Miguel the Tour Guide was amazing. He was so knowledgeable about all the animals in the Rescue Center. It was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica! We also noticed that visitors to the Rescue Center that didn't have a guide like Miguel were following us and listening to him - he was just so knowledgeable about all of the animals and talked about them in such an entertaining way. You should do this tour!!!
From the price and description, my expectations were pretty high. Overall, it was a great! We didn’t see beaches or get our pictures taken so that was a huge bummer after looking at pics on other reviews. But I’m still thankful for our own unique experience that no one else will get. Our guide Alex knew everything about everything and is an incredible human. We stopped at a convenience store and had the most amazing snack I’ll ever eat in my life: pasteles. The Diamante Eco park is underwhelming but beautiful. We stopped at a local bar, our bodies coated in dirt, and enjoyed every minute of it!
We had the time of our life on this trip! Our tour guide was Eddie and he was absolutely awesome! Super fun and knowledgeable and definitely got us feeling the pura vida lifestyle! Would definitely recommend!
Miller was fantastic. On time, friendly, knowledgeable and provided a great tour. Saw monkeys, snakes, and wildlife…. My kids enjoyed riding over the rough terrain and telling stories of this activity. Would definitely do it again.
We had a fantastic time with Eddie. He was very knowledgeable at the sloth refugee. The buggy ride was a blast. He asked what we wanted and really listened to us.
We had an amazing time. Our guide Eddie was one of the best tour guides we have ever had! The buggy and trails were perfect, as well as the local fresh fruit that we ate for a rest stop. I highly recommend and ask for Ready Eddie!!!
Guide Alex spotted monkeys/stopped at local spots & was perfect guide. See & experience the local culture. It was perfect! Best guide! 100% recommend!
Alex was beyond amazing. He took us to a local waterfall and swimming hall for a refreshing dip during our tour. He showed us the culture by sampling some Vino de Coyol and topped it off with a beer at his local bar, where his wonderful friends taught me to play dominoes. it was one of the most hospitable experiences we have ever had. I feel so grateful to have met all these wonderful people and the awesome tour experience.
We had an amazing time. Our guide, Miller, was wonderful. He was full of information, super friendly and provided us with a fabulous adventure and tons of information about this beautiful country
