Learning about the Costa Rica culture and interacting with Costa Ricans warms my heart – I met nothing but good hearted, genuine, people and this tour was a prime example of that – from the tour guide to the folks we met along the way. A nice way to get acclimated to the city.

Josef lead us. Stopped for breakfast . Saw dolphins. Clean beach. Good snorkeling. They made it fun. Hike is not easy on a hot day. Bring $20-30 to enjoy optional items at the beach.

Reviews: Irazú Volcano, Orosi Valley & Lankester Gardens from San José
A***82025-04-24
I enjoyed our tour guide Martin, who knew so much about volcanos, history, and Costa Rican culture. He was a delight! Overall the bus trip up the volcano offered incredible views of the countryside. The higher up you go, be prepared for weather changes. It was freezing and wet because you are literally in the clouds. This can impact visibility so binoculars may be of help. If you feel slightly dizzy once you arrive you can opt to get coffee, treats, or souvenirs from a nearby shop. We were given several opportunities to take photographs of one of the oldest basilicas in CR. The Lankester Gardens is an incredible place with so many species of native and thriving plants that can't be found anywhere else. We only spent about an hour here, but it is worth another visit. Incredible pictures here too. We finished the tour with lunch at a restaurant along a river with more incredible views. Look up in the trees to find a character of a bird among multiple drooping nests. Epic day especially if weather permits!

Reviews: San Jose: Bites and Sights Walking Food Tour including Markets

This was a great way to try local and seasonal fruits and ice cream while visiting the markets. Our guide Oscar was very informative and kept the pace casual. I really enjoyed the time we spent at Mr. Sloth Cafe trying and making the different foods, then the demonstration by Eric of the coffee making process.

Reviews: Wildlife Refuge La Paz Waterfall Gardens Day Trip from San Jose
H***72024-03-06
La Paz Waterfall and wildlife adventure was the highlight of my trip to Costa Rica. What a beautiful property. Set in the jungle, LA Paz waterfalls are stunning in their beauty and grandor. And, the animals in sanctuary are excellently cared for. What a wonderful property. (Lots of stairs to see the waterfalls, but you can bypass them.)

What a great experience going on coffee, chocolate and sugar cane tour with Brandon. So friendly and patient. Brandon is a great tour guide and he made this an amazing experience for us and our children aged 8 and 6. This was a lot of fun and we greatly recommend this tour.
