We learned so much! - We had an excellent time on this tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about history, plants and animals, and I felt like we learned so much while we were seeing everything.

Fun tour. - We had a good tour to Irazu Volcano. There were only five of us tourists, so it was a manageable group. We were the only ones when we got to the volcano site. It was pleasant to have the whole area to ourselves. It was a beautiful place to see the Caribbean and Pacific sides from there, and above the clouds! We had a little migraine from being so high up in altitude and coming down the volcano. Trip was well worth it. Thank you.

Good tour; what's included incorrect - The driver and tour guide were wonderful and very knowledgeable. The tour description says there was wifi and snacks were included. Neither were available. I was counting on both of those features.

Terrible communication - Cancelled my booking, even though it had been confirmed. Sent me a message 5 hours after booking asking for hotel pick up details, provided them, then suddenly half an hour later wrote to say there were no more spaces! This was at 11 pm at night, so unable to arrange another trip for my last day in Costa Rica. Unacceptable.
