Good experience. Learn a lot about Costa Rican cuisine - Great guide. We were able to try different foods as we wanted. The tour wasn’t too long and were able to get done by a little past noon from starting off in the morning.

Wonderful trip - Simply incredible, the guide is very cultured and respectful, she talks to us in a friendly way and knows what she is talking about, she takes us to interesting places and even brings a device so that we can listen to everything she brings while we go to the place.
Just be fascinated by all the history the guide knows.
