Great Day with a great guide.

John_C, Sept 2022

Philander, our guide for the day, was the absolute best. We were with him for a long day, and he made everything interesting and fun. He is informative, loves his country and it’s beauty, patient, and always pleasant. This ended up being a private tour for the two of us. The long drive back was slow because of rain and traffic, but Philander stayed upbeat and patient even through that.

Excellent Tour

I highly recommend this tour.We were lucky enough to be alone on that day so it was only us and the tour guide Mauricio who was excellent, very knowledgeable and kind.The river safari is nice and pleasant and we did spot a lot of animals in their habitat.During the afternoon the La Paz Waterfall gardens is absolutely gorgeous and a must when in Costa Rica to discover it’s beautiful nature and wildlife.
