    Great service from alex blanco and i appreciate him making us safe wirh those crazy cliffs on the edge going up the mountain. I also would like to thank the zip line crew for making sure i was ok even after being stuck 3 times do to my own faults lol... overall i love it

    Okay ! Honest opinion from an unbiased reviewer lol. This trip was definitely an adventure!! We were picked up from a hotel at 6:30am and headed to the rainforest. We stopped a few times for sightseeing along the way. The drive was LONG. Super long. Luckily we were traveling with some funny people that kept it entertaining. We stopped in a tree house for a snack and saw some toucans. We stopped for lunch, drove by the volcano so you didn’t really stop and get to see it but we really didn’t care. We were pretty much ready to get to the rainforest. Zip lining was great but be mindful the rainforest is extremely unpredictable so BRING A CHANGE OF CLOTHES!!!! and walking shoes !!! Preferably hiking shoes. It was POURING raining when my group zip lined and there was mud everywhere on the line but that was fine. It made it more of a Costa Rican rainforest adventure I guess you can say. After this we headed to the thermal spa which was in my opinion the highlight of the trip as there was a bar in the water and we got to clean up in the showers. After this we headed to dinner which was a 2 hour drive. After we ate we had another hour and half drive back to our hotels. All in all I would definitely recommend this trip if you have a FULL day open. We left at 6:30a from our hotels and returned around 10pm! So it was a LONG long day ! Great guide though!

    An outstanding day of activities led by our awesome guide, Henan Sandi! Though it started early in the day, he was energized and ready to take our small group of 7 on the adventure. The schedule as advertised was pretty accurate though, as a local resident, Hernan was able to add some personal touches and stops that made it even better. The pace was excellent and we never felt rushed to get through anything.

    Naturally, all of these tours take you to places where you're given opportunities to purchase items from the vendors but we never felt pressured to do so. He was very generous in providing samples of foods and drinks as we went along. Meals were individualized with each participant having a variety to choose from to accommodate their personal taste.

    We consider the experience well worth the value of the price. From the tours, ziplines, and the hot-springs spa, there is no way we could have done it all on our own as economically. (NOTE: Don't forget to bring your bathing suit to fully enjoy the spa!)

    This was the most expensive excursion my friend and I did while in Costa Rica, but it was worth every penny! Our guide, Herman, was so knowledgable and kind. On the way up to La Fortuna, we stopped to try coffee, sweet water, and cheese tortillas--not to be confused with cheese quesadillas! We also stopped at lookout points, at waterfalls, and to see iguanas! Once in La Fortuna, we went ziplining and to the hot springs. Unfortunately, the zip-lining tour was ended halfway through due to extreme lightening. The tour will still go in rain, but lightening is too dangerous. But, the cold rain just made the hot springs all the more enjoyable afterwards! We got to spend ~2 hours relaxing there, sipping delicious piña coladas--you *must* try one!--and looking out at Arenal Volcano.

    Although we did a ton on the trip, we never felt rushed or hurried. Herman was incredibly patient, allowing us to truly enjoy and soak in each location that we stopped at. We signed up for the tour in English, but he also took the time to do the tour in Spanish, as we told him we were trying to learn and improve in the language. Beyond the planned tour, it was clear that he is very knowledgable and passionate about the environment, and he was able to explain a lot about the unique ecosystems of Costa Rica to us.

    Overall, this tour is wonderful. The drive is beautiful, the ziplining is incredible, and the hot springs are so relaxing. This is a great way to get out of San José for a day, and it's the perfect mix of adventure and R and R!

    We had awesome weather which was lucky during rainy season. The DOKU coffee stop was beautiful but no info on coffee plantation. OK lunch but eaten just before zip lining- not a good combo- should have
    zip lined before heavy lunch. Also our guide Hernan- seemed to be doing his personal errands- we stopped at the bank, he bought bananas and pineapples at stops that were not tour stops. The tour was still awesome because Costa Rica is awesome! Guide had no information on areas we were seeing.

    Juan Manuel was fantastic. Great English skills and very easy to understand. He was extremely informative throughout our journey with interesting details and impressive command of facts/dates of Costa Rican history, sprinkled with some humor. He was informative but not overly intrusive during the long drives, allowing you time to rest and nap, if you prefer.

    We were lucky as we spotted several sloths along the way (Juan was fantastic at this), as well as our travel companion Rolandito Cubano. The weather was good and we were able to see all of Arenal volcano and two of the waterfalls fully, as the fog dissapated for a bit. Wrapping up the day at the resort hot springs was great and the two hours they provided was just right, more than adequate time. Lunch and dinner at local roadside Sodas were authentic and quite tasty.

    Do yourself a favor: BOOK THIS TRIP AND REQUEST JUAN (And don't get him started on Uber's world domination) ;-)

    The tour started a bit late due to the infamous Costa Rica traffic. Our driver, Juan did a good job keeping in touch with us and soon we were on our way. The "Full Day" excursion had several stops that made it enjoyable. Our favorites were the coffee tasting, zip lining and the hot spas. Juan did a great job of navigation around the traffic and gave us some interesting facts along the way. Be prepared for a long day due to the long traffic jams along the way from one experience to the other. My wife and I did thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone who is crunched for time in Costa Rica and is willing to cram in as many things in one day to see it all. Thank you Juan for your great hospitality and great driving!

    JuanManuel was our guide very informative, very respectful, patient, overall very sincere. He also explained everything in English pretty well where my son understood everything. The van that picked us very clean, all seat belts worked, air conditioning. We did have time limits to our stops so we could get to all our destinations on time. But had enough time to take pictures and bathroom breaks. All food was excellent, large portions served. I would highly recommend this tour!
