Highly Recommend! - This 3-day tour was amazing and we had a very memorable time. We got to see a lot in a short amount of time. Our tour guide Luis and driver Yohan were very friendly. Luis was a very knowledgeable tour guide and very patient with our many questions. The first day we did a light hike at Arenal National Park to see the volcano and then did the hot springs after. We (luckily) were able to see a sloth on the side of the road, pretty up close. Luis and Yohan were very flexible with us. The second day we hiked in Monteverde National Park and walked the hanging bridges. We got to see two quetzals (!!) and other animals. The third day we went to Manuel Antonio Park and saw birds, sloths and iguanas. We had time to relax and swim in the Pacific Ocean. The hotels were really nice and the food was great. It was a small group the entire time which made it feel very personalized.

Amazing 3 day tour of Costa Rica - This tour was amazing. We only had a limited time in Costa Rica and this allowed us to see as much of the country as possible. We went to Arenal National park to see the volcano, a sloth tour (not included) and a visit to the hot springs! The next day we drove to Monteverde national park where we walked the hanging bridges and also had the option to do the tree top zip line. This was not included in the price of the tour but was amazing and highly recommend! We then watched the sunset over the Pacific before travelling to the coast. The next morning we drove to Manuel Antonio park where we saw lots more animals, sloths, macaws, monkeys etc! And had time to relax and swim in the beautiful ocean. Both the hotels we stayed in were very nice, and in perfect locations. And all the food we had (breakfast and lunch on all 3 days) was great. Our tour guide, Luis, was so friendly and knowledgable, making the trip even better! It was a small group of 5, making it a more personalized experience with a relatively flexible schedule. Be prepared for some long drives, but if you want to see lots in a short amount of time it is necessary but so worth it!

Fantastic tour of Costa Rica with great tour guide and driver - We booked this tour, and this was a fantastic way to explore a few of the many picturesque places that this beautiful country has to offer. Our tour guide Luis and driver Caesar provided personal attention and provided excellent service through our trip through a few of this beautiful country’s picturesque sites including Arenal and Monteverde. Moreover, both worked to make sure that we got to each destination safely and provided insights on each location visited. The tour operator also had the advantage of providing us with breakfast and lunch for all three days of our journey. In addition, this also included one dinner. Each restaurant provided delicious food with traditional Costa Rican as well as continental options. Furthermore, the tour also provided lodging for two nights that was comfortable to relax and rejuvenate before the next day’s activities. In summary, I recommend booking Aye tours for your journey to Costa Rica. Lastly, please request Luis and Caesar as your tour guide and driver. They will truly provide a truly memorable journey for all people traveling.

Amazing Tour for a quick trip to Costa Rica - My coworker and I were visiting Costa Rica for business, and wanted to spend a few extra days exploring the country. Our local team members here all said that Arenal-Monteverde-Manuel Antonio would be an amazing quick tour, and they were spot on! This was a wonderful tour of a beautiful country. It was a lot of time in the van, but allowed us to see so much of Costa Rica in a short amount of time. Our guide Luis was very friendly and answered all of our questions. He handled all of the coordination (including booking tours, checking in and out of hotels, making sure we were eating at restaurants that we wanted), and recommended the types of activities we could/should do at each location, based on our personal interests. The hotels were nice, conveniently located, and clean. The national parks were beautiful, and the add-on activities were great fun (we opted for ATV'ing at Arenal and doing the Zipline at Monteverde - highly recommend!!). Our driver Umberto didn't speak much English but was very friendly and got us safely where we needed to be, navigating some bumpy roads and the crowded Costa Rican traffic. Both Luis and Umberto were always on time and our comfort was their top priority. They even went out of their way to pull over to the side of the road so we could watch the sunset over the ocean. If you only have a few days to spend exploring Costa Rica and want to get a taste of what the country has to offer, this tour is an excellent choice!

4 days in Costa Rica - Excellent trip. Landed in Sanjose. We were welcomed by our tour guide Louis. We drove to Mount Arenal. We visited Baldi Hot springs that evening, next day drive to Rio Celeste, hiked to the gorgeous waterfalls followed by sloth tour and lunch at local restaurant Dona Carmen and indulged on mangos, pineapple and agua coco. Day 3 we drove to Monteverde cloud forest, hike in the rain forest, walked the long hanging bridges, followed by Zip lining through the clouds along with Tarzan swing, ate lunch at amazing Italian place- pizzas, pastas and fresh juices. Drive to playa hermosa beach resort- A black sand pacific beach. Day 4-drove to Manuela Antonio - tropical humid forest walk leading to a beautiful white sand beach. Gelatos to calm down the heat followed by vegan lunch including pad Thai and oriental rice with vegetables and amazing fruit drinks. Stayed close to SanJose Airport to catch a mid morning flight next day. Overall I gave 4 stars and not 5 because of long drives from one place to another. May have been better to do Arenal and Monteverde alone to avoid long drives. Otherwise the country is full of endless beautiful scenery Tour guide was constantly engaging us with information, stopped when we spotted animals or birds, driver extremely capable. I must add with all the travel we missed 2 things sunset at the playa hermosa beach and arenal volcano walk as we couldn't arrive on time although it was part of the plan.

Beautiful - Above all, Luis is a guide like no other. He got to know our entire group and changed the experience to make it for us. The Tour was very fast but it is not the fault of the company or Luis. The country is big and there is a lot to see and learn. I recommend that you take the tour for more days if you can because you will want more time. At least they take the three-day tour and enjoy every second of it. Excuse my Spanish, Spanish is my second language.

Living The Pura Vida - - The selection of breakfast and lunch places were always delicious and with good quality standards, the places were clean and they served us the food in a good portion and with good flavor, it does not include alcoholic drinks but we paid the difference without problem. - The places we visited were incredible and the attention of the driver and guide were always present, in my opinion we visited many places very quickly; At some moments I felt that it could not be enjoyed because there were so many places in the plan and they were far away in distance, we could not complete the "extra" places or pit stops due to the distance and the time we were on the road, a general problem in Costa Rica NOT from the agency. - This time we went to celebrate my birthday and everyone on the tour sang me the mañanitas and we blew out the candles on a mini cake, I really appreciate that detail 100% - The accommodations were very good, a very important concern for me, they were always clean, with AC and hot water and the attention of the hotels was very good. I would recommend this tour 100% with the option of going for more days, with more time to enjoy all of Costa Rica 100%
