    Olman is an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable guide, and also an excellent driver! Our group was only 3 people, so it was definitely an intimate setting. Make sure to pack a raincoat as you might need it later in the day! The Poas Volcano, animal sanctuary, and La Paz Waterfalls were all excellent. Lunch was average in my opinion, however. Would definitely recommend this day trip if you're staying in San Jose!

    This was fabulous. Angel was our guide and was deeply knowledgeable about not only Costa Rican food and customs but also the history of the country and all of the different populations that have lived and mixed here to create local food customs and flavors. He took ample time to explain things and to answer our questions. We took our 19-year-old grandson, and he had a great time too. Angel indulged our desire to practice our Spanish sometimes. Our group included people from the UK, USA, Canada and Germany. Great food samplings included idles of local fruit and juice, ceviche, warm yummies—after tamales, we all cooked our own empanadas at the end—and a wonderful coffee tasting from Mr. Sloth’s Coffee. Well done, everyone!

    To experience local life in San José, this is a MUST try!
    “Baptized” with local ice cream, store that sells superstitious stuff, coffee cocktail and home cooking style dinner, and the fun people in the group……I enjoyed every piece details and moments of it! This is absolutely the highlight of my trip!

    What an amazing tour! Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. The group wasn’t too big so it felt more personal which was fantastic. We learned so much about Costa Rican history and finished the night with an amazing meal!

    We booked our tour very last minute (the evening before the tour) and were really happy with the service. We were collected by our driver/tour guide from our hotel in the morning and found that we were the only 2 on the tour and had the minibus to ourselves! The coffee tour was great, the tour guide was fantastic and it was a beautiful plantation and we learnt a lot. We then visited Poas volcano and even though it was cloudy on and off we did get a great view of the volcanos central crater lake and we're able to spend a good amount of time there, we didn't get much information about the volcano, ecology or landscape from our guide but found out information online. The waterfall visit was beautiful and the lunch that followed incredible....the food was local and fantastic and the surroundings of forest, views of a waterfall and wild hummingbirds zipping around our heads was a real highlight! We could then have visited another coffee plantation on the way back to our hotel but chose not to as we had both been unwell the week before and we're feeling very tired by this point. A good value for money tour, seeing a lot of different sites, experiencing different aspects of Costa Rica in one day with not too much journey time and an excellent safe driver!

    The tour guide was fantastic with a lot of personality! Both in your and chocolate demo. I would recommend leaving time if you can to take the trails along the rainforest. Highly recommend the trip

    Tour is must do if you want to see San Jose night life and meet cool people (hope you will be lucky as I was).
    Pedro was a great guide and everything were planned nicely. Tour is the good fit if you are solo o couple traveling as you can meet other travellers, want to be secure and not lost in majority of places or in the crowd of partying local people.
    Beers and shots were good quality and taste.

    Had a fun time at the coffee tour. It was very informative and we got to taste different coffees. We enjoyed walking around and visiting the butterfly garden.

    Very enjoyable as my daughter and I got an understanding of the local culture and food. Enjoyed the fruit tasting and making plaintain empanadas. We ended it with amazing Costa Rican coffee.

    We went on this tour as part of a larger tour of CR. The included buffet lunch was very tasty and they were very strict with COVID measures. The tour included a short video and coffee tasting demonstration. The tour guide was very informative and funny. We also walked though a portion of the coffee plants to see the forest like set-up in which they are grown. It was pouring rain but we were still able to get all parts of the tour in. Lots of coffee to purchase at the gift shop and they will ship coffee and chocolate purchases over $30 at no charge.

    We wanted to get a sense of San Jose while being active and really got that. Paul was our guide, he was very friendly and knowledgeable. Stopping along the way, giving us information about the buildings, architecture, and history of the neighborhoods. Towards the end of the tour we stopped for empanadas and then coffee at two wonderful and unique spots. We truly enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend.

    If you are looking for a “budget friendly tour” and have a short time to spend in Costa Rica, then you should take this tour.
    Don Ricardo was very kind, patient, and fun, besides he is a great driver.
    I enjoy shopping souvenirs in Sarchi, as well as spending time in the butterfly garden at Doka coffee farm. The grounds in the coffee farm are lovely!

    We enjoyed this experience very much! The views and attention to detail of the tour guides was exceptional. My only suggestion is to advertise a more realistic time frame. The tour time was listed as 9 hrs which includes travel so we only rafted for about a total of 3 hrs without travel. We were expecting at least 5-6hrs of rafting with a break in between.

    It was a long day on the boat and bus. It was fun and a good start to the trip but I think you can do better for a full day in Costa Rica.
