Day well spent
Filander was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and informative. He was very patient and eager to answer our questions. He told us about many hidden gems of costa rica and places to eat and see.
It shows how passionate he is and how much he enjoys sharing his wisdom.
I was picked up on time from my hotel around 6:15 am. We drove to the coffee plantation where he walked us through the farm. We had an excellent breakfast and then drove to poas volcano. It was foggy with no visibility when we reached. He told us to visit the lagoon since he knew it was clear and knew the crater would clear out by the time we returned. He was right on spot and we saw the gorgeous views with full visibility. We then drove to waterfall garden where we saw different wildlife. We finished off with the 5 stunning waterfalls before we started our drive back to our hotels. Filander explained us about different plants, flowers insects, animals. Overall he had an amazing knowledge about everything. He even provided great options of other tours that I could take and how to book them. Overall It was a great day. Absolutely worth doing for someone visiting Costa Rica.

A Beach Worth the Journey!
The journey to and from Tortuga Island is a bit long but the view and the water is 100% worth it. The tour gives you 5 hours to swim with an opportunity to go snorkeling, eat delicious fresh fruit and lunch. Traffic in the evening in Costa Rica can be heavy so prepare for a longer journey back to your accommodations than in the morning.

Great tour with excellent variety
This was a great tour with a fun mix of activities that really gave us the flavor of Costa Rica. It was nice to see the variety of waterfall, wildlife, and coffee and chocolate farm. Before booking we were worried about the length of the drive, but our guide Geno had so much interesting information to share that the time flew by. He also built in breaks with snacks and clean bathroom stops that made the day easy. Geno is excellent at spotting wildlife, so we made a few unplanned roadside stops that allowed us to get close to howler monkeys and see two toucans in the wild. This tour was definitely the highlight of our Costa Rica vacation!

Delicious food, amazing tour
Angel was AMAZING! Very entertaining, the food was delicioussssss, very interactive. The drinks were amazing. You get to walk and see where the locals hang and explore culture then you go to a nice place and begin the cooking and cocktail class! I can’t believe the food was that good honestly. The whole thing was a 10/10. One of the most enjoyable things I did in Costa Rica

Eric was a wonderful...
Eric was a wonderful guide and incredibly informative! My friend and I really felt immersed in the culture in San José and felt even more comfortable navigating through the markets and parts of the city after this tour. The food was absolutely delicious and worth every penny. I highly recommend doing this tour with Eric!

Must do 10/10!!!
I had an amazing experience on this full-day tour in Costa Rica! Our guide was incredibly sweet, friendly, and made the entire day feel so enjoyable and relaxed. We made plenty of stops along the way to take pictures and spot wildlife, which made the experience feel really special and not rushed at all.
One thing I really appreciated was how the guide took the time to take photos of us.They were also very communicative, explaining what we were seeing and making sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the tour.
Overall, it was such a memorable experience, and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica!

Great tour!
An absolutely incredible tour, one of the highlights of our trip! Corcovado is stunning, and we were lucky to see so much wildlife: squirrel and spider monkeys, two anteaters, crocodiles, and a wide variety of beautiful birds.
A big shoutout to our guide, Elbert, who truly made the experience even better. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, sharing fascinating insights throughout the tour and helping us spot animals we would have definitely missed on our own.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area, an unforgettable experience!

Great experience and view of the volcano.
This was a dual language tour (Spanish and English) and that can often get awkward, but it was done very well. Other than a bit of an earlier start than I like while on vacation, I had a wonderful time. We got to see the volcano crater without issue and just as we were getting ready to leave, the clouds moved in. It was a wonderful day!
