Amazing family owned tour company. We booked transport from La Fortuna to Monteverde and the trip was so much more than expected! We got to do bird watching on the boat ride over the lake, then were picked up by Freddie who took us to harvest sugar cane and make sugar cane drinks (watch out for the moonshine ;-) ) before stopping at a butterfly garden and eventually a drop off right at our hotel in Monteverde. Amazing trip, fantastic host, and we are going to book more tours with Faro travel. Strongly recommend!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about our trip from La Fortuna to Monteverde with Faro! My daughter and I just hoped for an easy way to get from one place to another, but Freddie made it an experience for us. We stopped at a local farm where we got to cut and press sugarcane and enjoy a homemade drink. We also had a rest break at a little cafe with homemade empanadas and a butterfly garden. Freddie shared a lot of great ideas for places to eat and things to do in Monteverde. Looking forward to the return trip with Faro! It’s a family business and you can tell how much care they put into what they do.
Punctual, communicative on WhatsApp, and safe rides to Monteverde -thanks you for the shuttle service!
This was a super helpful and fun way of getting from one destination to the other. More enjoyable and took less time than driving around the lake
Everything went smoothly, from pickup at our hotel to drop off at the boat to pickup on the river side of the lake and dropoff at our lodging. The boat ride was maybe an hour in a simple vessel and was easy and uneventful. The ride from the lake to Monteverde was an adventure in itself as the roads were narrow, rutted from rain and use, and we even crossed a small river that was overflowing on a narrow bridge. The driver was amazingly accomplished through the entire two hours (which included a short break at a coffee shop). All the people working on this trip were very competent and we trusted them to deliver us safely.
The drive itself is an experience. I am thankful I’m not the driver. The scenery was incredible and our driver was most courteous and tried to give us a chance to see some interesting things. The boat ride was good and gave us another opportunity just to look and experience the views of arenal lake and volcano
We made a change from afternoon crossing to morning crossing and the company was able to accommodate us. The communication with Faro Tour company was excellent! Very professional and on time service. I would definitely recommend!
