Unforgettable!!❤️ - My first experience in Costa Rica, and it was the best. Our guide was excellent, but our driver Mauricio was the best. He picked us up in San José to drive 3 hours to La Fortaleza. We always feel safe. A hug to all, we brought beautiful experiences to the island of charm. 🇵🇷

anniversary trip - Our guide Mario was very kind, he helped us see many animals on the hanging bridges, something that we would not have been able to see if we had gone alone, he even stopped at one point to see a sloth!! The truth is that everything was incredible...I do recommend taking a tour for the first time...greetings from Mexico and again thanks to Mario

A must do! - This trip was amazing & Roy, our guide, was incredible! He pointed out so many animals that we’d never spot & even pulled over to show us a sloth we passed while driving when we didn’t see one in the forest. Lunch & dinner included were great! & soaking in the hot springs after an active day was awesome. This is definitely a must do when visiting La Fortuna!

Excellent experience and amazing guide (Kenia)! - The tour was amazing and very well organised. In one day we visited Hanging Bridges, Waterfalls and Vulcano Arenal. The guide (Kenia) was super well prepared, friendly, attentive to our needs and always ready to reply to our questions. Apart from guiding us in the locations, she was continuously spotting beautiful birds and animals that we would never be able to find on our own and helped us to see and picture them. I recommend to ask her as a guide! Moreover, we were given precise information about the plan and we always had enough time to rest, use the toilets, take pictures etc. The lunch was also very good.

Just do it! - Just do it! Our guide today was Kenia. And she was awesome! My nephew-son, who is 9, was able to do the whole tour while asking a bunch of questions, and Kenia took the time to answer each one of them! She was excellent at finding snakes and such during every trial. We also included the Baldi Hot Springs, and that was an awesome way to end a full day of hiking and walking. Also, the group was amazing, and it felt like a group of friends outing! Like I said, just do it!

Comfortable option to travel, discover and learn a lot! - Our Guide Mario was super cool! He was sharing a lot of knowhow during the whole trip. Everything was organized very well and there was no delay. I can highly recommend 7tours if you want to visit the hanging bridges. We would have never seen so many animals without Mario. Thank you!

Wonderful day - Brian was punctual, knowledgeable and super fun to spend the day with it. Our group was small and transportation was comfortable. The day was fantastic. Food was excellent. The highlight was the waterfall and ending the tour on the hot springs. I highly recommend this tour.

Full Day Tour, Come over-prepared lol - This tour was pretty good. We didnt get to see as many animals as I wanted in Mistico and the tour group moved pretty slow. One family brought their 4 year old son and he talked and whined most of the time. The tour guide was just okay. I did the full day tour including the hot springs ( Baldi) at the end, If I were to do it again I would definitely leave the hot springs for a different day. This excursion was LONG and we were alll tired and soaked lol to actually get to enjoy the springs. The hike through mistico was longer than expected, La fortuna waterfall was my absolute favorite part of this trip minus the hundreds of steps to get into the waterfall lol The included costa rican lunch was delicious. The Hike through the arenal volcano national park was miserable! It rained the whole time and that hike was also longer than expected! It was slippery/ rocky/ medium level hike. Transportation was prompt and the van was clean. The driver was also good. Baldi hotsprings is a must do, that place is huge and the springs are so well kept and clean! The food at baldi is mediocre at most! Definitely bring extra sets of clothing and two towels (especially if youre doing the hot springs and if it rains bring ponchos, umbrellas) I had ponchos and a waterproof bookbag. I also brought extra clothing but everything still got soaked. all in all though I would recommend this excursion especially if time is limited in la fortuna. This tour allows you to see all the spots this town is known for !
