Highlight of the trip! - This was the highlight of my visit to Costa Rica. The tour guide was extremely knowledgable, and was able to give the tour simultaneously in English and Spanish (!!). Even though we had poor weather at the top of the Irazú volcano, we learned a lot about the history and geology making it an incredible experience despite getting soaked!

Volcano and much more - Our guide, José was excellent. The weather didn't cooperate so we didn't see the crater, but did walk around the top. He gave us suggestions of what to order at the little cafe as well. Since we didn't get to see the crater, he took us back on a slightly different route that let us see more countryside. He also stopped at a famous empanada shop so that we could order some. His English was excellent so we all learned a lot about the country and culture!

Great experience at 12 thousand feet! - We took the half day tour and it was perfect for us. It was an very early start by our standards (630 AM) but it was worth it, and we were back on our own by noon. Great. Daniel and David were our guide and driver, and they were great. Daniel spoke English very well, was very knowledgeable, kept us engaged and was a very nice guy. David drove the bus steady and safe up the winding roads to Irazu. They even took us off the beaten path to show us another crater that wasn't even listed in the description. Great photos! Irazu' was stunning and worth the trek up there (which also had stunning views and we were lucky we had such perfect weather and could see everything. Spent an hour up there walking around taking it all in. Then we went to Cartago to see the Basilica of Los Angeles church and that was really great as well. 5 stars for these guys!

Celebrating my niece becoming a nurse - The views were breathtaking we stopped at a little shop before heading to the volcano Climbing the steep hills through the mountains were an amazing sight to see.I enjoyed every minute just being up above the clouds seeing the villages and live stock.there's also a gift shop near the volcano stop, you'll need a light jacket.we also got off the bus to visit mercado market

Beautiful experience - Host and driver were skilled! Host was knowledgeable and fun! Beautiful views through and through! :)

A bit short - Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, the driver safe, the vehicle was clean and comfortable, it just needed a new tyre it was a short trip, it would have been nice to have had a little longer so we could walk to the highest point or even if they could amend the trip so they drive up there first for 10-15 minutes then down to the crater as there didn't seem enough time to do both I have been to Irazú before and was fortunate to have seen the turquoise lake but some on the trip were disappointed expecting to see it on this trip but it is not there all year around, I went not expecting to see it but thinking if I did it would be a bonus (I saw in June before)

Review - Unfortunately it was a cloudy day. So we couldn’t see much. But no one can’t do anything about that! The tourguide did a good job and already in the car to the vulcano he told a lot about the surroundings and later also at the vulcano and at the Cartago Church. But I do think that the tour is a bit expence. Because i was picked up at 7:30 and back at the hostel at 13:00.

The trip itself was nice... - The trip itself was nice and our guide was great but the price for such a trip was really overrated and I wouldnt go for that for such a lot of money next time. Also the volcan was without water as it was not raining before which of course nobody can influence. Just that it was not as on the picture attached to the trip offer.

Ok… - -Nice view over the Clouds -sadly Not enough time to walk around at the craters -Guide told some informations in the bus but only basics - of you have a rental car, Go by yourself

Okay views are what makes it - Honestly this tour was really nice in the beginning I have to say that you know going up the volcano and the small hike was actually nice. I guess my only issue that I had was that I felt like our guide was trying to put us in places where he was making a commission out of us so that in itself is what kind of bothered me a bit but I guess it's part of what some tour guides do but otherwise you know what I would recommend this trip just you know be aware that you're going to probably be stopped at some places to go buy things and told hey buy this buy that it's nothing you don't mind the suggestion it just felt like it was kind of forced sometimes and even some of the prices of where we went were ridiculously high. For example we went to a restaurant to get some coffee and some hot chocolate two hot chocolates and a piece of cornmeal with some cheese on it and it'll cost me over $22 which I thought was a lot considering at the hot chocolate wasn't something that was gourmet you could you can tell that it was like either powdered or something but anyway otherwise the view are makes it the only thing that makes it worth it I would improve on this part you know not just taking your people to places where they can spend money and trying to talk them into buying stuff that and honestly was like price maybe four times the price where it shouldn't be just saying.
