Excellent Tour! - This tour was excellent. Our tour guide, Jose was very accommodating and professional. The overall tour, the pick-up to drop-off was completely enjoyable. The information provided during our travel through the local areas was very insightful. The waterfalls and animal refuge were memories to be cherished.

Last minute reservation - We booked this excursion late the night before when our scheduled excursion cancelled at around 8pm the night before. The tour lead, Ortero, was exceptional and made the trip top notch. Also the buffet lunch was much better than anticipated.

A great day trip out of San Jose - I would recommend this trip for a nice day out of the city! The tour picked us up at our hotel, our guide Alejandro and driver Daniel were friendly and provided insight both through the drive and during the tour at La Paz. Definitely consider bringing a light rain jacket and non slip running shoes as rain is likely and the pathways will be wet from the waterfalls... and there are a lot of stairs to navigate during the waterfall walk to get the best views. All in all would suggest taking this tour as a nice day trip!

The Best Costa Rican Tour - The best tour in Costa Rica - hands-down. Roger was a PHENOMENAL tour guide - he answered every single question we had about so many different aspects of the country and wildlife. Very knowledgeable. The day was perfect and it was clear that Roger pays attention to every detail. When we felt like we wanted to rest we had time and when we wanted to see more we did - it was perfectly paced. Highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Nice leisure way to spend the day - Great company, transportation, beautiful scenery, however they call it wildlife refuge, it’s basically zoo- the closest we got was big open bird cage where u could see beautiful toucans up close. If you love waterfalls this tour is for you.
