Awesome tour guide and great sites - Mauricio was an amazing guide!! The visits to various churches, the lookout point, and lankester botanical garden were great! I would have liked to see some additional sites like some of the ruins but this tour still checked off many of the places we were hoping to see in orosi valley

Beautiful tour - It would have been an excellent tour if the time management was better. We spent a lot of time waiting for the bus and guide to arrive at Cartago. Erik is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We learned so much about the tropical forest and plants in Lankester Garden. Unfortunately we didn’t not see the Japanese Garden. Didn’t stop to see Orosi river valley either. The pictures in the booking site were so amazing and I was hoping to see all those places but didn’t.
Lunch at Hotel La Casona was incredible. The venu was so beautiful and food was delicious!
All in all, a good day trip from San Jose!

Good trip - Pretty good. Traffic construction was a pain in Cartago. The botanical garden was great! Would have liked more than an hour there though. Lunch was fabulous. Guide was skillful at translation and driving. Very short visits at ruins. Nice cathedral visit.

Not enough going on to be worth the travel time - Lacking in activities,
The basilica of the lady of the angels was very impressive.
Lankester gardens very well laid out, unfortunately it rained rather heavy so didn't study the plants as long as I should have.
Lunch was nice.
The rest of the time was travelling .
Expected to be walking in the valley and getting insights to the culture of the area. So disappointed, not worth the money
