Trip to the Volcano! - Nice trip, with a very knowledgable guide. Our tour departured at 6:30, going straight to the volcano. Then we've been to the other places, including the Basilica, which was not on the list, but was a nice inclusion.

Good must do activity in San Jose CR - The clouds in the mountains didn’t allow us to enjoy the views of the crater at Irazu, but the Cartago church and the Lankester Botanical gardens were awesome. The scenery to the mountain top was fabulous. The lunch was good too by the lake

Good tour - Very much worth visiting. We had a very knowledgable tour guide, and the lunch was fantastic. Irazu volcano part is quite flat, and we had nearly 1 hour there, do consider visiting! The blue lake as shown in the picture is there after it rains, so don't expect to see it in the dry season.

The Lankester Gardens were beautiful - For first part of trip, the Irazu Volcano was nice view of the crater. The lady of the angels church was very beautiful and appreciated that when asked questions the guide was very informative. The Lankester gardens were really pretty and the place was really well taken care of. The gardens made the trip well worth it. My favorite part was La Ceiba restaurant which was amazing. The food was tasty and presentation was delightful. I would recommend the tour and asking questions if want to get more from tour.

Great tour - Wonderful tour in Costa Rica. Great views from the volcano, nice town in Cartago, great view of the lake from the restaurant, and beautiful botanical garden.

Avsome day trip from San Jose - The trip was awsome - lunch delicious at the lake restaurant. Volcano started in clouds but cleared out. Basilica breathless. Nice small group 6 people.

Very complete tour where you get a... - <p>Very complete tour where you get a taste of everything. Irazu is a must do in Costa Rica. Highly recommended!</p>

This tour is jam-packed - TOUR GUIDE Our guide was Gravin / Chu cho (I’m not sure if I spelt his name/nickname correctly). Some tours have a guide and a separate driver. Gravin was both and did such an amazing job. He was full of great knowledge and answered all questions. It was also really nice of him to introduce everyone on the bus and where we were from. It’s the little things! IRAZU VOLCANO We drove to the top of the active volcano where we spent about 20/30 minutes taking in the view and taking pictures. Even though it was 10 degrees Celsius, I wasn't really cold (and I was wearing shorts). It was very windy, so bear that in mind if you’re wearing a hat! Note that you won’t see a lake as the water dried up back in 2019 I think. LANKESTER GARDENS This tour around the botanic garden was nice. Again, our guide was so full of knowledge and was telling us about the life cycle of the plants. There was some free time to walk around the Japanese garden at the end. LUNCH This was the last thing on the tour – it was tasty. You get a starter, main and dessert with coffee. The lunch was by a VERY beautiful lake. I definitely recommend walking down and just taking in the serene view and silence. N.B. there were other stops along the way, e.g., a Roman Catholic basilica, the Ujarras lookout site, the ruins of the oldest church in the city. This tour is jam-packed.

Full Day Tour - Irazú Volcano: No views, very cold. Maybe because it was January. Always bring your warmest clothes. Orosi Valley, and Lankester Gardense: Now this was the beauty of the trip; Our guide, Martin, was engaging, humorous and informative. And made the journey. The Los Angeles Basilico is very special and worthwhile place to visit. The hot baths and lunch was a perfect ending of the day.

SCAM DO NOT BUY - DO NOT purchase this trip! I paid online through Tripadvisor as it is a reputable site but it was a total scam. I waited for 2 hours past the departure time for the alleged tour to collect me and no one ever turned up. I tried calling the office number tripadvisor provided and it said the phone was off. I even went to the office in central San Jose to try and get my money back but it was locked and bolted.
