What are people saying about Costa Rica

Anthony_H, Apr 2026

TJ+Chez 30th Birthday 2026

Rasta and Santiago were the real deal! These guys made this experience perfect from beginning to end. They were knowledgeable, kind, and very funny. Their attention to detail in the forest allowed us to see many species of animals, and insects. From the view of the volcano, to the hot springs and everything in between… this tour is 10/10! The lunch provided was delicious, and one of the best meals we had during our 7 day stay! Don’t hesitate to book, just DO IT. DISCLAIMER: This tour involves a full day of hiking up and down stairs. If you have hip or knee issues, be aware that this tour can be strenuous on those parts. The heat is also a factor to keep in mind. Bring trail/running shoes that you don’t mind getting wet! I wore water shoes, and although they helped with traction, they were very uncomfortable for the type of hiking on this tour. Lastly, we brought our own car and that allowed us an opportunity to stay later at the hot springs instead of leaving with the group. Be aware, the drive to the volcano is winding roads so make sure to rent a reliable SUV! All in all, this tour had all of the things we wanted to experience while in Costa Rica, and we HIGHLY recommend touring with “Red Lava TSC”.

Accademia Gallery David Skip The Line Entrance Tickets

Michael_L, Apr 2026

Visit to Accademia Gallery

Booked through Viator. Cheaper through the gallery website but no tickets available for our date (Resellers like Viator obviously buy up lots of tickets and make a margin) Booking process straightforward but that only gives you a voucher. This voucher needs to be exchanged for actual tickets with a representative of the reseller at a location close to the entrance of the gallery. This process actually worked smoothly. The rep was at the location when we arrived 10 mins before our entry time. Tickets were provided which included the "skip the line option" The rep told us to see the security guards who on presentation of the tickets directed us to a different entrance to the main line up of visitors. It all sounded a bit risky when I made the booking but everything worked well so I would recommend this approach if you cannot get the cheaper tickets on the gallery website

Florence Accademia Gallery Tour & Skip-the-Line Tickets Included

Miriam_C, Apr 2026

This tour was absolutely...

This tour was absolutely spectacular from start to finish. Every moment felt intentional, engaging, and incredibly well-crafted. Our guide, Roche (yes, like Ferrero!), was simply outstanding, his knowledge, storytelling, and attention to detail were on another level. He didn’t just explain history; he brought it to life in a way that made you feel like you were truly part of the era. What really made the difference was doing the tour in Spanish. It allowed for a depth of understanding and nuance that would be impossible to fully grasp in another language. The richness of the explanations, the cultural context, and the subtle details made the entire experience even more powerful and memorable. Roche kept us engaged the entire time, it honestly felt like watching a great movie unfold in real life. This wasn’t just a tour; it was an immersive experience. 1000 points—highly, highly recommended!

Don't miss David

Our visit to see "David" was our first tour in Florence. Our guide was excellent! He was passionate about the history and artistry, sharing his love of David and other works at the Galleria dell'Accademia. Highly recommend! Only wish I had written down our guide's name for the 12:55!

Best views in Costa Rica!!

This tour, hands down, is amazing. The staff is so friendly, jokes around with you and makes this experience so enjoyable. Nothing like flying over the most extraordinary views you will ever see. Would do it a million times over! PS Ladies wear bike shorts or pants. I wore hiking shorts and it was NOT comfortable.

Thank you again Pablo, PURA VIDA!

Best of Florence: Small Group Tour Skip-the-Line David & Accademia with Duomo

Mona_H, Apr 2026

Il Duomo and David - a great experience

Ismael was an excellent guide and left us with a huge appreciation of the details of the art and architecture seen on the tour. The experience as a whole was awesome! We were very impressed with how much he knew and how he structured the information - building a little more as we changed perspective and saw more of the structures - making a very intriguing ”story”. The size of the group was good.

Our tour guide was exceptional!!

This tour is worth the money! It is one thing to walk into a museum and look and another to have the experience with someone knowledgable ad what you are looking at and it ask questions. Our tour guide, Margaret, was awesome. She was a wealth of knowledge and navigated our group through the crowds like a champ. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We highly recommend it.

Arenal Volcano Canyoning; Top Rated Waterfall Rappel Adventure

Shanthi_K, Apr 2026

Terrific canyoning experience! (Fix metal bolts sticking out of rock.)

It was great. I loved the combination of zipline, rappelling, and bouldering that we got to do. The guides were very professional and we felt safe and cared for. I had two pieces of feedback for the company. 1. There was one small rappelling drop where we needed to rappel down a boulder that had two very large metal bolts sticking straight out of the rock. As I watched everyone rappel down it each person had to try very carefully not to scrape their legs on the metal bolts/screws right there. It seems like an accident waiting to happen so I put this feedback here so that something can be done to improve the safety of that particular rappelling drop. 2, I think they could offer the activity without the large lunch right before. The food was delicious but we were served a large buffet and then immediately loaded into a tractor for a 20 minute bumpy ride to the canyoning location so it might have been better to eat a little less beforehand.
