Reviews: La Paz Waterfall Gardens Half-Day Tour from San José
Guest User2024-06-02
Amazing tour. I booked it the day of and we were still able to do this. We were sent a message on when the pickup will happen and they came promptly to pick us up from hotel. Our guide was very sweet and knowledgeable. He answered any questions we had. We stopped at the coffee farm first and had coffee and took some pictures. That was a quick stop. Then we stopped at another store and that was a quick stop too. The we spent the rest of the time at La Paz falls. We saw a lot of birds, animals, reptiles, even a sloth. We then had lunch which was buffet style and had a wide range of food choices and was really good. The we saw the falls. All the time our guide was with us giving us the information about the falls and the gardens. We were back at our hotel shortly after 5. It was a great tour. Thank you!
Reviews: Hacienda Café Doka, Volcán Poas & Jardines de La Catarata La Paz

Recommendations for activity: - Good shoes (lots of walking) - Small backpack I went to Costa Rica with my father and decided to do this activity. This activity is an all day affair, and covers a multitude of things. We learned about coffee at the Doka Estates— drank lots of coffee in the process. We then went to the Volcano. Keep in mind you might have to hang around for an hour to see the crater (we went during the rainy season). It was hard to get a visible view of the crater. We were able to get a good view for 30 seconds and that’s it. Later we checked out the waterfalls, which I must say was gorgeous! The lunch was included— it was a buffet style lunch. I would recommend doing this tour if you want to complete several activity’s in one day. My only gripe was the tour guide was a little overwhelming. He constantly checked in on us like we were kids, other than that, the tour was good.

We were in San Jose for a conference and had one free day to see some of Costa Rica and have some fun. This was the perfect tour. It was a full day and all three locations were beautiful, interesting, and diverse. Olman, our tour guide was knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time at each location. He was my favorite tour guide I've ever had. I could not recommend this tour more highly if you are looking for a way to see the beauty of Costa Rica around San Jose in one day.

It was great! Our tour guide Denise was fantastic. You could really see that she loved her job, and she was excellent at keeping things engaging and fun
Reviews: La Paz City Walking Tour Including Historical Streets
Guest User2024-10-05
Amazing tour. Easy to find at the starting point. Lots of interesting facts and stories shared. Nice walking pace and got to see places I wouldn’t have even known to visit and also hear information about areas we had already visited but never would have learnt about without the tour. Good sized group.
Reviews: Full day Tour Charquini and Laguna Esmeralda
Guest User2024-10-01
Beautiful hike to laguna Esmeralda and some nice stops on the way. It wasn’t touristic and no touristtraps along the way which we really appreciated. The guide was very helpful and spoke english. He had lots of cool photo ideas at lake esmeralda for us and took the photos of us. The lunch (cheese empanada, banana and cerial bar) was a nice surprise. Would recommend.
