Kathleen_M, Mar 2025

The rainforest should be first stop, if you want to see monkeys. When we got there it was full. Our guide had not made advance reservations. Could not get in! Disappointing. Skip the Alfaro part.

Excellent guide

Gustavo was an excellent guide, knowledgable and offered flexibility during our tour. I would highly recommend Gustavo.

Dennis W, Jan 2018

Very interesting tour and well timed/paced. Our guide was personable. The walking tour was a little rigorous, and it should be noted for visitors with at least moderate endurance and balance.
