A wonderful four days! - Johan adeptly recommended and organized a beautiful four day agenda, combining the classic three day tour and adding the Poas Volcano+La Paz+Plantation stops. What made the tour exceptionally enjoyable was the professionalism, kindness, and knowledge that both guides. Luis and Yancy, provided over the four days. Beyond this, their friendly and energetic disposition made the whole experience lots of fun, with Luis offering a special roadside stop for exceptional strawberries and Yancy indulging our desire for afternoon espresso breaks, always with a smile from both of them! They were highly attentive to our needs ensuring our comfort, satisfaction and safety. The tour offers 3-4 star hotels which are suitable for single night stays, but nothing fancy. The food was typical Cost Rican fair, but the guides did a great job of choosing the better quality restaurants, buffet at the Baldi Resort was particularly good. Bravo and Thank You to AyE tours for a wonderful four days.

Best introduction to Costa Rica! - This was my first time to the Central Coast and Costa Rica especially and Yanchy (guide) and Ronald (driver) were so incredible, I can't wait to come back. Communication was easy, friendly, organized, and the activities we did were amazing! We did hikes, saw wildlife, and when we requested extra time to do a coffee tour and zipline they accommodated and drove us place to place. It was great having knowledgeable guides, we truly felt taken care of the whole trip and I felt like I had a well-rounded introduction to CR. Thank you Yanchy and Ronald, can't wait to return!!

Wonderful - I just got back from Costa Rica and my son and I did this tour with A&E Tours. If I could give this tour 10 stars I would because 5 stars doesn't even come close. This was simply amazing. My experience began a few days before my trip when I communicated with the owner Yohann via Whatsapp. I let him know that I would not be staying at a hotel and asked if they could pick me up at a private home and he said it was not a problem. He took time to talk to me, never once rushing me and thoroughly answering every one of my questions. Then the day came for the trip, I was promptly picked up at the time I was told and that is where our adventure began. Every single place on the itinerary was outstanding and beautiful. The food we ate was excellent and the hotels where we slept, while not large chains, were great local hotels which allowed you to immerse yourself even more in the culture. I thought that our driver and guide would take us to the places that were on the itinerary only, but boy was I wrong. They made stops along the way, taking pictures wherever we wanted to, pointing out different things and even taking us out at night if we wanted. Kattia, our driver and Yancy, our guide were phenomenal. They are truly what made this trip extraordinary. They were fun, friendly, accommodating and lovely, lovely people. At Manuel Antonio, there was a hike that you could do if you wanted but I only had flip flops and Yancy gave me her shoes! She stayed and watched all our stuff while we were on the beach and Kattia always stayed with the luggage in the car. This is service that is above and beyond what I was expecting. I felt fortunate that they were with us on this trip. We met as strangers, became friends and felt like family by the end of the trip. This is a must do and take it from me, make sure Kattia and Yancy will be with you; you will absolutely not regret it. Run, do not walk to book this trip!

Awesome 3 days trip with A&E tour in Costa Rica - Our 1st booking was cancelled because the arenal route was closed but this company was willingly to replace Arenal volcano activity to Poas volcano and La Paz waterfall activity. They were very communicative via whatsapp and we were really having a good time the entire trip. Our Tour Guide, Yancy Ramirez, was really informative, helpful, and client-oriented. We were lucky to had her as our guide, she was very friendly, nice, and accomodating. She helped my boyfriend with getting lemon soda when he had upset stomach and we were able to get a "fast pass" and skip the line when we did zip lining activities. She is the best!! Will definitely book future trips with this company. Highly recommended!!

Good food and sightseeing, cheap accommodation - Our family reserved a three day and two nights tour with Viator, who contracted with AyE Tours Travel. It included three breakfasts and three lunches, which were mostly delicious food. On our first day, we had a good time at Arenal Volcano, and Baldi Hot Springs. We then had a three hour ride to Monteverde which was very winding and bumpy. one third of the road had numerous pot holes. Luckily, we had an experienced driver who knows the road well. On our 2nd day, after we finished walking suspension bridges. our guide Louie recommended our teenager boys do the Zipline. One of the boys was interested in doing Zipline. Louie also recommended that we do extra tours while waiting for the boy. Louie stated that there were three tours: butterfly garden, reptile, and sloth sanctuary. If we do all three, he could apply the butterfly garden credit towards three tours. Since one of the boy was going to do the Zipline with no time for any of the tour, so I asked whether Louie could apply his butterfly garden credit towards our tour. Louie stated that he had to ask his boss. After talking to his boss, he said to us that our tour does not include butterfly garden. We showed Louie our reservation. He did not budge. We ended up paying $120 to do the sloth sanctuary. Our last day, we were supposed to visit Parque national Manuel Antonio. But we were dropped off at a free public beach with no facilities at all. Louie told us that we could rent a shower afterwards. We did after spending time at the beach ($2 pp). The shower facility was very shabby. We did not go through a paid admission to enter the National Park. On our reservation, it clearly stated Entry/Admission for Butterfly garden at Selvatura Park and Playa Manuel Antonio. However, we did not get to do either. Therefore, I would like a refund for both places we did not visit and any extra expenses we had to pay related to that. Next I would like to comment on our two nights accommodation: the first night we stayed at Hotel Cipreses in Monteverde. We got a single full size bed in both rooms. In my room, there was not even one hanger. The towel was broken (see photo). The worst part was a non-functioning shower. The water did not come out from the shower head. It was cold and windy that night. I was shivering and I finally gave up showering that night and next morning. When I talked to our driver, Diego, during breakfast, he stated that he experienced similar problems with shower and he would let the hotel know. The 2nd night we stayed at Terraza Del Pacifico Hotel, which is an OK hotel. The shower worked, but there was only shampoo in the shower and a liquid soap bottle next to sink. Overall, we enjoyed all the tours we did. We were disappointed that we did not do the butterfly garden and Parque National Manuel Antonio. Diego is a very experienced driver and he was very attentive to us. Louie is a young guide who hiked with us and walked suspension bridges with us. He took take care of our admission tickets and hotel check ins. However, he needs to talk more to the customer especially introduce Costa Rica's history, resources, and etc. We appreciate their time with us and rewarded them with generous tips at the end.

Good places to visit - The most memorable part is the food, the places we visited: hot spring, volcano, and the suspension bridge.
