On an adventure with friendly people - Josè the tour guide was excellent. Always offered to take my picture and always prioritized showing me the best views. Safe driver, knowledgeable, and good English. Could not recommend any more highly! 😎

Irazu Volcano,Orosi Valley Tour - Excellent guide, unforgettable experience, very well organised tour,everything ás previously descrbed and more,definitely recommended!

Perfect day trip from San Jose with a lot of variety!! - Ricardo was our amazing host for the Irazu tour. We picked a day with a bad accident in San Jose and traffic was crazy. As a result, the company split our group so as not to delay the tour. Two of us were lucky to get a private tour with Ricardo. We started with a beautiful drive up to the Irazu volcano and National Park through beautiful countryside and farmland (once you escape the city). The park is at high altitude and even in the sun it was cold - definitely requires a sweater/coat and ideally long pants. There is no ‘Green lake’ in the crater these days - just the volcanic ash/rock and grass growing in one of the 3 craters - but great views. The next stop is the old capital city of Cartago with its stunning Catholic church. Spectacular detail inside which is a stark contrast to the clean, white, Byzantine exterior. Lunch was in the Orosi valley which we stopped to take photos of on the way down and on our return. Stunning orange blooms on the poró trees made the views even more beautiful. Great lunch - a very traditional Costa Rican dish of rice, vegetables, and plantains with fish, chicken or steak. The plantain ceviche starter was my favorite part and the Cas fruit juice was really good. Final stop was the Lancaster Botanical Gardens - home to an array of plants including a phenomenal collection of or bids (Which Lancaster devoted his life to study and preserve). A great day trip and you won't go wrong if you get Ricardo - he is a wealth of knowledge on CR history, geology, and plants.…. The list goes on!

A great small group tour - Purposely booked on a small tour for a break and wasn't disappointed. 4 other people on the tour along with Alberto our guide. We were lucky with the cloud at the top of Irazu that cleared just after arriving and so had a good time exploring there. There was a lower level of cloud that meant far reaching views weren't possible, but it was still impressive. The basilica at Cartago was interesting, a service was in progress so couldn't explore it too much. The botanical gardens of Lankester were a peaceful stop and some of the orchids were really impressive. Finished with a short trip to Orosi and the church there. All in all a really good day and very well organised.

Cultural tour - It is a mandatory tour to start the walks. The guide, Fran, apart from giving us information about the tourist spots to visit, also tells us about the culture of Costa Rica. The weather on the volcano is extremely changeable, sun upon arrival and 5 minutes later rain and finally the sun again which allows for many photos to be taken. The church of Our Lady of the Angels is very beautiful in addition to being a site frequently visited by tourists. Osori, the place where we ate, is a small and quiet town, next to the mountains, perhaps they need to give us a little information about the place. Also, I thank the guide Fran for recommending us to wear warm clothes, because the climate of the volcano is very cold

Top service, Totally recommend it - I had a really wonderful time, went alone but met in the trip 2 other ladies traveling solo. We all had a great time, our guide Ricardo was great! He shared with us a lot of knowledge in regards to the places we visited, great sense of humour, friendly, we could not expect more... We went to all these BEAUTIFUL places, learned some of Costa Rica's history, had this delicious healthy lunch, really recommend Destiny Travel

A great experience - A very enjoyable day with our guide Ricardo who was extremely knowledgeable about all things Costa Rican. We went to the volcano first thing which was great as we had a clear view. We did a short 20 minute trail around the craters. There were plenty of other stops along the way including old church ruins and the basilica. The lunch was also delicious! Would definitely recommend as a day trip out of San Jose (:

Beautiful Orosi and awe-inspiring Irazu - I do wish we had been able to explore more of Cartago City and it's ruins, but this was still a great tour and lucky me - I got a private guide because I was the only person who signed up from south San Jose that day! Unfortunately the dry season has been so hot and dry that there was no water in the crater, but it's still a beautiful and interesting area. Again, I wish I had been able to go to the viewpoint but the guide's car was not a 4x4. Orosi Valley was the highlight - the beautiful damn, hanging bridge, spectacular views, and gorgeous greenery.

Very good tour of small town Costa Rica and the volcano - Such a unique and different side of Costa Rica and I recommend folks take this trip. Loved walking around the volcano crater shrouded in fog and seeing the Orosi valley coffee plantations at a distance and getting to experience small town Costa Rica. Episode have been a 5/5 if it wasn’t raining.

Great to get out of the city - A nice trip out of the city. Tour guide has answers to any questions. We didn’t make it into Cartago which was disappointing, but the tour did stop in other places, so we didn’t miss out too much! The lunch was delicious and it was nice to see more of the countryside! I’d recommend for ages 25+ and we were lucky as we had hardly any rain! Would be great if it was an hour or two longer to fit everything in!
