Fantastic tour! - Víctor was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about history and culture. On the way to Volcán Poás we stopped a restaurant with an absolutely delicious breakfast! We then saw La Paz waterfall and a coffee plantation. I would absolutely recommend this tour to others!

Amazing live Volcano experience and coffee tour - This was a such a great experience. Nela was an amazing tour guide. She is extremely passionate about her job and it shows. The experience of witnessing an active volcano and then a beautiful lake 15 minutes away was breathtaking. The coffee learning experience was also very informative on the process of making “ Great Coffee” we learnt a lot . This tour is a must especially if you get Nela to be your guide 🙏🏻😎

Amazing tour at the Poas Volcano and Botas lagoon. - Our guide Nela was amazing . She’s very passionate about her job which makes it so much easier to do such an amazing job. The fact that she had to speak English to those who didn’t speak Spanish and then also speak Spanish was twice the job. If you’re going to book this tour which was fascinating , interesting ( especially the active volcano ) and also refreshing , make sure that Nela is going to be your guide .

The valcano , coffee and butterfly experience - Percy was a very enthusiastic and passionate guide. The tour van got caught in traffic so Percy changed the pick up point and ran a few blocks to pick us up and took us to the van . He made a consscienscious effort to learn our names. Then we went papa valcano we’re he explain some facts and perused up . It was very cloudy at first at the two craters . So he done a clearing dance and finally it cleared enough to see the first crater . Then on to the coffee plantation which was very informative. Lastly the butterfly garden were Percy was very familiar and explained some of their habits .

Mediocre at best - It was pretty good but the tour guide seemed to be in a hurry the whole time even though we had more than enough time. He even rushed one of the people on to the bus 10 minutes before the pick up time even though they were not ready (he went into the hotel to get them 10 minutes before time to get picked up). We never saw La Paz so not quite sure why it says you do. We saw one waterfall on the side of the road and got out but that was it for waterfalls.

Scamming business - This company along with the Coordinators for this tour are irresponsible, lack professionalism, dishonest in providing customer service and scammers. They did not honor a paid tour after they received correct information from me with confirmed receipt then disappeared with no valid form of accountability of communication. They dont even have a local business building in Costa Rica so that there is no real contact. They wouldn't even respect our effort and time being first time customer and travelers. Poor service do not use them.
