Hotels in Costa Rica and the charter bus company demand a 50% deposit when making the reservation.

The tour surcharge will not be returned.

Note:  Because of the fairly high number of unforeseen crises that have arisen to passengers and potential passengers in the past, passengers are encouraged to take out travel-protection insurance should accidents, family emergencies, medical problems and the like arise.   Your local insurance or travel agent may be able to assist. In no case will the steveglassmantours LLC bear the responsibility for these emergencies.
