Terrific guide, wonderful day, beautiful views - We had a great day with Luis, who really personalized the experience for us and made it a rewarding and educational experience. We learned a lot about Costa Rican history and there was spectacular views throughout the day and we also enjoyed a delicious lunch at Rancho Orosi.

Laid back, Educational, Scenic Tour. - Once again we had a wonderful tour with Alberto. We went to the top of the 2nd highest volcano in Costa Rica, visited an old basillica and some old ruins, saw the beautiful Orosi Valley and had a great lunch in Orosi. Alberto taught us some more Spanish words and stopped often for us to take photos. This was an educational and laid back tour. Just what we needed on our last day here.

Beautiful and Informative - Had a great time and really enjoyed our guide, Geraldo, he was very friendly and knowledgeable. The Irazu park and churches in Cartago were wonderful however the hot springs were a bit of a let down. Ended up spending more time walking around the grounds of the spa and enjoying nature so even with that disappointment we still had a blast.
