What people love about Costa Rica Tours from San Jose
- Costa Rica Experience
This was an excellent trip, Edgar the tour guide was very knowledgeable of the area and helped with the wildlife spotting and made the transfers entertaining. This tour is lower cost than other tours in Costa Rica so you get a lot of optional activities. We found that the quality of the options was excellent and you have a real choice of what to do including zip lining, coffee tours, hanging bridges tours, volcanic hot springs etc. Edgar made this work really well everything was slick even when the group split up to do different activities and then we'd always have dinner arranged at a nice place to re-group in the evening. Definitely recommended.
- Classic Costa Rica
Great trip with a lot of optional activities . Ziplining in Monteverde excellent value for $, Extensive food options and great wildlife! Additional fees for guides for included activities was an expected cost.
- Costa Rica: Volcanoes, Cloud Forests & Zip-Lines
Great experience, the only parts I'd criticize were that the group was too big (more than 20 people), which made it hard to get to know everyone (the fact that the Whatsapp group wasn't created as soon as the tour began didn't help), and that the schedule was too tight and made some combinations of activities impossible, one more day would have made things easier.
