First and foremost, I'd like to sincerely apologize for the experience you and your family had with our tour service. At Costa Rica Premier Tours, we pride ourselves on providing top-notch experiences for our guests, and it's clear we fell short during your visit.
I understand your frustration about the guide’s behavior and the lack of communication, especially when you invested in a private tour. I wanted to clarify a few things. The reason our guide met you in Liberia instead of at your hotel is because the bilingual tour had missed the bus that day due to an emergency pick-up time at 6:00 am. We apologize for this oversight.
However, I also want to mention that our guide had an unforeseen family emergency the night before your tour, which kept him up until 2 am. We do not condone or excuse any lapse in professionalism, but we believe in being transparent with our guests about the challenges our staff may face. This, however, doesn’t justify the lack of acknowledgment and communication upon meeting your family, and the recurrent episodes of him dozing off.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the hot springs, but I'm disappointed that the food did not meet your expectations. We will be reviewing our partnerships to ensure consistent quality in all areas of the tour experience.
We take feedback like yours very seriously and will be addressing this with the guide and our team to prevent such incidents in the future.
Thank you for your feedback, and once again, our sincerest apologies.
Warm regards,
