The purchase of your tour only covers the tour guide. You still have to pay for entry to the parks and food. If you go in busy season go an hour early. We were an hour late to our tours and as a result we didn’t get to go to the waterfalls at all, because by the time we did the hanging bridges and volcano, and lunch, the water fall was closed. We paid for a part of the trip that we did not get to do. I did not feel that there was transparency with the company when I purchased the tickets and the tour guide wasn’t organized enough to get us to all our activities on time. It was disappointing. I will say that our tour guide was very kind and knowledgeable, however we didn’t get the whole experience, therefore I felt slighted because I paid for all three tours.
Hi Julie. The tour start time and location are very specific. If you arrive late, that's not the guide's fault. You must arrive at the tour time and location. The tour is designed for people who want to hire a private guide. Entrance fees are not included at any point. If they were, the price would be very, very different. Swimming at the waterfall may not be allowed due to rain for obvious safety reasons.
This private tour offered us the opportunity to experience several cool things in one day. We loved the beauty of nature and excitement of hanging bridges, the awe-inspiring view of Arenal volcano, and the thundering power of Fortuna waterfall. Our guide, Jason, was absolutely the best - knowledgeable, personable, thoughtful and just a delight. He made the tour so enjoyable, and with his "eagle eyes" spotted numerous snakes, frogs, etc. during the walks we never would have otherwise seen. He was well-versed on all the flora and fauna, and did excellent bird call imitations. He definitely made the day more enjoyable and informative.
Alexander was amazing. The ability to pivot and change based on what nature was doing was great we were able to see, learn, and experience cosa rica through the lens it deserves. Such an amazing experience and having a guide is so much better than going it alone.
Book this tour! We had a spectacular day with Francisco! He was so knowledgeable about all of the animals and plants we encountered and you can tell he really enjoys teaching . We were a group of 4 adults and 3 kids (8, 10, and 12) and we all absolutely loved it. I would 100% recommend Francisco and this tour- you will not regret it!
Our guide Eduardo was fantastic! He found a sloth in the first 10mins of setting off. He tailored the day to us and was so knowledgeable. We were lucky to see sloths, monkeys, toucan, frogs and more. He was the best guide we had in Costa Rica (we had two others-different areas and companies). Thank you for a really amazing experience
We had an amazing guide Alex who was the best we had in Costa Rica. He was passionate , warm and so helpful. He was also amazing at finding the wildlife including some magical time with a red eyed tree frog. He couldn't do enough for us. I can not recommend him highly enough
Great Experience! Enjoyed the private tour guide tailored to our pace and interests! Our guide was awesome!
Eduardo was an amazing guide. We were very lucky to sloths, howler monkey, toucans, frogs and more. He was fun and very knowledgeable of the areas and animals. Thank you for making it a great day
My daughter and I had a wonderful time learning about the Arenal Volcano and Mistico park! We would have missed more than half of the fascinating facts and animal sighting without our fantastic guide, Rasta! His love for the rainforest and his passion in sharing his knowledge of the area is apparent even in the first few minutes of the tour. It’s also convenient (and delicious) to have lunch included and on the way between hikes. We learned so much more with Rasta about both Mistico and Arenal volcano than we would have if we visited the parks to hike on our own and he made it so enjoyable.
Juan Carlos was great! Very knowledgeable and was able to communicate well in English. We drove ourselves and we followed him in his car. He used his tour guide discount so we paid less for our tickets. We had enough time to enjoy each spot and he was very flexible. Would definitely recommend! It was comforting that at every stop and along each walk the rest of the guides knew him. Thank you Juan Carlos!
