CR’s beautiful nature - Miller was an outstanding guide- professional & personable. We saw lots of wildlife and enjoyed learning about cocoa production from start to finish. The lunch was delicious & we got a bonus of learning about the local blue butterfly. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to enjoy Costa Rica’s nature. Thank you Miller for a great day!

Rain Forest ,wildlife , Waterfalls and chocolate private tour - This tour was worth every penny . Our tour guide Miller was on time and very informative about the areas of Costa Rica. Our first stop was the waterfall where we were among the first to arrive and also got great pics before the crowd came. Second stop was out chocolate tour where we went to a cocoa plantation and saw the process of making chocolate also there was some other educational moments where we learned about the agriculture of the land. Third stop was the rainforest where got got to see sloths ,howler monkeys and Tucans of course there was so much more to see but I had a hangover so I appreciate the fact the he was sensitive to my needs. Also there’s a restaurant on site where you got delicious authentic Costa Rican food. Staff was friendly. And informative . Lastly he showed us two volcanoes on our way back which be got some beautiful pictures. He thanked us for helping the tourism since it was been hard due to covid . I definitely would recommend this tour.

Amazing tour of Costa Rica! - We had the best time on our tour with Guanacaste Dream Vacations. Miller was such a great guide and showed us the real Costa Rica! We did the chocolate tour with the water falls and rain forests and then booked him again for a coffee tour. We got way more than we bargained for ok the tour and felt so welcomed at each location. I would definitely recommend Miller for your tour of Costa Rica. You will not be disappointed!

Excellent tour - Our tour guide Carlos was excellent and helped us fall in love with the country. He was incredibly knowledgable and pointed out all kinds of things about Costa Rica as we drove between locations. The wildlife tour at the Chocolate Farm was incredible. The owners of the farm were great and we learned a lot about wildlife and forest. We got to try lots of different things.

Most AMAZING Tour EVER!! - Gabriel was the absolute BEST Tour Guide our family has had in all of our years of vacationing!!! He taught us so much about the culture and the land of Costa Rica, and that was just in the car ride! It felt like he was instant family :-) The waterfall was absolutely breath-taking with the surrounding area so beautiful. The Chocolate tour was Our Favorite. We had Gabriel joined by Luis from the plantation take us around the whole place, teaching us about the entire process of tree to bar chocolate, the local animals and vegetation (even tried a plant that the locals use as a mild anesthetic!) We traveled down to the river and swung on a swing that was mounted on a 300+ year old tree and we had a blast! Then we went back to the main house after drinking fresh coconut water, and then helped actually make chocolate!! The kids loved the fresh chocolate milk and the sugar water that they pressed from the sugar cane. It was such a unique experience and it was so special because of Gabriel and who he knows. Then we went to lunch at an authentic Costa Rican restaurant where the food was sooooooo delicious. On the way Gabriel stopped at a path to let us walk and see the Rio Celeste - what beautiful Blue waters!!! After lunch, Gabriel sought out one of the owners for a surprise for us. We had the opportunity to hold TWO BABY TUCANS!!!! They were extraordinary . . . the owner saved them both when they fell out of their nest. Next was our journey to the sloth tour. It was in a private area where all animals are protected and the tour guides are very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the animals, flowers, plants, and trees. And the guide had a scope to let us see and take pictures of all the animals up close. What a Unique and Special experience. It was all because we had such a caring, knowledgeable, outgoing guide like Gabriel. If we could give him 10 stars we would!!! Going to come back and request him specifically :-)
