I really enjoyed this tour. I loved that we got a chance to see so much of San Jose and La Fortuna area plus everything in between. Our tour guide was awesome - he provided so much historical insight about Costa Rica - coffee production, fruit production of bananas and pineapples and how they export to other countries. It was all very interesting. We made quick stops on the way to La Fortuna to see an ox cart which used to be used to transport coffee and at a local artisan shop where we could buy coffee and gifts. It took several hours to reach the restaurant for lunch, but lunch was delicious and the staff was super nice. I enjoyed seeing the Arsenal volcano and the history about it. We chose Los Lagos for the hot spring and although it is small it was perfect for our family. If you’re looking for super hot springs, go to Baldi. The warmest temp at Los Lagos is about 104°. Food was delicious and the service was great. We spent more like 3.5 hours at the hot springs, I think because of the distance. Still a good time. Also, the tour ended up being about 15 hours in total, just FYI. Prepare for a long day. Last thing - and I think this is common in CR.. but the bus driver was pretty reckless. To be carrying a load of passengers, I thought his driving was too fast and erratic. He hit a speed bump at 70-80 MPH and almost lost control. I couldn’t relax the whole ride.

The guide (Pedro) and driver (Giovanni) were great! But the bus itself was uncomfortable: very small seats with little leg room. The tour is advertised as 12 hours but it took closer to 15. Long, exhausting day. Lunch was decent, but they didn’t serve coffee. Dinner was good, but the buffet line was long and we were rushed to eat quickly. People who can experience nausea are asked to take a Dramamine pill on the ride up/down the mountain. The dose they gave me was too strong and I ended up feeling drugged, dazed, and awful.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very glad to hear that both Pedro and Giovanni made a positive impact on your day with their service and professionalism. We truly regret that the transportation and overall duration of the tour did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the bus comfort, extended travel time, and meal experience are very important to us, and we will review these aspects internally to improve our operation. We are especially sorry to hear about your experience with the medication.

We appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us continue improving, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much more comfortable and enjoyable experience in the future.
Amazing driver Rodrigue’s and tour guide Donald. Really beautiful scenery. Bus needs an upgrade it was too small for 3 hour drive.

We also appreciate your comment about the bus. Your feedback is very important to us, and we’ll take it into consideration as we continue improving our services.

So glad you had such a fantastic experience! It’s always a huge plus when the guides make the tour both enjoyable and seamless. Max sounds like he really knows how to deliver top-notch service, and it’s great to hear the driver helped make everything run smoothly too. Thanks for sharing!
Please do not book this tour. We were picked up at 7:30 AM and spent most of the day driving. The first stop at the ox cart was about 20 minutes with no explanation or information from the guide. After that, it was hours in the van with only a quick bathroom break until lunch around 1 PM. The volcano stop lasted about 15 minutes and felt extremely rushed—I couldn’t even get a clear photo before we had to leave. The hot springs stop was also short, with less than 2.5 hours before being rushed again to eat and head back. Overall, you spend only about 3 hours outside the vehicle, yet the tour runs from 7:30 AM to nearly 11 PM. There was no history or context provided at any stop. Very disappointing and felt like a waste of the entire day. I highly recommend going on your own—there are shuttle buses to La Fortuna for around $45 one way. Stay overnight and return the next day for a much better experience.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re very sorry the tour didn’t meet your expectations. We understand your concerns about the long travel time, rushed stops, and lack of information, and we truly regret this experience. Your comments are very important to us, and we will review this with our team to improve both timing and guiding quality. We appreciate your honesty and apologize again for the inconvenience.
They canceled my tour on Friday (Thursday afternoon) and had only one option. Saturday. 16 hour day 7:30 am-11:30 pm. Guide was less than friendly to me while overly accommodating to others. Restaurants were very good. Driver amazing.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by the cancellation. We understand how frustrating a long 16-hour day can be, especially when plans change. We also regret to hear that you felt the guide was less than friendly toward you. This is certainly not the level of service or warmth we strive to provide, and your comments have been shared internally so we can address this directly. That said, we’re glad to know you enjoyed the restaurants and that our driver made a positive impression—your recognition of their great service is very much appreciated. Thank you again for your honest feedback. It helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.
