We had a blast! Zip lining was so fun and we have pictures that are so great of each of us. I am so glad I did it! 
This was my first trip with Beatrice Bradley but it won’t be my last!! What an adventure in Costa Rica. The accommodations, food, and excursions were first rate. The best part was meeting other women who were such a joy to be with. I’m already planning my next adventure. Linda

Costa Rica 2023

I questioned everything on my first trip last year, this was my third, I’ve already signed up for my fourth and soon to be fifth. This was so out of my comfort zone to travel alone and so glad I did. The planning and care your given is almost better than family. I was amazed that each trip was unique and well planned. I’d go anywhere with this group, the details are impeccable, as are the guides! GO!

Costa Rica 2023

Beatrice Bradley is the perfect group to travel with because they think of everything- from first class accommodations, meals included, sight seeing tours included, airport transportation and best of all meeting other like minded women who want to see America and beyond. My Favorite part was The boat snorkeling trip when we were able to see many dolphins.

Role of a Beatrice bradley host Couple

Beatrice Bradley is an Experience Company not a Tour Company.  The role of a Beatrice Bradley Host couple is to be warm and welcoming. To relate and connect. To have attention to details. And to manage the behind-the-scenes magic so your experience is one-of-a-kindd. They are not local experts nor are they tour guides. We hire local experts, guides, and historians as each location warrants. They are expert hosts and manage the camaraderie and logistics of the experience. Our goal is that your host couple will make you feel welcomed, comfortable, and that you will walk away with new & lasting friendships made during an unforgettable experience.
