Wonderful Experience - From start to finish this tour was organized and very enjoyable. Our guide (I believe his name was Umberto) was what made the experience so memorable. His attention to detail and his willingness to accommodate all our needs was incredible. Thanks for the great adventure.

Pura Vida!! - I can't say enough good things about this tour company. We did 2 tours with them, the Palo Verde boat ride and the Rincon de la Vieja Combo. Both were excellent. Alberto was our guide both times. He is knowledgeable, interesting, and fun and knows how to move things at a good tempo. He was a delight to meet and learn about his life! Kevin, the owner, was also with us on the first day. He's also great and we really enjoyed getting to know him and learn about his life too. I would absolutely book another tour with this company and encourage anyone to do the same! Really fun, varies, and interesting!

10/10 - Highly Recommend - Amazing experience and 100% would recommend. Every part of the trip was well thought out and the guide went above and beyond to make the experience flawless. We got to see a number of cool animals including birds, crocodiles, monkey, oxen’s…highly recommend. I would do this tour again in the future!

Breathtaking, amazing!!!! - The experience was so amazing. We got very nice videos and photos. I will be bringing my kids with us next time. Contour made this experience unforgettable.

Great outing for kids and adults. Our family included ages 8-73. We all enjoyed it immensely! - Our grandchildren, ages 8, 9, 10, & 11, loved seeing a host of birds, monkeys, and crocs. So fun! Lunch and refreshments were great, too, in a beautiful and interesting river retreat. Wonderful guides and drivers.

Excellent day! - Punctual and knowledgeable, Gabriel was a good driver and a wonderful guide. He showed us so many animals and local stops for reasonably priced souvenirs.

Thank you so much! - Costour: I wanted to thank you for your professionalism and efficiency throughout our stay in Costa Rica! Your accessibility was very reassuring! Nice excursion to Palo Verde! Looking forward to doing business with you again on our next trip to Costa Rica!

Crocs and Birds and MONKEYS! OH MY - We were blown away by our trip to the river. Memo, our AMAZING Driver and guide took us to see locals diving for buckets of mineral rich soils that were hauled by gorgeous oxen. We were offered fresh cantaloupe by a fellow on the way and Memo drove us through his small village on the way to Palo Verde. We learned SO MUCH. Once at the very “ Green” River we were helped onto a comfortable covered boat with Manuel as our Captain and Andres as our “ Naturalist’s guide” We saw amazing birds, lizards, crocodiles and bats native to the region. We were told by Memo that nature has no guarantees but I can assure that the river ride was green and fresh and simply beautiful A high point was seeing 3 of the 4 species of monkeys in Costa Rica. This was “ highly unusual” according to all guides but Manuel was truly an “ animal whisperer” so howler, spider and capuchin monkeys all came to hang out! The capuchins ( like Marcel from Friends) were inches away as Manuel chatted to the wee creatures with adorable porcelain looking faces. Great photo ops for sure Lunch at a family owned restaurant offered a chance to see Maria make tortillas over a wood fire. Delicious juice from the area was cold and plentiful with tortilla, rice, beans, fire barbecued chicken and a salad made from another local fruit was all sensational and plentiful served “ family style”. Dragonfruit and coconut ice cream finished off the meal. SO TASTY! Clean bathrooms and great coffee at this spot too. All included. There were some lovely unique souvenirs at very reasonable prices tucked away in a corner for our interest but no pressure to buy A local potter was teaching us his craft and small pieces were available but again NO PRESSURE Memo made sure our very comfy, high quality van was cool and he told us several times that he was there at our service and we should be worry free! We thank Kevin for booking this trip and we could not get over the personalized, quick and kind service provided We have requested Memo for another tour tomorrow. Once again Kevin has planned an itinerary that is personal and thoughtful. We can’t wait to see Memo again. Service was beyond our wildest expectations Thank you from our huge Canadian Hearts COSTOURS are FIRST CLASS all the way!
