The best day trip from San Jose - We had the best time on this tour! It’s a long day, but well worth it. Giovanni and Fernando took great care of us. They made sure we got to experience Costa Rica not just through the stops mentioned on the tour, but made a couple of quick stops along the way (coffee, souvenirs, pineapple plants) and told us about Costa Rica history on our way to our destination. The views and greenery in the La Fortuna area are breathtaking, and we loved ending our adventure relaxing in the Bali Hot Springs. Thank you for a memorable day!!

Amazing Private Tour -- DO IT! - Luis from Greenway Tours was nothing short of exceptional! He arrived on time with snacks/waters on board & confirmed our tour plans via WhatsApp the day before. Super knowledgeable about the area, giving us different historical info about many areas of Costa Rica that only a local would know. Weather was near perfect with GREAT views of the Volcano from the bridges and Bladi Hot Springs was just what we needed after hiking through the jungle. The buffet lunch had fruit & pasta options so veggies have food options. If possible, bring your own towel; rental is $10USD for a Towel but they return it once you bring the towel back. I normally take small group tours for the pricing, but if you are a couple or have a small group, take this tour and ask for Luis. Be prepared for 6hrs of travel (3hrs each way) but I wasn't even bothered by the drive because Luis was so informative. Great job, Greenway Tours and Viator!

Memorable and Relaxing Times - Gerardo was great! He was friendly, communicative, and provided door to door service. We were in CR celebrating my girlfriend's birthday. I was initially undecided about renting a vehicle. However, I am happy that I did not. The excursions were awesome and Gerardo helped take away potential stress. We were able to sit back, relax, and just have fun because he made us feel comfortable and safe. We definitely plan to book Gerardo for future travels to the country.

Worth the private tour - We booked this private tour as we had a short stay in Costa Rica and wanted to make the most out of it. Roy was an excellent guide with a huge knowledge and a great way to bring the information over. The duration of the day trip was just right. We felt safe and comfortable throught the whole trip.

Amazing Costa Rica! - This is the best tour group ever❣️Everything was beautifully planned. We would never have seen and done so many amazing and wonderful things without Greenways Nature Tours and our fantastic guide Alberto❣️ It is clear that Alberto loves his country, and his passion for nature made us love his country as well. Costa Rica 🇨🇷 is a beautiful place, a clean country, with wonderful people. The animals, plants, birds, and the countryside is simply amazing. We will return. We will use this tour company again, and, of course, we will request that Alberto to be our guide. Thank you Greenways❣️
