Good stops, poor leadership

Helen_L, Mar 2023

The hot springs visit was great. The zip line tour was thrilling. The rest of the trip was meh. The weather was cloudy so we could not see the volcano. The weather is not the tour guide's responsibility, but the tour guide did not communicate well. He knew English, but did not tell the group when things were happening, when to be at the bus (which turned out to be a different time than what was on the viatour website), did not provide any background on the waterfall or coffee plantation we stopped at. He did not really engage with us much at all.

A great tour!

Ying_X, Dec 2022

We had a good time on this tour. Our tour guide Harlem has great knowledge on Costa Rica and made sure we were taken care of. We saw sloths. Hummingbirds and toucans, and leaned coffee plants. The highlight of the tour is the canopy zip lining, an unforgettable experience!

Best Experience! Highly Recommend!

Omar_S, Oct 2022

We enjoyed the food, the good laughs, the detailed information on each place we stopped at, and most importantly, the ziplining and hot springs! Thank you to the amazing tour guide and every staff member along the way that took great care of us.

Ciera_J, June 2022

Made it there and back safely. Food was amazing, nicely seasoned. Juices were awesome of course (everything's natural). Staff at each spot were super Friendly. Our guide made sure we saw sloths on our way to destinations. Guide was informative. We were picked up good timing. Activities were A LOT of fun. Left out around 550 a and returned around 9p. Adventure packed day ,well worth it!!

Bsst trip ever!

Best tour

AnnaKathryn_G, May 2022

This tour was the best tour I’ve ever been on. So much fun! Our tour guide Fernando was excellent. He kept it fun. And at the ziplining, all the staff made it very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour!

Pure Vida!

Lauren_C, May 2022

Fernando was a great tour guide. You can tell he loves his job and his country. We had a great group and got to learn a lot and get a good flavor of Costa Rica and had fun zip lining. People everywhere we’re great. Food was good too. Thanks Fernando for a great experience we will cherish forever! Pure Vida!

Beautiful

Rebecca_M, Apr 2022

Our guide Fernando was really nice and super informative! It is a long ride and a long day, packed with many beautiful sightings! The hot springs were the icing on top! Would totally recommend this tour!

Tour guide Oscor was...

Kevin_A, Dec 2021

Tour guide Oscor was great. Zipline and hot springs were great. Waterfalls were disappointing. Coffee plantation was ok

Amazing experience.

Carolyn_A, Nov 2021

This tour had everything you could want. We went north into the mountains and the north is so Different from the big tourist destinations. What a beautiful Country experience. We loved the zip lining and the Hot springs. Zip lining was awesome. We felt very safe and it was thrilling. 10 different runs. The hot springs was a wonderful way to end of our adventure. So relaxing. We also saw a coffee plantation and tasted Costa Rica coffee. I must say this is probably the best coffee I have ever had. We loved this adventure and would recommend it to everyone.

Too many hours driving!

Leah_H, Sept 2021

This was a great experience and although I knew it was aprox 14/15 hour trip, I didn’t realize that the majority is spent inside a vehicle or I would not have made this choice! Yes, you make several stops along the way but they are all quick stops. When you arrive at the zip lining/hot springs you have aprox 3 1/2 hours before you are back in the vehicle again! So please beware, you will be spending most of the 14/15 hours in a vehicle! I would estimate that 5 1/2 hours outdoors and 9 - 10 hours in a van! Some people are hot and some are cold so not everyone is a happy camper on how the ac is being adjusted! Kenneth was our guide and a great one at that! Very professional, kind and informative! My opinion is that what we did and seen was not worth the time spent driving!

Amazing Experience!

Chelsea_B, Sept 2021

Such an amazing excursion! Fernando Moss was our guide and you can tell her loves his job & his country. He went above & beyond, we learned a lot about Costa Rica and all of our experiences. He also made stops not listed on the excursion to show us waterfalls, enjoy some local snacks, and more. Highly recommend this tour and Fernando!

Juan is an Awesome Tour Guide

Craig_W, Sept 2021

Juan was an awesome tour guide. He showed us the culture of Costa Rica and made us feel at home. We felt like locals after the tour!!!!

Best day ever!!!

Michael_H, Sept 2021

The entire day was nothing less than amazing, but I must applaud our driver Kenneth. Without his level of knowledge, compassion, and outstanding professionalism laced in genuineness the day would have been good but not great.

Best Trip Yet

Jody_A, Aug 2021

All of it, Kenneth was a really good tour guide! I enjoyed the zip lining and the hot springs, also trying all of the different food.

11/10 to our tour guide Jordan

Desiree, Aug 2021

Jordan was an amazing guide! He went out of his way to make sure we had a great time and was very knowledgeable about everything and anything Costa Rica. We loved the zipping lining, the coffee plantation tour, hot springs, and various other stops.And we got to see tropical raccoons! At the end of the trip, Jordan made sure we all arrived at the hotel safely.

Above and beyond

Iorbelit_G, July 2021

Fernando Moss was an excellent tour guide. He was professional and very knowledgeable. I really enjoyed the fun facts he shared along the way. I really enjoyed this experience and it exceeded my expectations!

A Costa Rica vacation must

Glynnis_P, June 2021

I love everything about this tour! I was fortunate to have Juan as my guide, make sure you request him! He made an extra stop so we could see wildlife closely and was extremely knowledgeable about the country. The zip line tour was great fun and not too extreme if you’re nervous. The springs were an excellent way to relax at the end before enjoying another excellent and authentic Costa Rican meal.
