Great day trip from San Juan - Great day. Our guide was knowledgeable, and I feel like we had the appropriate amount of time at each place. Gives you a good overview of some of the key “tourist” aspects of CR.

We had an amazing time... - We had an amazing time led by our guide Ovy. It was a long drive overall but we couldn’t even feel it due to the multiple rest stops making it easy and enjoyable. Ovy was very attentive and helpful and gave us many photo opportunities at the rest stops. There’s also plenty of opportunities to buy souvenirs and see animals!

Volcano, waterfalls, coffee and spa day tour. Fernando Drive Top! - My wife and I went. We did the full day tour: coffee plantation, waterfalls, volcano, zip line, spa. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. In total about 14 hours. 14-seater van, there were nine of us. Simply fantastic day, all spectacular, great food and times respected great! The credit for all this goes to Fernando, he was both the driver of the van and the guide. A golden person, trained, passionate! He is number one, he told us the whole story of Costa Rica, he kept us company throughout the trip and explained everything possible. Always smiling, always active, a real show! Thank you so much Fernando 🫂🫂👏👏

Great excursion - I had such a great time on this excursion through costa rica. It wouldn’t have been the same without Fernando. He was such a knowledgeable guide on everything from animals to plants and makes everything so interesting to learn. He has such a positive outlook on everything. I saw monkeys and sloths in the wild while zip lining and drinking coffee in the jungle, 10/10 would recommend.
