Bad tour operator!

Marty_K, Oct 2024

Picked up at cruise port by a person named Dexter in a taxi that had to be at least 20 years old. The car stunk, had trash/junk in it. Inside door handle missing! His breath was terrible, he honked to every female he saw and then laughed. Yelled out the window to supposedly friends and then laughed, barked at dogs and yes laughed again. An hour each way to the rainforest in this car was not comfortable. Said prayers that we would make it as engine lights were on. Odometer showed 313,550 miles on it. We enjoyed the rainforest! It was not a private tour that we signed up for, there was another couple. This was fine but the cost of this depended on the number of persons. No water as promised.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience, but I really appreciate you bringing this issue to my attention. We will take action about it. Unfortunately on this date we only have your booking and this guy help us some times in the area, but it never will happens again. The tour you booked was not a private tour as you said. private tour listed clearly private service and rates are totally different. You can double check your voucher and notice it. But again we are sorry for the bad experience with this supplier

Underwhelming

Don_D, Dec 2023

The rainforest park is very beautiful. But it is a very long drive from the cruise port to get here for a brief walk to the falls. It is misleading to suggest you WILL see various animals (monkeys, sloths specifically). We saw a couple of lizards.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hello This private biological reserve is very big and animals are free in their natural habitat. we are sorry if on this day you were unable to see them. Its nature

Rainforest day!

We had a very nice experience with Alberto our guide and Peto, our driver. Good communication and very informative. Bus was clean and comfortable, all stops provided restroom availability. Our guide was very polite and wanted us to get the most from our experience.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you very much for your positive review. WE appreciate it.

Great Costa Rican Excursion

HA_L, Jan 2023

What a great tour - saw the Veragua nRain forest - took a tram, hiked to a waterfall and then cruised on the Tortuguero canal. Our guide Alberto (Pete) and driver Omar (sp?) were wonderful A++++. The same excursion on our cruise ship was $80 more. Highly recommend this one - lots of biodiversity
