This was really great little trip made all the better by a really great and personable host. He was very considerate and accommodating and seemed to pride himself on ensuring everyone had a great time. Make sure to bring your cameras as you will see a ton of great views!

I had an excellent experience. Small group as promised. Gustavo is very knowledgeable and accommodating. I had a fun day and the lunch stop was spot on, the food was excellent and the restaurant had a fantastic vibe.

Great experience. Great tour guide Gustavo. Great views. We literally stopped everywhere to experience everything. He was well knowledgable of everything. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Been waiting to see a active volcano for a long time and finally got the chance with a tour guide who knew everything there was to know. Definitely will be back.

Gustavo was an excellent guide; he was very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the sites. Unfortunately, the volcano was clouded over. Lunch was delicious, bountiful, and fairly priced. The only issue was that this 4-6 hour tour took more than 9 hours.

It was a fantastic day on the way to the volcano. We stopped at a little café for coffee. My tour guide was so good that he explained everything and answered all of my questions on the way the volcano. It was a great day.

Gustavo and I had quite the adventure together! It was just the two of us so it was a super flexible day. The Volcano was cloudy and had unusual rain that day but honestly it was incredible just knowing I was on top of an active volcano and Gustavo got an epic video of me in the wind and clouds. We also stopped for great food and delicious coffee overall making it a really fun day 🥰

I had an amazing time on the tour to Poás Volcano and the Starbucks Coffee Farm. Our guide was exceptional, offering multi-language service to cater to all guests. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience truly memorable. Highly recommend this tour!

I Could not recommend this tour or tour provider any more. Had a great time you 10/10 should give it a try!

We had a lovely day with Gustavo. It was just two of us so he made the itinerary flexible for our needs, which included taking a tour at the Starbucks farm. Gustavo is warm and friendly and we enjoyed our conversations with him. The hike to the craters was easy but sadly we were there on a day that very overcast so we couldn't see anything but clouds. It was still fun to get out and see the clouds forest.
