5 Star Tour - My family just returned from a weeklong trip to Costa Rica. We can't speak highly enough about our experience on this tour. From the rainforest/waterfall, to the sloth sanctuary, and the coffee and chocolate plantation, as well as a traditional Costa Rican lunch, each part of this excursion was top notch. We travelled with our two children (ages 11 and 9) and they loved every part of the experience. Our guide Esteban was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and went out of his way to make the experience memorable for our family. We highly recommend this tour and on our next trip we will look to this company to book another tour.

Delicious experience - The hike to the waterfall was absolutely gorgeous. We loved the sloths and saw a baby high up in a tree as well as toucans and frogs and so many wonderful animals. The coffee and chocolate tour was really cool too and delicious!

Excellent Trip & tour guide!!! Highly recommended. - This is our family's first time in Costa Rica and our first 'Adventure'. Jose was our tour guide and Hernan our driver. What an AMAZING time the family and I had on this trip with Jose sharing his extensive knowledge of the forest life, plants, and seeing Toucan birds, poisonous snakes and red-eye, and blue jean frogs (some poisonous as well) - all before getting to the highlight of seeing the Sloths and the treat of a Baby Sloth. Waterfall was beautiful and coffee / cocoa tour was excellent as well. Stop for Costa Rica's traditional Casado lunch and natural fruit drinks. We had an excellent time, plenty of sights (I forgot we also saw a few monkeys), pic and family memories that will last a lifetime. I would do a tour with Jose and Hernan again and highly recommend them... Pura Vida!

Friends celebrating a 40th! - We decided on this tour because of the numerous activities and sights for a group of 10 friends celebrating my 40th birthday and had an amazing experience! Daniel was a knowledgeable and friendly guide and made sure to take time to explain things. The transfer bus picked us up at our rental house and the drive was 3 hours but Daniel spent a lot of time talking about the CR history and biodiversity. Daniel made this extra special and even went out of his way to have a birthday cake and wine as a surprise for my 40th. I would recommend this tour day to anyone. 10 out of 10!

Great day in Guanacaste! - We had a great day traveling to Rio Celeste and the Sloth Sanctuary. Estaban was knowledgeable, helpful and answered all of our questions. On the hike to Rio Celeste Esteban pointed out different plants and animals along the way. Leaf-cutter ants and a viper were highlights! We only had time for the sloth sanctuary, but it was a must visit. During our time there we saw several sloths, including a baby sloth, and frogs to name a few. Overall a great day and experience. 100% recommend!

Agencia 506 and Don José, incredible experience. - The experience is simply magnificent, beyond the beauty of the place and the perfect climate; What takes the cake was the tremendous professionalism, customer service and experience provided by Don José, a guide and nature expert who is on another level. I would recommend everyone to use their services and without a doubt in a couple of years I will return to request their services again.
