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.

My first time at a volcano in Costa Rica
It is cold at the top, I recommend wearing non-slip boots and dressing in layers and a good jacket. It is a beautiful place that changes in minutes. You cannot see anything and suddenly you can see everything. It is magical

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.
事業者からの返答
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.

No show
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.

Interesting, beautiful, easy
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.

Not recommended
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.
事業者からの返答
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 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.

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.
