Day Tripper - Francisco was absolutely wonderful! He knows so much about the animals, plants, geography and history of Costa Rica. He helped us take the most beautiful photos of the animals he found. The hike to the Arenal Volcano is definitely an adventure we will never forget!

My incredible adventure in the Arenal Volcano - The tour was excellent, I learned so much about the flora, fauna and history of the Arenal Volcano, I'm pleased to be there for the first time and I want to make sure that I would go again if I could, so yeah, I want to say that I will go ahead to continue my English degree and see if one day I become a tourist guide and see if I can travel to others countries, may it be by God's hand, blessings.

Costa Rica 2022 - Pedro was a fantastic guide, very accommodating for all of the group and the different interests of everyone. Absolutely amazing knowledge and ability to spot literally any animal/bird in the trees and gave everyone the chance to see through the telescope too. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting Costa Rica/La Fortuna area.

absolutely amazing - Had a very nice guidance from Marvin! If we hadn't had him as a guide, we wouldn't have known much about the wildlife. From spider monkeys and various bird species to hummingbirds and reptiles. Definitely worth repeating
