A+++++. highly recommended. high class from the start. great work!!"

"Fran and Nelson were fantastic! We had a great time! Lunch was delicious. Driving was safe. Fran was knowledgeable and so sweet"

"The farmers market was amazing! Tasting all the different fruits was great! I truly enjoyed myself! I would recommend this tour to everyone!"

"We had booked this as a group tour but in the end the two of us had a private good. The guide arrived on time to collect us and was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English. On the boat tour our guide / boat driver spotted some animals we would definitely not have seen on our own. We got a bit unlucky with the weather so unfortunately we didnt see any monkeys as it was constantly raining but that just happens when you travel in the summer months. The lunch provided was excellent and a good vegetarian option was served as well. Would definitely recommend this trip."

"The tour guide was very informative of every species of animals and plants. Was on time and talked about places he recommended in the area."

"I am so glad we booked this two night/three day tour. My husband and I were the oldest in our group (82 and 75) and we enjoyed ourselves SO much. It wasn't too taxing, even though we are very active, and our tour guide, Francisco, was FANTASTIC. We were the only non-speaking Spanish couple in our group but Francisco made sure we knew exactly what was going on. The hotel, Pachira Lodge, was very nice. You are in the rain forest so it is a little primitive but very comfortable. The food is good although a little repetitive and the staff was very accommodating. The internet in our room was basically non-existent but around the property you could log on. There are no hairdryers or shampoo (just so you know) and there are no windows in the rooms, just screens so not having a/c was perfectly fine because it cools off at night. The howler monkeys roar like lions at 4:30 every morning which was quite an experience. We were only in Costa Rica for six nights and this tour was perfect. The tours that Francisco took us on were very informative and fun. We saw so much in such a short period of time. The bus that took us to and from Tortuguero didn't have great internet service but the ride was informative and well described."

"Superb trip. Pachira Lodge was rustic, but had everything we needed. Fernando (the tour leader) was superb!! He made the trip. Very knowledgeable and very personable. He is a font of knowledge. The bilingual tour was a bit distracting, but was very interesting nevertheless. Can't recommend this tour enough."

"Awesome tour and knowledgeable tour guide. Walk thru small village and saw the beach where the turtles migrate. Last 10 miles of the tour was bumpy on the dirt road and other than that it was great."

"All members of the staff and rafting team were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast and lunch were great and as I am a Vegan the yogurt and chicken were the only things I couldn’t eat. There were plenty of options to satisfy my appetite! Our rafting guide, Andres was excellent! He had knowledge of the history, people, flora and fauna of the area. He guided us with humor yet professionalism and I had one of the awesomeness experiences ever!"

"This was one of the highlights of our Costa Rica trip. Perfect mix of adventure, adrenaline, and relaxation all at the same time! Robertillo was our guide ... and he was a riot! He helped make the experience great. Managed to see a coati and various birds and butterflies while rafting, and both breakfast and lunch provided were tasty! I recommend this as a must if you're staying in and around San Jose. Three hours was the perfect amount of time to raft, too."
