Second time around was much better - We took this tour last year and enjoyed it, however this time it was so much better. Hazel our guide was above and beyond all our expectations, she new the land, history, animals and the country. when we come next year we will try to request her. oh, and the monkeys were very cool

Great Value - Our tour guide and driver were so good about spotting wildlife & stopping off the road so we could all get out to see. They even had a spotting scope & we all had a chance to look through it & even get magnified photos on our cameras from the scope. We saw Macaws, a Toucan & a bird from the Turkey family (not a Turkey vulture). The stop at the monkey house was fun, and the lookout point into the forest was beautiful. We also stopped at a very nice open air restaurant on a hill for a rest break & optional food/ drink purchase. The last stop was a good place to shop.

Great Cultural Tour with Hazel and Michael! - We had 16 of us from the same cruise ship, and this tour was the perfect fit! We didn’t want the “adventure” type—just a relaxed cultural experience within our 8:00 to 4:30 window. Hazel and Michael were awesome together—so friendly, funny, and full of great local info. They gave us a real feel for Puntarenas, from the local markets to the beautiful countryside. We had time for photos, food, and even a little shopping before heading back right on time. Highly recommend booking with Hazel and Michael if you want a fun, laid-back way to see Costa Rica! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Puntarenas Costa Rico and Surrounding Area - Overall a great day. The local operator was Odyssey. Hazel-guide & Michael-driver, were great. She was very knowledgeable and both were very courteous. We really enjoyed all aspects of the tour, what we saw and where we went, seeing the rain forest, mountains, the Monkey House, the small towns and the lunch we had at the tour operator’s private cafe in the mountains was delicious. The only negative we found was the vehicle we travelled in. It was very tight for the average sized person with our knees crammed into the back of the seat in front of us and no wiggle room while seated. We have enjoyed our many tours with Viator and will continue to use your services.

Excellent - one of the best tours for the money that we have ever enjoyed!!! - Excellent! Both Hazel and Michael were wonderful. They answered all of our questions, explained the history, the animals and the respect that Costa Rica holds for them and made sure that all of us had all our questions answered. Hazel had a telescoping "thing" (don't remember what it was called) but she was able to zoom in on things like the Scarlet Macaws and then take pictures and video of the animals on all of our phones! Additionally, our driver Michael was so helpful with everything - I walk with a cane and the van steps can sometimes be challenging - but Michael made sure that he helped me at all times. They were both excellent and the lunch restaurant they took us to was really, really good. Best fish tacos I've had in years!!!

Fun and Adventure - Wonderful your guide! Our your guide Ron, took us to great places. We spent time with friendly monkeys, saw McCaws, and Tucson’s. He also bought us to a fabulous gift shop. Men were carving balsa wood and haunting wall hanging. This was one of the best gift shops in tours

Great Driving Tour of Puntareanus!! - Ronnie and Roy were a great team from Odyssey Tours. They showed us monkeys, toucans and scarlet macaws! Tour included fresh fruit market, rainforest, stunning Mountain View’s and a huge souvenir shop with coffee and fresh fruit juices and lasted about 5 hours. Bus was comfortable and included AC and water.

Great Tour - It was nothing like the explanation- no crocodiles as bridge was closed but went to several pretty towns with big squares, a money house and a great butterfly house. Guide was great and very knowledgeable.

Was it an intentional Bait-and-Switch...or not? Very Dissatisfied. - Sadly, this excursion only faintly resembled what was advertised. The original description on VIATOR listed three key parts of the itinerary: A visit to the Cathedral in Puntarenas, a trip to see crocodiles at the Tarcoles Bridge, and a trip through the Carara National Park. The ONLY part of the itinerary that occurred was the visit to the Cathedral. We then visited a captive campuchin monkey preserve, two other small town squares and a bunch of shopping stops. But we selected this excursion specifically for the crocodiles and the national park visit. When 2/3's of the titled itinerary items and 90 percent of the allotted time (did I mention the tour was substantially longer than advertised?) did not occur at all, I think we have a right to request a refund. When we inquired of our tour guide about a visit to the bridge, she told us that the bridge was closed for six months and we could not visit. Yet, every ship-sponsored excursion that mentioned the Tarcoles bridge went to the bridge. Cruise passengers remarked about the extreme traffic, but all counted the bridge visit as a highlight -- a highlight we did not see and were lied to when we inquired. Further whenever anyone asked about the national park, the subject was simply avoided. Viator should certainly inquire about this tour company and this tour. If this is how they operate, I encourage you to drop them like a hot potato. And I still want our money back!!! Note to Viator: I have several more tours reserved with you in the next six months. I will be watching how you handle this disaster.

Given the wrong booking date without refund - Very bad experience. I booked a cruise excutsion.I was not aware I was given the wrong booking date (7th Octo) instead of 10th Nov. Viator notced my cruise was not docking at the port on 7 Octo. and alerted me by email and I replied asking for correction. However since then despite several enquiries Viator did'nt reply to me. I feel helpless.
