El Salvador

“We have had a brilliant time in both Bogota and Medellin – the tours were all really well organised and thought through and really fun too. We loved the day in the classic car – a great way to travel round the city in the sunshine and the tropical storm!

The driver of the classic car is such a character! Both May Lin and Maria were wonderful guides and showed us a lot. And so friendly, helpful and kind too. Matteo who drove us around in Medellin was also very friendly and knowledgable. Maria in particular was delightful and took it upon herself to try her best to fatten us up with cheese infused goodies! 

So thank you – it has been a wonderful and memorable trip.“

We don’t know where to start… it has been absolutely amazing and far beyond our high expectations.

It’s impossible to say what experience or location/accommodation we liked most as all four have been so different but also so lovely/brilliant.

The cloud forest and the El Silencio was unbelievably beautiful (beyond jaw dropping at times).  The Arenal volcano,  its wildlife and activities,  were great fun and the tented village another level of accommodation.

Tortuguero lodge was so relaxed & laid back and set in such stunning natural surroundings, it shared all its wonder with us including the turtle nesting and baby turtles hatching, unforgettable.

The Caribbean coast around Puerto Viejo has the most outstanding beaches and we have been so lucky to see sloths and monkeys up close at beach edge while bathed in stunning sunshine. 

Every detail has worked like clockwork with simple transfers making the whole experience so easy. Every driver and guide and all the Costa Ricans we have met have been so lovely, friendly & welcoming and proud & informed about their country and its extraordinary wildlife and landscapes.

Thank you so much for the time put into planning our itinerary and booking so many details and activities that have been so memorable. We will happily recommend Linger & your services and Costa Rica as a destination to friends and family. I am sure we will return to Costa Rica in future and book further holidays thru you too.

“We’ve had the most wonderful vacation and have been most impressed with the smooth running of all the arrangements. We experienced a few unexpected happenings such as an earthquake of 6.1 magnitude, a touch of Montezuma’s Revenge and an accidental imprisonment in a hotel lift but, all in all, it’s been a really good trip. It’s given us memories to treasure as all vacations should do, so thank you for putting us in the care of brilliant guides like Gabriella (with her lovely Trinidadian accent) and Carlos who were enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about their subjects. All the arrangements worked as planned which made it a relaxing time, giving us the opportunity to make the most of every minute. Thank you too for the gifts on our arrival. The water bottles were most useful throughout. Thank you and your team for everything.”

“We went on 8 flights, to 5 countries, stayed at 12 hotels, crossed 3 land borders, and must have had about 30 tours – all of it meticulously planned and executed by Steve at LiNGER. From the very first call to discuss where in the world we should head, to returning home, LiNGER were there with us, ensuring everything just seamlessly fell into place.”

“Steve planned a once in a lifetime trip to Costa Rica for me last year, and it was SO good that it soon turned into a second in a lifetime trip this year too. Steve has such rich knowledge of the places I travelled to. He very quickly understood my brief and details about what I would like and where I would enjoy the most, he compiled an itinerary which was flexible and gave me a series of wonderful options, that we talked though and went through together, and was so helpful and thoughtful in the planning. No detail was left out. My trip was amazing, and Steve knows all the people and places en route which meant that I did not worry about a thing and genuinely looked for to each new destination with total confidence that it would be right. I would not hesitate in recommending Steve and his approach to travel – he really has a wonderful perspective that helps to bring the places you visit to life and gives you an experience to remember.”

“In love with Costa Rica and particularly Playa Chiquita. So many birds and the Beach Suite was pure magic. The guides were all wonderful as were all the activities.”

“It is soooo beautiful I have found my final resting place when I have only weeks left to live! I have found my divine, happy place here. They have upgraded us and we’re busy lying watching the trees change colour minute by minute, jacuzzi to die for, walk to waterfall and then massage before dinner. Tomorrow horse-riding before a jungle walk and jacuzzi then time to weep with a mix of joy and sadness before leaving. I love love love love love love love love love it! Thank you for finding such an undiscovered haven. I might have to extend my stay!”

“We’re currently in a taxi being driven home, it’s grey, raining and cold. Far from the weather in Costa Rica. Firstly, I’d like to say thank you so much for organising this trip, we loved every minute of it and could have stayed for longer. We can’t wait to tell you all about it! We experienced so much, even an earthquake whilst staying at Paos Volcano Lodge!”

“Well, we are nearly at the end and we have had a wonderful time. We have had some interesting weather but never when it mattered. In fact, seeing lightning storms over the ocean at night have added to the interest! We have seen so much and the trips have been wonderful. The catamaran seemed not very us at first but it was brilliant – we saw dolphins! So, just to say thank you again. It couldn’t have worked better!”
