Outstanding tour of the Doka Plantation and La Paz Waterfall Gardens. Pickup by our guide Arturo in a nice clean comfortable vehicle. Arturo so professional and knowledgeable. First stop Doka Estate, for a simple local breakfast. We received an interesting coffee tour from start to finish. Just enough info not to overwhelm us. Next up La Paz. Again, so much to see and tour. Fantastic extensive lunch buffet was served. Ample restroom breaks, much appreciated. First class tour company. Recommend

21-Feb-2023
We did "EXOTIC LANDSCAPES OF COSTA RICA" 9 nights tour. Tour agent Oldemar was amazing. He customized this tour to meet our needs. Definitely would recommend this company for multi days tours and specifically working with Oldemar. Communication and different activities coordination was pretty smooth. On the top of that Oldemar included new year dinner/party for us in the hotel we were staying without any charge. In this tour we did multiple activities (rafting, volcano hike, night walk in forest, zip lining in Monteverde, Manuel antonio park hike, kayaking, catamaran, Poas volcano, LA Paez garden). Keep in mind some of these activities were optional. We paid extra but definitely worth every penny. Hotels arranged by Oldemar were great specially in Monteverde (cloud forest view). Thanks Oldemar for making our trip memorable and enjoyable. You are awesome! Definitely will use your service again. Pura Vida!

Loved our excursion with Oscar. We had expected a group bus tour but were ecstatic that it was a private trip. He was very informative and we learned a lot about the country that will be a forever take away. Oscar is warm, personable, and the dinner provided topped it off for the evening. You’ll be in good hands!!! Thanks again Oscar!!!

03-Mar-2024
Had the worst experience while in Costa Rica with this travel agency. I highly recommend any other company over this one as we had no problem with anyone else. They use Viator as a third party to book their tours and the website description is completely off. And it seems everyone who leave a review had a different experience. I cannot recommend this agency as they will rip you off and not give you close to half of your money back.
