One of the best choices of my life! - I want to tell you that this is one of the best tours I took in Costa Rica, the price is very affordable and there are really three attractions that are highly sought after. First is the La Fortuna Waterfall, really super impressive, and the best thing is that you can swim in the place, the water is super fresh and somehow rejuvenates you. The second attraction is the hanging bridges, in this place you get one of the best views of the Arenal Volcano, the place really allows for unique photos, and you can also see hundreds of animals and birds in addition to the vegetation, it is impressive how you can walk through the treetops on these bridges, you walk on or in the middle of the mountain. Finally, there is lunch and the hot springs. This lunch is delicious and is pre-ordered so when you arrive it is already ready. This gives you plenty of time to enjoy the natural hot springs pools, which have an incredible relaxing and healing power. I think it is the best way to end a day of adventure. I highly recommend it, don't hesitate, it is an excellent tour and you will enjoy it very much.

Hot springs & rain forest - Lenny was amazing! For breakfast we got to feed the rain forest birds plantain and capture beautiful photos. Then we went to the waterfall and swam. After that we went to the hanging bridges. Along the walk our tour guide told us all about the wildlife. The hot springs were fr best. You can choose from 5 different pools with various temperatures. My favorite part was the water slides at the resort. Lunch was amazing as well.

Best tour we did by far - This tour was my favorite of the 4 day-trip tours we did. Our tour guide Hayro was incredible. He was very knowledgeable and eager to share. I saw so much wildlife and learned a ton about Costa Rica, from nature to culture to politics to tourism. I got to swim in the La Fortuna Waterfall (after walking down 523 stairs!), then received the most informative tour of the hanging bridges park. Hayro was able to call birds and frogs over for us to see, showed us close ups on his telescope, and provide insider information that other tourists weren't able to get. We then enjoyed some time in the mineral spas, which was very relaxing after the hiking. Bonus at the end when the clouds cleared and we got a perfect view of the Arenal Volcano from the hot springs. I hope to receive another tour from Hayro on a future trip to Costa Rica!

One of the best tours in Costa Rica!!!!! - I was visiting with my best friend in Costa Rica, I must tell you that this country can simply be described as magnificent. They have so many things that show that one really spends more time on vacation. Our guide was super special, she showed so many things and animals that the entire trip was super entertaining. The hanging bridges have the best view of the Arenal volcano and you can see a number of impressive animals, we saw monkeys, snakes, birds, in short everything. The waterfall of fortune is beautiful, it is a little tiring but it is worth it. To end the day in the hot springs is relaxing. This tour is very well designed and worth every dollar you pay.

Best Private Costa Rica Tour - Lenny was truly a fantastic guide. She is super knowledgeable of Costa Rica and it shows through her tours. The was never a dull moment even during the 2 hour drive we took to La Fortuna as she incorporates facts about the country/town by pointing things out along the way. She was patient and kind and allowed us to experience everything. I highly recommend booking this tour, you won’t regret it.
