Discover Corps - San Diego, California

Our family trip to Costa Rica was an absolutely amazing experience. Discover Corp was incredibly easy to work with early on from booking the trip, organizing the flights, answering questions along the way, up to a debrief upon arrival home. In addition, Discover Corp provided a trip and an itinerary that far exceeded our expectations.

We are a family of four with two teenagers. We were paired with other families who also had teenagers. The families that we met and the friendships that were cultivated in Costa Rica were beautiful. We had so much fun all together but also had time to be together as our family of four.

Our exceptional guide, Andres, and competent driver, Christopher, toured us through this beautiful country. Andres was professional, knowledgable, friendly and extremely caring to our group. He taught us so much about Costa Rica and its beautiful landscape and culture as we toured the country with him. He was able to easily pivot a plan and navigate anything unexpected that came up. We felt that both Andres and Christopher were well supported by Discover Corp with their accommodations and meals.

Our accommodations and meals well surpassed our expectations. We loved the three gorgeous boutique hotels. The food in Costa Rica with DELISH!! To add, the itinerary was well designed and allowed for us to have an incredibly fulfilling experience in Costa Rica.

We are so grateful to have been able to travel to Costa Rica with our family and we recommend Discover Corp without any hesitation.

We just returned from our "long weekend getaway" to Havana. Oh my! It was our first trip with Discover Corps. We were looking for an experience, and we got it! Cuba may only be 93 miles from Key West, but it is a different world. We learned so much about this country that we share so much history—yet also presents such contrasts. Of course Havana was an amazing city to see, but with every trip, it's the people that give us the strongest memories. Our guide was absolutely spectacular. The accommodations were comfortable and our host fixed us an excellent breakfast every morning. Seeing the classic cars all over the city was a highlight, as was our watching and then dancing with an amazing Afro-Cuban dance group. The people were so welcoming and we felt safe every moment. We came away with a deep connection and empathy for the people of Cuba. And provided us with daily examples of resilience and how to make the most of limited resources. They so want you to come and visit! We are certainly glad we did.

Our trip to Costa Rica was absolutely amazing! Discover Corps did a fantastic job of putting together an itinerary that touched on everything we could have possibly hoped for, including cultural experiences, volunteer opportunities, beautiful scenery, and great family time. Also, the food and lodging well exceeded our expectations, and we were paired up with a great group (traveled with our teenage daughtes and other families with similarly aged children). And our guide Andrés was quite simply the best. He was professional, knowledgeable, funny and did a great job of keeping our group on task. And I know he had a handful of unexpected things thrown at him with our group and navigated all of that as best as anyone possibly could. At one point our daughter felt ill and the care and compassion he showed (along with a lime juice home remedy) saved the day and the trip. I would highly recommend the Discover Corps Costa Rica trip. Beautiful country, great value and an unforgettable life experience!

We traveled to Kenya with Discover Corps, and it was an amazing experience. The Discover Corps team is truly amazing, knowledgeable, helpful, organized, and responsive. Before we even left on our trip, I was impressed with Discover Corps as they provide ALL the needed information and "to-do" lists (Visas, Vaccinations, packing list -etc.). Once we arrived in Kenya to the time when we left, Discover Corps guides and itinerary continued to impress us even more than we thought possible.
If you are looking to take a meaningful vacation with like-minded people, you will NOT be disappointed with Discover Corps.

Everything was wonderful! Working with the team before the trip, Angela was very helpful and a very accommodating especially with having to reschedule our trip a few times due to COVID. She was also every helpful with us changing our return plans at the last minute. The trip itself was amazing!! Costa Rica has recently re-opened and the tour guide, Priscilla, and our driver Erick were excellent. They were friendly and worked together to make sure everything was taken care of for us to have the best experience possible. We were treated like royalty. No thinking on our part was needed except for when it came to deciding on what to eat. 🙂 The hotels were clean and friendly. Everyone was very nice and treated their guests like family. Priscilla and Erick were professional yet friendly. They were very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and the wildlife. Our Costa Rica tour was a wildlife safari. We explored the Caribbean side and saw amazing wildlife everywhere. I will definitely travel again with Discover Corps. Thank you so much for the once in a lifetime experience.

My family went on the Cuban Island Adventure trip and absolutely loved it. Kids ages are 14, 12, 8, 7. They did phenomenal and the trip was planned perfectly. The tour guide and our driver were amazing, we met wonderful people and felt like we got a real taste of life in Cuba.

Our Discover Corps trip to South Africa was amazing. The itinerary provided was like nothing else that we could have gotten from a regular travel agency. All of the activities were very personal and focused on our family. We really feel like we got to know the places and the people. All of the staff at each place was beyond excellent. We feel like we have made some friends for life. We did the 10 day safari, the Victoria Falls extension, and the Cape Town extension. We are a family who travels worldwide frequently and we were all so so pleased with this trip. Our ages are 50, 50, 18, and 11. Hope this review convinces someone else to give this trip a chance!
