I highly recommend both the local cuisine and his Spanish classes! - Such a nice experience while visiting Montezuma. Nidia showed us how to make vegetarian cheviche with plátano and it was interesting to hear her story about the house and how Montezuma has developed the last 30 years. Andy is a super guide, always positive and wants everyone to have a good time. I did the local cuisine combined with Spanish classes with him for a week, which was really good. His English is fluent and he is a good teacher!😊

Great idea, well implemented - Great idea, well implemented. Its a perfect way of practicing spanish and get to know the local culture. The combination of theory and themed activities (feria = local market, how to make Ceviche with Nidia,...) are an unique experience. It is an great alternative to the touristy activities and gives an impression of life in Costa Rica. Andy is an uncomplicated and helpful guy with good english skills. We recommend!

Wonderful cultural experience - Where to begin?! For starters, Andy was fantastic in every way - he was responsive in helping set this up and get us there from Santa Teresa. He also provided great suggestions for future travels in the region and even helped coordinate another excursion. We’re grateful for his excellent English to coordinate as well as translate throughout the experience. He met us while we had a drink in Montezuma and then walked us to the local beach home of Nidia, our culinary host. The setting for her home was fantastic and it felt like a privilege to join her in it. With Nidia’s guidance we made a vegetarian cerviche and mashed plantains (which we’ve now made on our own). My partner was served a beer and I had a homemade tamarind juice. Then we enjoyed the delicious fruits of our labour! If you’re looking for an authentic Costa Rican cultural experience then this is the tour for you - let Andy be your guide and Nidia be your culinary host. Highly recommended!!
