Fun day zip lining and culture - Katherine and Gigi were the best!!! They went above and beyond. We got a histroy and culture lesson throughout the towns. We stopped at a gift shop, learned about different seed, plants and the health benefits, hiked in the jungle, went zip lining (9 stations total!), walked across 3 hanging bridges, stopped again for best prices on the best coffee, and I never felt rushed! They made us feel welcomed and they felt like family. I would recommend Katherine and Gigi and I look forward to coming back with more family members so we can all do this tour together!

Best Tour Guides - Welcome Back for the First Time! - This trip was SPECTACULAR!! Katherine and Gigi ( affectionately called uncle Gigi by the middle of our tour) were more than wonderful. They instantly turned this tour into something that felt familial. I many times felt like I was being shown around the country from a distant cousin.
Katherine and Gigi personalized the trip in so many ways. I and my sisters are considering moving to Costa Rica.

Absolutely book this tour, and ask for Cristian! - As a TA who both books and takes many tours, the day we spent with Cristian (and Roberto behind the wheel) was one of the single best experiences that I've had traveling. From the moment we found Cristian waiting for us in the port with a huge smile, to the time we parted, I felt like we were spending the day exploring with old friends.
With only one day in port, we had a tough time deciding what to do. Some of us wanted to go ziplining. One of our party was most concerned with seeing wildlife and nature. ALL of us love to sample local foods. We got all of this and so much more! Cristian accompanied us on all of our activities, and we were taken great care of by everyone else we encountered throughout the day as well. His enthusiasm shone through while sharing the natural beauty of Costa Rica with us, and he is such a wealth of information. I truly could not have imagined a better experience, and our day in Costa Rica was so much more than we had hoped for!
We are very much looking forward to planning a trip back to Costa Rica, and will absolutely be looking to spend more time with Cristian as our guide!

Volcano/Waterfall park - The private tour was awesome especially since it was just 2 of us. Our guide Johan was very friendly and knowledgeable and our driver Edgar was very nice.
We were able to spend a lot of time at each stop and even make a pit stop for snacks and souvenirs.
Johan was a very good and patient photographer.
I would do this tour again.
