Erik was an excellent tour guide. It was a fun-filled and jam packed experience. Even when the weather was quite foggy, We were able to see the Poas Volcano and enjoyed every bit of the hike. The coffee tour was great too. We learnt a lot about different types of coffees and what was the coffee picking process. The breakfast and lunch was fantastic so was the tour of the La Paz gardens and the waterfall.

Tammy_M, June 2022

Our tour guide Carlile (not sure about spelling) was awesome! He went above and beyond to make our tour the best. He helped in making sure our picky eater had something to eat. He brought us to Hacienda Alsacia (Starbucks) to see the beautiful views. Took pictures of our group for us so everyone could be in photograph. He was great at explaining our tours. Worked with us on when to eat lunch. Made stops for the smokers. He was as entertaining on the ride as he was for the tour.AWESOME!!!

Excelente y completo tour

Rosa_A, Feb 2023

Excelente tour. Muy bien guiado por Pedro. Sorprendente el lugar de almuerzo y la Cascada de la paz. Por suerte pudimos ver la laguna del volcán antes de que lo cubra la nube. El tour duró 11 hs.

Guía que se nota que...

LeonD_S, Nov 2021

Guía que se nota que tiene experiencia. El hace la explicación en la finca del café, la que está llena de detalles que no conocía pese a que iba de un país productor de café. Cataratas La Paz tiene excelentes facilidades y no encontré la caminata retante. El almuerzo ahi muy rico. En Poas el guia también aportó conocimiento y contestaba preguntas. La expetiencia me encantó.
