Convo Tour by hand dev Mauritius - Excellent experience at the hands of our guide Mauricio. Very grateful for all your explanations of the coffee process from collection to packaging. After passing through the Poas volcano, where we were able to see its crater perfectly, we were in the protected animal refuge and it was a spectacular experience surrounded by this magnificent fauna. Thank you Mauricio for all the photos you took of us and your energy and for all the local people you introduced us to. We put our Sloth Mauricio in your memory :)) PURA VIDA Adam and Noah

A Great Day in Paradise! - I recently took this tour (11/12/21) and had a great day! Our tour guide, Donald, and his driver, Adrien, were wonderful and fully knowledgeable regarding the Daka coffee tour, the Poas volcano and La Paz Waterfall Garden. Make sure to wear a good pair of sneakers or hiking boots as there is quite a bit of walking, both along trails and up and down stairs. By the time we were done, we had walked almost 5 miles and the number of stairs was equal to about 42 stories! There was a gentleman who had a broken foot, and he was able to maneuver everywhere, so don't let those numbers deter you from taking this tour. I enjoyed the day immensely. It was a great day with a great guide and driver! Our tour bus was clean and in great condition. If you find yourself in Costa Rica and want to take a tour that has a little bit of the best things of this beautiful country and of the very friendly and accommodating people, you will have a wonderful experience on this tour!
