Best Tour Guide EVER! - We booked three different tours while in Costa Rica and this was by far the BEST tour company we worked with! Verny was the best tour guide we have EVER had, anywhere! From the moment he picked us up at our hotel, we were treated like family. He is so knowledgeable about the area and provided amazing context and history along the way. He asked what things we were hoping to see on our visit, and did his best to make sure we were able to see every single one of them.
Unlike other tours where we sometimes felt rushed to meet a schedule, Verny was always encouraging us to move at our own pace. He not only went out of the way to try to find the animals we wanted to see (even pulling over on the side of the road when he noticed a sloth in a tree above us), but he also allowed us plenty of time to just watch the animals in their natural environment once they were found. He even doubled as our nature photographer, allowing us to just enjoy the scenery while he worked to capture the perfect shot of the animals!
Do yourself a favor and book this tour! I trust that you will also have the experience of a lifetime. My only regret is that we didn't book all of our other excursions with "Cousin" Verny!

Day Trip experience of a lifetime! - A Perfect Day!
Our family which included our 2 year old granddaughter, 3 month old grandson, and 7 adults experienced an incredible day of seeing some of the best sights of Costa Rica.
Thanks to Verny, our guide we enjoyed swimming in the waterfalls, trekking into the jungle to see the beautiful wildlife, and getting up close and personal with a baby sloth.
Verny treated all of us like family and even held the baby while we all jumped into the waters.
Later he took us thru the Ranas, the place where we saw not only sloths. We saw and got great pictures of blue jeansfrogs, toucans, snakes, and howler monkeys. Incredibly, as we were looking at the sloth who was low to the ground, it seemed to turn toward our granddaughter and reached out its arm to say hello. Afterwards we had a wonderful lunch, and finally a visit to a coffee and chocolate plantation.
Wow!!!! This was an absolute blast! Thanks to Verny we had the opportunity to immerse ourselves into the real Costa Rica.

This is THE ONLY Tour Guide Comp. to use!!! - This was THE BEST tour and Vernie was THE BEST tour guide ever! We had such an amazing experience; our tour guide, Vernie, was knowledgeable and could find creatures in the most amazing of places. Other tour guides were rushing there groups past to get to the waterfall and Vernie let us take our time, he pointed out amazing wildlife no one else found! We saw sloths and snakes and frogs and toucans; so much amazing wildlife. This company puts great emphasis on the person’s experience and it really showed. It was our favorite adventure while in Costa Rica. Next time we will book all our adventures with Vernie!

1000/10 stars! - We booked the Rain Forest Hike: Rio Celeste Waterfall, Sloth & Butterfly Farm
excursion through On The Road Costa Rica before going to Costa Rica due to the amazing reviews we saw online along with the fact that the tour included a lot of the things we wanted to do/see. We must say, the reviews were right!! Before the tour, Anthony, the owner, was very communicative and helpful. The tour started by picking us up at the Westin Reserva Conchal. This tour was wonderful and our tour guide, Verny was phenomenal. Honestly, Verny MADE the tour. His knowledge of Costa Rican history, culture, and wildlife was so educational. He took his time through the tours so we never felt rushed or pressured. His eye for spotting the smallest creatures in the rainforest was incredible- we wouldn’t have seen anything without him. He also had no problem stopping on the side of the road to see wildlife and point it out to us. The lunch spot her took us to was delicioso, large portions and very flavorful! The sloth sanctuary was wonderful as well, Anya, our tour guide showed us several sloths, one that was eye level, frogs, toucans, and snakes. Overall, the tour was very memorable. We would definitely do another tour through On the Road Costa Rica again.

Worth every penny - Thank you Verny and On the Road Costa Rica for the most amazing tour of the rainforest, waterfall, sloths, butterflies, and “tipicál” Costa Rican meal. I felt safe and cared for which is so important to a single mama traveling with teens. We enjoyed all the sights and sounds and flavors. I was in awe of our guide’s knowledge, passion, and respect for our time and priorities.
Should the Universe allow us the honor of Verny’s guidance with On the Road Costa Rica we would feel so blessed to be a member of your família once again! ❤️💙🇨🇷🇺🇸
