Informative and fun - We had an amazing experience with our trip guide Alex! From the beginning, He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, informed, and having a great time every step of the way. His recommendations, attention to detail, and positive attitude truly made this trip unforgettable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an stress-free and memorable experience. Thank you again for such an incredible time!

Long but really fun trip - It was a wonderful and fun trip. Our guide was Stephen and he was very knowledgeable and kind. At times he went out of his way to show us different birds/animals. The trip was a long one but everything went on time. We had a lot of stops but all of them were good and informative. The highlight was the relaxing hot springs at the end of the trip followed by a buffet dinner.

Solo Traveler Experience - As a solo traveler you never know what to expect and this experience was one to remember. Alex was an amazing guide and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. Everything was taken care of from lunch, dinner and admission fee into the hot springs and a few stops between to learn about the Costa Rican culture. Be prepared for a long day of beautiful views and great company. If this is your first time in Costa Rica or want a day experience outside of the city, I couldn’t recommend this experience more.

Overqualified. - Alex is an excellent guide and driver. The excursion has unnecessary stops, and the chosen restaurants for meals detracted from our guide's work. Places with dirty restrooms, the food and the space were deplorable.
