    Review of: ATV River, Beach, Jungle Adventure and Crocodiles Hotspot from San Jose
    Andre/William made the Experience Great
    This was my first time navigating an ATV and it was a great experience! Our guide, Andre/William, was very accommodating, down to earth, and attentive to our safety. The crocodile part of the trip was underwhelming because we had a view from a bridge. I did enjoy visiting the waterfall and beach and mountain. We didn't get to experience a jungle. Overall, great experience!

    Review of: 3 Days Costa Rica: Arenal Volcano- Monteverde -Manuel Antonio From San José
    Great for first time visitors to Costa Rica with a short stay!
    This tour is a quick and easy package to explore everything in a short amount of time in Costa Rica! You get the best of nature, relaxation and sightseeing! The tour guides are friendly and really make it the best experience even during the car rides between the locations. The hotels that are chosen for this tour are great for families as well with a lot of activities on site to keep you busy.

    One of the best tours I have been on and a great option for first time visitors whether solo, with friends or family to Costa Rica.

    Review of: Full-Day Bajos del Toro Hiking Experience
    Book the TOUR!!! Highly Recommenced
    This was the best tour ever. The tour guide was very encouraging and considerate.
    The tour was an amazing experience of 4 gorgeous waterfalls. The terrain was challenging at times but the tour guide would stop and slow down as I needed. This tour is for real adventurists and the challenge is more than worth it.

    I also was able to book a solo tour on the company website.

    Review of: 1 day trip getting off the beaten path to Monteverde Rain Forest
    Personalized low key trip after a red-eye
    Our guide was Manuel B.—very friendly and kind soul. We improvised a bit since my husband and I had come in on a red eye and were exhausted: we needed a low-key day and we’re planning to stay in Monteverde rather than returning back to San Jose. We went on backroads to avoid traffic and drove past smaller towns and hillsides as we asked him more about what it was like to live here, and learned more about Costa Rica culture. Our first stop was to Puntarenas to see the ocean and cool our feet in the water. He found us some coconuts and we had a refreshing drink before driving up to Monteverde. Here we had a wonderful leisurely meal at the Open Kitchen cafe and went to the beautiful and charming Butterfly refuge. Wanting to get back to the hotel for dinner, we made a last stop at the coffee shop at the Monteverde cloud forest preserve. We sat on the porch at the café and listened to and watched multiple hummingbirds feeding. So peaceful and thrilling for us. Bird sounds filled the air. Then back to our hotel. Lovely personalized day! Manuel is a genuine and generous person and we glad to have met him. Wonderful experience!

    Review of: Monteverde Cloud Forest and Hanging Bridges in Selvatura Tour from San Jose
    Great sites and tour guides, driving was quite long.
    My wife and I did the Monteverde and Arenal volcano and hot springs tour from San Jose which were graciously donated by A&E to a benefit auction we attended. Our tour guide and driver were great! They knew all the best spots to stop for photos. We had nice tour companions each day. These tours are 14 hours long with a lot of driving, but we didn't feel rushed. Without an itinerary the first day was very long especially after having to ride along to drop off another group in Jaco then drive back to San Jose. We knew a little better what to expect the second tour and enjoyed it more. I would recommend doing one of the 3 day packages. Coming back to San Jose each night was taxing.

    Review of: Full day Tour a Volcan Poas with coffee tour at Starbucks Farm from San Jose
    Perfect tour with a more perfect guide
    My cousin and I recently had a short stay in San Jose, We chose this tour and had a MARVELOUS experience with our guide Giovanni. He arrived on time to pick us up from our hotel. From the hotel we headed up to the Volcano- before reaching our destination we stopped at this beautiful coffee shop that had some of the BEST coffee I've ever drank! The cafe overlooked a magnificent coffee farm. Next we stopped at La Paz waterfall and then onto Volcan Paos- the scenes were SPECTACULAR. Giovanni was the PERFECT tour guide! He was extremely personable and I felt like everyone knew him and the tour was very personal and friendly...Giovanni even got the owner Mariella of a local restaurant to create a beautiful fruit boquet for my cousin celebrating her birthday- it was TRULY a perfect day with a perfect guide!! Some things to note...the tour was filled with activity- there was minimal walking and was good for those that are in good shape but you dont need to be super fit- the roads are narrow and EVERYONE in San Jose drives agressively.

    Review of: Private ATV Tour from San Jose Enjoy jungle, Beach, River Paths and Ocean Views
    It's really worth every penny!
    It was our highlight during our stay in San Jose, we did it the day before our flight and it made a difference. The tour guide was amazing and our driver picked us up at our Airbnb, we did a stop for lunch and watch the crocodiles in a river, was nice. It is really worth every penny.

    Review of: Between Volcanoes: Irazú, Turrialba and Guayabo Archaeological Site
    10/10!
    We had reserved the tour in advance and got the tour guide of Rigo. He was on time for the expedition. Rigo was a wonderful tour guide and not only informed us about the wonderful landscapes we experienced but told us facts and took us to several of the common areas in costa rica as we were trying to get the feel of the typical places local visited. Rigo was able to give us the experience we were looking for and also informed us of several of the naturalistic areas such as the animals sceneries and more! He also brought us strawberries to share and was so amazing overall I could not ask for a better day at Costa Rica ❤️ Definitely worth every penny and would do it again.

    Review of: One Day Adventure Tour from San Jose
    Best day ever!!!
    Such a wonderful excursion. The shuttle was on time. We stayed at Airbnb and was only short walk to closest hotel on list. The shuttle ride to get to the adventure park too maybe 1.5hr. We we’re early so we stopped at a small store where we were able to take a short walk to the bridge and you could see many large crocodiles below. The scenery was gorgeous. We then traveled to the adventure park. We purchased the combo zip lining + ATV. We were split in groups of 4 for ATVs and had our own guide. If you chose ATVs, make sure u purchase face bandanna or bring your own. The trail is really dusty. There are lockers available to rent for personal items. It was a $10 (deposit) that will be returned at the end of the day. The guide instructs a brief safety tutorial and take u around test track to ensure you are comfortable with the ATV. You are lead down the trail single file. The trails include a lot of sharp turns, rocky terrain, water puddles, and small hills. You are literally riding through the jungle at one point. There is someone that rides ahead with professional camera to her all these amazing photos are you guys having a blast. You then park for a brisk 10 min walk to the waterfall. Apparently it was dry season when we went, but you can still see the waterfall. There a pool at the end of the waterfall that you have the option of jumping into. Omg! Definitely an experience. The guide instructs you in exactly where to step and how you should jump. Short ride back to front where you have fresh fruit and water waiting for you. The guide also carries water with him as well. A buffet style lunch was served. Food was really good.
    Zip lining followed much. We were fitted with our equipment and placed in groups. We were driven to the first line in a tractor trailer. The guide provided clear and precise instructions mixed with a little humor to ensure everyone’s safety. There was a total of 10 lines. Instructions were given before each line. There a is rest stop 1/2 way where water is provided. Photo op on line 5 or 6 where you have to option to go upside down!!! The entire experience was absolutely amazing. It was my friend’s first time zip lining and riding and ATV and he really enjoyed himself. He could not stop thanking me for booking this excursion. Our pics between the two activities were purchased for $60 usd, totally worth it. They are emailed shortly after purchase. I would highly recommend this excursion. I would definitely go back. Thank you to the entire staff.

    Review of: Rio Celeste Hike and Sloth Watching Tour From San Jose
    Great day out
    Great day out to the Rio Celeste park and Sloth sanctuary. Guide was great looking after myself and daughter and was very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. Journey time is long from San Jose but this was made longer by road closures but out of anyone's control, However we enjoyed the journey, the Rio celeste and the bonus was the Sloth sanctuary which was wonderful with a fantastic local guide who took us on a walk around the reserve. Thank you to all

    Review of: Combo: Day Trip to Hanging Bridges + ZipLine in Monteverde
    Not what was expected.
    Monteverde is AMAZING, don't get me wrong. However, this tour company posts that this is a tour. This isn't a tour. This is a private transport. I had no guide on my "tour" though the website said I would have a professional guide. I had a taxi driver (who was very nice, by the way), but not a professional guide. Upon arrival, I did the zipline, canopy walk, and ate lunch. These things were arranged for me, yes, but there was no guide. No official tour by any means. If you want an actual tour, make sure you book with a company that will deliver just that or book through the park itself, is my guess. They also made me book a private tour at a higher prices because I was a solo traveler. I paid WAY too much for a solo trip. Should've driven a car up there myself. Hoping to get some of my money back from this "tour."

    Review of: One Day Tour -2 Activities( Zipline and Atv) From San Jose
    ATV AND ZIPLINE
    Driving terrible

    ATV AND ZIPLINES were great

    When we booked the tour we booked the tour for a English speaking tour Guide. The person that picked us up spoke ZERO English and was 40mins late picking us up. Additional After the activity was over we didn’t know where our diver was and had to wait 40min again. The driving was rough and made me sick. Never asked our names or who we were
