It is not worth the time and the money for half day trip. All we did was drive for an hour or so.. walked a little bit and came back. Not enough time at any stopover. Some people joined it with other activities snd that might be worth it. In all fairness, rainy season also may have to do a lot with this extremely boring trip. My general experience half day trips are worth nothing. We are seasoned traveleres.
Tour guide was a no show. I reached out via phone, message and email and no response. Extremely disappointing as we drove into San Jose for pick up.
We sincerely apologize for this experience. A no‑show combined with the lack of response you encountered is unacceptable and does not reflect our service standards. This situation has been escalated internally for urgent review, as we take these failures very seriously. We regret the inconvenience caused, especially after you made the effort to travel to San José for the pickup.
Local tour guide didn't show up on the day, tried contacting them but no answer. Customer support was good and tried to sort it out, got a refund 2 days later.
We’re truly sorry that the local tour guide did not show up as expected. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating that must have been. We’re glad our customer support team was able to assist you promptly and arrange a full refund within two days. Your feedback helps us identify gaps and work with our local partners to prevent this from happening again. If you decide to travel with us in the future, we’d appreciate the opportunity to deliver the experience you originally expected. Please feel free to reach out to our support team anytime.
This was an excellent and easy half day trip! Our guide was Gary, who was very knowledgeable. The volcano was incredible to see as well as the short tour of the church in Cartago. Bring some snacks and a jacket.
We’re delighted to hear you had an excellent and easy half-day trip. Gary will be especially happy to know his knowledge helped make your experience even more enjoyable. It’s great that you were able to take in the incredible views of the volcano and visit Cartago’s beautiful church. We also appreciate your helpful tip—it will surely benefit future travelers!
Sorry I can not recommend. Bus of 20 required over two hours of different hotel pickups. Drive up Mt was beautiful but time at volcano crater itself was 35 minutes, barely time to walk out and back, no view of crater bottom only upper sides. Church visit also felt rushed. Guide was great, funny and personable but is being asked to do an impossible job. I did half day tour, took 2 12/ hours to drop off tourists at five hotels before I got to mine. Way too much pickup and drop off time compared to actual trip time.
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the scenic drive and found the guide engaging. At the same time, we understand your concerns regarding the extended pickup and drop-off times, as well as the limited time at the volcano and other stops. Shared tours can involve multiple hotel pickups, which may impact overall timing. That said, your comments are very valuable and will be reviewed with our team to improve the balance between logistics and time spent at each location.
I liked it, the guide was very friendly and attentive
I was on half day tour so it was short. Best take full day . Walking inside the crater is part of tour. Going to Cartago and visiting & learning the cathedral history and participating in a few activities was interesting.
Gary was very friendly and pleasant on the trip, his explanations were clear and I felt confident always. I highly recommend it for your tours!
They are unable to pick you up from an AirBnB so you have to make your way to closest (listed) hotel that they do pick up from. Can be difficult to arrange for their early morning pickup this way. Eric the guide was wonderful, as was the driver, who expertly travelled very the difficult roads up to Irazu. The stop at Nuestra Senora de Los Angeles in Cartago was very special. Wish we could have had a whole hour alotted there. All in all, an amazing 1/2 day trip.
Great half day tour. Our guide Pedro was very funny and did a lot of explaining during the tour. Unfortunately the rain and fog spoiled the ability to see the crater properly which was outside of anyone’s control. Highly recommend.
