“Outstanding tour - We met our driver, Emilio Martinez, exactly where and when we were supposed to meet. He met us with a van that was perfect for us. I had a transportable scooter and a wheeled walker and they both fit in the back. Emilio was very helpful and informative through the whole tour. He even had cold drinks for us ready in the van, which was appreciated greatly. The sloth and monkey sanctuary was the best time!” - Reviewed on 2025-01-21
