The richest and most informative tour experience of my life
I was in a group that took Christopher Howard’s Live and Retire in Costa Rica Combo Tour which covered both the beach areas and the Central Valley. This has been the richest and most informative tour experience of my life and well worth the cost. I heard that by completing this tour I would discover if Costa Rica residency is right for me. By the time we finished I felt entirely comfortable with joining the ARCR and pursuing a Pensionado Residency. I love the country so far and I’ve decided it’s the right choice. The tour gave the information and tools to make this kind of life-altering decision with high confidence. After a little more time to sleep on it, I will probably stay here and do so without always wondering if some other place might suit me better.
This tour was all it was advertised to be and more. Chock full of solid facts and the right decision-driving data. I have been equipped and empowered to make my move successful and as economical as possible. At no time was there any pressure to buy real estate or anything else. Chris simply provided the exposure we all wanted to the local market and conditions. We found out what the various areas are like and their strengths and weaknesses. As a result I know where to look and how to find the living situation that will support the lifestyle I want here.
So I give Chris and his associates 5 stars out of 5 for the tour experience. I highly recommend this process if you are considering a move to this beautiful and magical country. You need a lot of information to make your decision a rational one. This tour will make it possible to know you aren’t just being seduced by the emotional allure of Costa Rica, which is strong. Take this tour. You won’t regret it.
