09:09 Your gratuity is included, it's the law. Sometimes they hide it as a "tax" but it's there. If you want to tip more than 10% that's fine but 10% is already added if you're in a restaurant that gives you a receipt..

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks so much for watching and sharing your insight!

[@ingrid6295]

That's right, there is no tipping culture in Costa Rica because it came with the recipe already.

[@sue310689]

Tica here, if anyone see this I advise to go to banks for exchanging money because is a better deal that way, look in the menus if it says " i.v. no incluidos" it means 13% would be added at the end (it should be included already but sometimes they don't); if it says "Soda" in the restaurant name is like traditional/homemade style of food and normally more food on the plate (usually lower prices too). In here the app Waze is used to travel, a lot of people use it for normal commute too so if there an accident or traffic is horrible it would show up there.

We are about to go on this tour! So excited :D May I ask what size your suitcase was? I'm worried mine might be too big to fit on all the buses/transport! Thanks x

[@travelforphoebe]

Amazing! You're going to have the best time - I'm not sure of the dimensions but it's just a 'medium' size suitcase. I would definitely recommend packing lighter if you can because lugging a suitcase on/off buses, gravel roads, up and down stairs etc isn't fun haha

[@Emily-hr7jx]

@@travelforphoebe Thanks so much for replying! I think it classes as medium so hopefully ok 😅 🤞 Yay thanks so much super excited, we fly tomorrow! 😊

[@travelforphoebe]

Awesome!! Be sure to watch your bags (especially backpacks, handbags etc) very closely as you move around on public transport. Our group was targeted by pickpockets and while we were fine because we're super vigilant, a few of the others who weren't had some stuff taken.

I also wore my close-toed Keen sandals 90% of the time. Pura vida! P.S. Make sure you bring home some Linzano salsa!

Must be expensive using Uber around.... How about renting a car for two weeks? Or a 4 x 4?

The tip for Uber can only apply to the major cities, so if you were saying in San José. For adventuring further you absolutely need transport. As mentioned, we did a tour with Intrepid 😊🙌🏻 that allowed us to visit a wide range of places! We didn’t hire a car so I can’t advise on this 😍🙏🏼
