Client Stories

From people who were exactly where you are now.

They started with a vague idea, a list of browser tabs, and no idea who to trust. Here's what happened next.

I spent three weeks trying to plan our Costa Rica trip and was completely overwhelmed. One call with Elevate and I had a better plan in 48 hours than I could have built in three months. They knew the exact guide for a family with young kids in Arenal, found us an Airbnb we never would have found online, and saved us over $300 on tours alone. Worth every cent — and then some.

We'd never been to Central America before. The idea of figuring out guides, transport, and where to stay felt impossible. They made it feel easy — and the itinerary they built was better than anything we'd seen on any travel blog. We still talk about the private waterfall tour they arranged in the Osa.

As a solo female traveller, I had specific concerns about safety and getting around on my own. They didn't just reassure me — they built the itinerary with those concerns in mind from the beginning. The WhatsApp support during the trip was the thing I didn't know I needed until I needed it.

We told them it was our honeymoon and they took it seriously. The dinner they arranged on our last night in Guanacaste — a private setup at a beach restaurant run by a family they know personally — was the best meal of our lives. You don't get that from a booking site.

My husband and I are in our sixties and had never done anything like this. We were nervous about planning something so far from home. Elevate Costa Rica held our hand through every step — not in a patronising way, in a genuinely helpful way. We've already told six people to call them.

I'm pretty experienced at planning my own trips, so I was skeptical about paying someone to do it. But the level of access they have is just different. The rafting guide they connected me with on the Pacuare has been running that river for 20 years. I wouldn't have found him in a hundred hours of research.
