Great tour and glad we booked - Our guide Yurleni was muy tuanes (super cool)! She drove really well, brought us to some cool spots in Cartago, Volcán Irazú (was clear, saw birds and a coyote), the Orosi valley (beautiful view and farms along the road), the Ujarrás ruins (super beautiful flowers, spider plant tree and parrots). Lunch at cafetal overlooking the lake was beautiful.

A great day trip - would highly recommend! - Hayro is a brilliant tour guide - he told us some very interesting facts in both Spanish and English whilst driving. The ultimate multi-tasker! The volcano and Orosi Vally are beautiful and the lunch on lake Cachi was also a highlight. Would highly recommend this trip.

A Wonderful Day - Our tour guide, Lenny, made the entire day exquisite, not only was she jovial and delightful to talk to, she was so well acquainted with the area history, fun haunts to see, and so very interactive, showing us different plants, rocks, etc... indigenous to the area. The tour itself was fantastic, the volcanoes were a natural marvel, the Ujarra ruins so cool, filled with wildlife and beautiful flowers, trees, plants....Seeing the basilica and learning the lore and history behind it. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at La Cason del Cafetal restaurant to end our wonderful day.

Great Way to See Some Iconic Places - Highly recommend this tour. Better than expected. Was initially told we wouldn't be able to see the Ujarrás Ruins, but that wasn't the case. So glad we were able. Also, when we first got to the volcano, it was foggy. Tour guide allowed us to stay a little longer, after the skies cleared. Really appreciated our tour guide.
