          Volcanos and waterfalls, with great food and coffee on the way!
          Great tour with a friendly, knowledgeable guide. The volcano was amazing - I've never seen anything like it! We had plenty of stops for refreshments and I thought we had plenty to do. The waterfall was beautiful and our guide was happy to take photos. Finally, the coffee tour was super informative and we enjoyed a delicious lunch on site. I'd definitely recommend this tour!

          Highly recommend Adventure Inn San Jose Costa Rica
          I want to summarize my review from July 30th. I highly recommend Adventure Inn near San Jose airport in Costa Rica for the following reasons: >Spacious air-conditioned rooms with 2 or 3 queen sized beds at very reasonable prices >free shuttle from/to airport >free made to order full breakfast for all occupants >packed to go breakfast in case of early checkouts >on-site restaurant open for lunch/dinner with wide variety of menu at reasonable prices >rental car arranged by front desk; delivered to hotel and picked up from hotel >knowledgeable/friendly front-desk staff offering guidance on local travel and dining recommendations >help with currency conversion >prompt responses to emails by the owner himself >pool and jacuzzi Thank you Adventure Inn and Eric and other staff. PURA VIDA

          Perfect day! Definitely book this tour.
          What a perfect day from start to finish! The tour had excellent communication the night before so that we knew the driver’s name and license plate number. Carlos, our amazing driver and guide for the day, was prompt and welcoming. He ensured everyone had a safe and enjoyable time at the Starbucks coffee farm, Poas Volcano and the coffee farm tour. He provided helpful tips along the way like ordering your Starbucks drink before getting pictures because of the time they take, and where to stand at the volcano for optimal viewing without cloud cover. We loved the surprise wine and cheese sample stop that he made time for and how Carlos jumped in to help with demonstrations at so many of the stops. He is extremely knowledgeable and a wonderful guide! Thanks for creating amazing family memories for all of us. All four of us (2 parents and 2 grown children) loved it.

          Exploring the Caves and Snorkeling
          This was a great tour. Freddy went out of his way to make sure we had a wonderful time. We explored the caves, beaches, and had a wonderful snorkeling adventure. The pineapple was incredible. I would do this tour again! Thank you!!

          A must try tour
          A great tour overall, the view of the crater was breath taking. Our guide Carlos, was engaging and made the tour an enjoyable one. Another highlight of the tour was the coffee farm where we learned about the manufacturing process. This was very interesting and we even got to taste fresh coffee. 10/10

          Volcano, waterfall, tour
          Wow!! Really wonderful experience. Never felt rushed, very considerate of our needs, and Carlos paid attention to detail. Wonderful job making us feel safe and taking care of our needs. Doing this trip with a tour guide was definitely worth it!! So many more opportunity to learn, and expletive the country better

          Very disappointing tour
          The trip doesn’t cost this money. The tour to LaPaz didn’t include national park visit, no exploration or animals/birds watching, only waterfall view from the road side which doesn’t cost any fee. We were taken to volcano around 14:00, when it’s known to be cloudy. Other operators try to take people to there early in the morning while visibility is better but not this: He only shown us photos of volcano from his phone and shared with us… do we need tour for this? the tour itself was just accompanied by driver without guide information provided. Coffee tour to the local cooperative was the only interesting part. Van was also not comfortable for such tour. In general we were very disappointed. I would recommend to find another operators for similar budget who provide at least park visit and organize volcano visit properly, with professional guide accompanying you during the trip.

          Snorkel
          We had a really fun time on this snorkel adventure. We saw turtles, lots of fish and maybe a sting ray (?). While it was fun we didn't snorkel in any caves or go near any caves. Like I said, it was fun but not what we were expecting.

          Vulcano, waterfall and coffee cooperative
          The trip was amazing - very well organized. Charly the driver - was excellent - avoided every traffic jam - and was very good in explaining - both in English and in Spanish. Event though - it was raining period in Costa Rica- it did not matter - because the outdoors (Vulcano and waterfalls) had been put early in the morning, when it was still dry. Afternoon we visited a Coffee farm with food, Coffee and a guided tour through coffee processing- excellent and very interesting. All in all - 5 stars and - highly recommend. Cheers Michel

          Do not use, didn't turn up
          The company sent an e-mail the night before, for pick up at 7.50, unfortunately they didn't turn up, we tried the contact number and got a answer machine, the receptionist at Arenal Xilopalo tried another number for us and still no answer, at 1pm I got an e-mail to say that they had gone to the hotel in Monteverde, as there was some confusion??? ( no idea why ticket has clear instructions). When we finally got to Monteverde the hotel said no one had turned up there, and she had been there all day, thankfully we had the amazing receptionist at Arenal Xilopalo who arranged transport, but had to wait 5 hours.

          A great way to explore!
          A great way to see many of the beautiful sights all in one day. Each stop on the tour was beautiful and you have enough time at each to take in an appreciate the beauty you’ll see. We also got to each location early enough that there were no crowds. At the coffee tour there is a hike to another waterfall that was beautiful but a challenge if you’re not prepared for it! It’s a long day but very worth it!

          I know there isn’t a bunch of reviews on this tour yet but seriously BOOK IT . Worth every penny
          We had an absolute blast , we had Carlos as a guide and he was wonderful. You get so much out of this tour for the price . My favorite personally was the waterfalls. Costa Rica is absolutely stunningly gorgeous country and it takes a local to show you the real sights of it Carlos made us feel safe and was easily someone I could trust . He also would point out interesting facts and show us unique things that he has saw through conducting these tours (for example a hummingbird nest ) This is not a negative by any means but if you are prone to motion sickness I highly recommend you take something prior to going on this adventure . The driving of the guides is great , but the mountain roads twist and turn a lot there’s no straight up or down be prepared .

        This was a very long day as driving from San Jose to Monteverde took 3 to 3.5 hours one way. However it was our last day in Costa Rica and we wanted to see this special place. Our driver Freddie picked us up and drove us there and back safely and efficiently. Freddie was accompanied by his wife and two other people, one of whom was a family friend visiting her grandmother in Monteverde. They were nice and Freddie’s wife even took pictures of us doing a tour of the forest and hanging bridges. Lunch and a quick visit to the reptile museum were included in addition to either zip lining or hanging bridge tour with a naturalist. The roads going there were generally good except for the last few kilometers to Monteverde where it was not yet paved and thus very bumpy. In retrospect, my husband and I would have preferred to sit in the first row of the van because the back row was tight and a bit uncomfortable however this row was already taken by the Freddie’s colleague and family friend. Next time I would recommend that staff or non-paying passengers take the back seats so customers could sit in the best seats. I would suggest to other Costa Rica visitors to stay overnight in Monteverde as there is a lot to see there but if this is not possible, then using Costa Rica Itinerary for the full-day trip would work out very well.
