot of people but the events were well managed so there really was not a lot of waiting around. The trip was very much a nature trip where we were able to see the Arenal Volcano because the weather was perfect. Our tour guide did an excellent job communicating, He was funny as well as knowledgeable and managed the trip very well. I would also like to review some of the extra experiences. Most were great. The brewery tour is the one where i have the most suggestions. It would help if the food was simplified and maybe an appetizer buffet relieved the staff of too much individualized work. Silverware should be given in the bags so often used by the restaurants. I really wanted to learn about several beers and taste perhaps five different beers where each of us were given a set of the five beers to taste.
