A great day trip - would highly recommend! - Hayro is a brilliant tour guide - he told us some very interesting facts in both Spanish and English whilst driving. The ultimate multi-tasker! The volcano and Orosi Vally are beautiful and the lunch on lake Cachi was also a highlight. Would highly recommend this trip.

A Wonderful Day - Our tour guide, Lenny, made the entire day exquisite, not only was she jovial and delightful to talk to, she was so well acquainted with the area history, fun haunts to see, and so very interactive, showing us different plants, rocks, etc... indigenous to the area. The tour itself was fantastic, the volcanoes were a natural marvel, the Ujarra ruins so cool, filled with wildlife and beautiful flowers, trees, plants....Seeing the basilica and learning the lore and history behind it. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at La Cason del Cafetal restaurant to end our wonderful day.

Great Way to See Some Iconic Places - Highly recommend this tour. Better than expected. Was initially told we wouldn't be able to see the Ujarrás Ruins, but that wasn't the case. So glad we were able. Also, when we first got to the volcano, it was foggy. Tour guide allowed us to stay a little longer, after the skies cleared. Really appreciated our tour guide.

Great excursion - This was a great excursion! Lenny our tour guide did an excellent job adding small side stops sharing the beautiful parks and foliage of Costa Rica. The volcano was impressive with great views of the surrounding area. The lunch stop was also a great experience at a coffee plantation with a beautiful setting. Well worth booking again.

Great day trip - Although there is a lot of driving, you do see much of the beautiful countryside and many of the local sites. Our guide was excellent and made a huge amount of difference in terms of understanding how things work and what the country is like.
