Highly recommend - The overall tour was nice. We got picked up from our hotel by Harlem and Jeffrey about bam. We stopped at a coffee field that had a shop and the coffee was amazing. Harlem explained everything along the way and the views were breathtaking. My favorite part of the trip was the food and the hot springs. We got back to our Hotel around 8:30 so prepare for a long day.

Great Costa Rican Adventure - Harlem and Jeffrey led a fantastic day of adventure—touring a coffee plantation, sight seeing at Arenal Volcano, visiting La Paz waterfall, taking a dip in the hot springs, and more. Harlem was good natured and friendly and a terrific tour guide. Highly recommended!

Pura Vida - It was my first time in Costa Rica. Harlem our tour guide is very knowledgeable and fun to have on the tour. Jeffrey the driver was on time. All the stops made and the food was delicious. I truly enjoyed my time in Costa Rica. I would recommend you to visit during the summer months. It was rainy and cold. Thank you Harlem.

Big fun day - Harlem and Jeffrey our driver were awesome. All of the events were great. Iguanas, sloths, hummingbirds, waterfall, hot springs, meals were all fun. Just know there was a whole lot of sitting in the van travelling from place to place but its the only way to do all this in one day. Really fun trip. Thanks Harlem!

Excellent Trip on Costa Rica with Alex and Jonathan - Alex and Johnatan are amazing. It was the best trip ever. Trip was excellent. We visited a lot of beautifull places. Johnatan is a very good driver. Alex took care of our group and entertained us throughout the entire trip. Both of them looked out for places along the way where there were animals like parrots, toucans, and sloths, and they stopped so we could see them. Additionally, Alex had a telescope for observing the wildlife, so we were able to see the animals up close. The food was wonderful. In each place, we were served an excellent meal. I highly recommend taking a tour with Alex and Jonathan.

Amazing tour - I really really loved the tour with Alex the tour guide and Jonathon the driver. They were really funny and made the tour really engaging and interesting. They spotted lots of cool animals on the way to our different activities and while we were in the car for a long time, it didn’t feel like that as it was broken up with stops. The food was really good and I couldn’t recommend the tour enough.
