If one is thinking of retireing to Costa Rica possibly. How should one visit on a guided tour to show a person what they need to know? Or should they rent a car and travel. My husband and I sure could use some advice here. we also want to have fun on daytrips, not listening to seminars all day.Of course we don’t have a clue where to go and want to be safe also. Some tours cost an arm and leg too. Any advice is Greatly Appreciated!

You should check out George Lundquist’s tour. It is well worth the $$$. You won’t be listening to seminars all day, but you will get a wealth of information.
While I share some of John’s skepticism about tours, I still recommend George Lundquist’s which we took five years ago. Ignore all the places he takes you and the things he shows you, if you like. Just listen to what he says along the way and you’ll get your money’s worht out of it.
ARCR runs a monthly two-day seminar that gets good reviews. If you come here for an initial visit of a couple or three weeks, you could do much worse than to take George’s tour and then ARCR’s seminar. You’d still have plenty of time for exploring on your own, as John did.
Whatever you do, don’t rush this process. And if the cost of a tour is prohibitive then I suggest that you may not be able to afford this move regardless of other considerations.

I also would highly recommend George Lundquist’s tour. George is a dynamic individual who is willing to share his story and experience of relocating to Costa Rica. He gives a great tour, covers a lot of ground (literally and figuratively) for anyone considering relocation. He is a very forthright no B.S. kind of guy that tells you what you can expect moving to CR. He likes to see people well informed about the reality of relocating and makes very sensible and realistic recommendations. He promises to put you on information overload and easily fulfills that promise. I have not regretted for one minute taking his tour. My tour was June 2009, and I’m anxiously looking forward to my next trip to CR in May/June of this year to spend more time in country exploring but also having as “home base” a great B&B I stayed at on George’s tour. Good luck with your plans!
