I highly recommend this tour to all people who want to have a day of adventure among animals and waterfalls and who like or want to know about coffee, the guide Roy was excellent!!
The Eco tour was dreamy and extremely beneficial! It is incredible how they managed to take us to see three beautiful places in a single day without making us feel rushed. Everything was perfectly organized, including the food, as we enjoyed a delicious buffet for breakfast and lunch. Roy was an exceptional guide, his knowledge and attention exceeded all our expectations. A wonderful experience!
An incredible experience, it is definitely worth doing this tour. I highly recommend it. Guide Roy is excellent at what he does; may God continue to bless him and allow him to keep serving with the passion and care with which he works.

Roi has been a wonderful guide! Super recommended!!
This tour was AMAZING! Best way for us to spend our day. Our guide Alan was welcoming and showed us so many amazing gems! Willy Tours took care of everything, including breakfast/lunch and some fun samples we got to try on our pit stop. We had a nice small group and did so much in one day! Although it was cloudy to see the crater, we still got to see so much and learn more about beautiful Costa Rica.
Allen was our tour guide and we had the best day! We had so many fun moments and he made sure that we made the most of your day! Would highly recommend the tour.
It was a very pleasant, interesting, fun and very learning ride. The cheerful, pleasant and prepared Walbert guide surprised me by his ability to find the different types of species observed and the extensive information he gave us. Just wonderful.!
