We had an amazing time. Juan was very attentive and he made the entire experience very memorable. He was very attentive to our needs and made sure we experienced every activity listed on the booking. He also made sure to accurately put in our meal choices prior to arriving to the restaurants. I would definitely recommend having him as a driver and tour guide.

My compliments to Juan. He was an awesome tour guy, very knowledgeable, polite, respectful, and cared about our well-being. I truly think we got more than what we expected and I definitely would recommend this tour to anybody and everybody. The only two things that I feel would be better. If you’re looking for 100% excellence is our lunch menu was not that great unfortunately dinner was excellent though. I also think the air conditioning in the van was pretty poor. I do believe that Juan mentioned That it was a hotter day than usual, but everything else was great. Thank you for making this an unforgettable experience.

This was an amazing tour, and a great way to see Costa Rica. I was afraid to zipline but felt safe and the hot springs were super relaxing. Our tour guide Fernando was awesome. He knew so much about Costa Rica and I learned a lot. Definitely recommend if you want to spend an entire day on a tour.
