That sounds like such a wonderful experience!

It’s great that you and your friends had such a memorable time. Thanks for sharing your feedback!
It's a great way to get to see some countryside out of the SJO area. And the Waterfall Gardens are beautiful. This was a guided tour with Eric, our guide, and Roy our driver. We took this tour on a Saturday, so there were a few more people than expected, plus some extra traffic near the Gardens. There were some logistics to deal with, as we were switched to another van, but it was done at a very nice stop, food, drinks, souvenirs. We as a group decided to tour the wildlife sanctuary first. Eric was very knowledgeable about the program, and how it worked. Lunch was next, and it rated 5 stars as well. Fresh, selections were very good, and a very nice setting. We then did the Waterfalls, and they were beautiful. See pics. Note, there are stairs involved and to see all 5 falls there is some walking involved, and stair climbing. Be in decent shape to do all 5. We did 2!
We’re glad you enjoyed the countryside, the beautiful Waterfall Gardens, and the wildlife sanctuary. It’s wonderful to hear that Eric’s knowledge and Roy’s driving helped make the day smooth and enjoyable. We appreciate your understanding with the Saturday crowds and logistics, and we’re happy the stop and lunch were highlights of the experience. Thank you as well for sharing the helpful tip about the stairs at the waterfalls. We hope to welcome you back to Costa Rica again soon!
A good day out from San Jose. The trip involves passing through countryside and coffee plantations and local villages. La Paz has a large variety of Nature exhibits and several impressive waterfalls but viewing them involves quite a lot of steps up and down

Very disappointed in this tour. Pickup was at 10:30, which was fine. The bus drove to a location with an ok view and a store and said we would be there for 30 minutes. Then back on the bus and to another store for another 30 minutes. Driver spoke no English so no one knew what was going on. I txted the operator and they said it was a bus transfer. Then we actually got to the gardens, which was really nice. Then, back on the bus and back to one of the stores we had already been at, for just 20 minutes this time. And back to the hotel at 7:30. If this tour had disclosed the 3 shopping stops and the late return I would not have chosen it. I chose it because it said it was a 6-7 hour tour starting at 10:30. I missed a 6:00 dinner planned with a group tour. Again, the gardens are nice, but unless you have lots of time and like to shop, choose another tour. Our hotel offered one that would have been better. had the description been accurate I would not have chosen it.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we sincerely appreciate you highlighting these points. First and foremost, we apologize for the frustration caused by the itinerary and timing. We understand how disappointing it is when a tour’s structure and return time differ from what was originally described—especially when it impacts personal plans like a scheduled dinner. Your time is valuable, and we regret that this was not respected as it should have been. You are absolutely right that the tour description should clearly disclose all components of the experience, including shopping or rest stops and the approximate return time. Your comments have been taken very seriously, and we are already reviewing the tour listing to ensure the information is clearer, more transparent, and aligned with the actual itinerary so future guests can make fully informed decisions. We’re also sorry for the lack of communication during the transfers. Even when a tour includes logistical stops or shared transportation, guests should always feel informed and comfortable about what is happening. This is an area where we know we must improve, and your feedback helps us do exactly that. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the gardens themselves, as they are truly a beautiful highlight of the experience. However, we completely understand that the overall structure was not what you were looking for, and we regret that it led to disappointment. Thank you again for your honesty. Feedback like yours is essential for us to improve our services, descriptions, and guest communication. We truly hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in the future with an experience that better matches your expectations.
The actual waterfall gardens were great lots of lovely animals and wildlife. However this is advertised as a full day tour which only true in some aspects and for all the wrong reasons. I was picked up at 10:30, we stopped off a a shop around 12:30 which was fine and was good for buying souvenirs. However when we left there we were about 20 mins away from the falls yet we pulled over again a few minutes later. The driver then told us we had to wait 10 minutes for another bus with more people on to take us the rest of the journey. 10 minutes turned into 45 and we didn’t arrive at the gardens until 14:00. At this point we had been faffing about for over 3 hours and no one had eaten as lunch was supposed to be included. The actual gardens are lovely and I would recommend you go here just not with the tour group. We didn’t eat until 15:00 due to the lunch being halfway through the tour of the gardens. 3 hours is enough to see all the gardens and waterfalls and eat lunch so that was fine. We left about 17:00 but didn’t get back to the hotel until 19:30 as we were made to stop at the same shop we had already been to in the morning due to the other people on the second bus having not been there before. So ultimately what was advertised as a 6 hour tour with 3 hours of actual tour turned into sitting on a bus/coach for 6 hours then 3 at the actual garden, including lunch. Not worth the money and faff, just uber it there and buy your own ticket, if you’re with a group then it will probably be cheaper than a tour anyway and you don’t need the tour guides anyway even though they were nice people if you can read a sign (everything is labelled in the park). You don’t need them. I wish I could get my money back.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your understanding. As this is a regular shared tour, minor delays may occasionally occur; however, our priority is always to ensure that the time spent at each location is respected so our guests can fully enjoy the experience. The times provided are approximate, as external factors such as traffic can affect the schedule.
