Amazing Family excursion - Miller was the best!

Spent the day with Alex, he was an amazing guide. I really can’t say enough good thing about him. We were joined by José and he was a fantastic guide when we did the buggy tour. We were able to go to a beach restaurant that by appearance was not impressive but had the best, truly the best Tuna Tartar I have ever had. We also had 2 kinds of Ceviche and Mahi Mahi tacos. It was SO much food, but worth every bite. The adventure park was great for families with kids but we could have skipped that as it was more like a zoo than I expected but the staff there was very knowledgeable. We did not do the zip line but it looked incredible. Plan to be VERY, VERY dirty and bring a face mask/bandana to protect against the dirt in your mouth and nose. I would give this more than 10 stars because of Alex and José if I could.

Miller makes the experience special
Perry_M
, Feb 2022
We started our day with Miller as he picked us up at our hotel. Friendly clean car and very informative. Miller had us meet with his associates who took my wife and I for a 3 hr buggy ride. Lots of fun going thru the back roads and thru the streams. Dusty and wet, but that was expected. We ended the buggy ride at a local beach free of any other tourists or locals. Very beautiful to see un-developed beach. Probably won’t last long.
Miller then took us to an animal conservatory. You are guaranteed to see the local rescued animals up close. What made this part of the trip special was Miller’s extensive knowledge of the animals, birds and reptiles. We walked away having a deeper appreciation of all the wildlife that makes Costa Rica such a special and unique country. I highly recommend Miller and Guanacaste Dream Vacations.
Amazing Adventure

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time on our private buggy and animal tour. Miller was the best tour guide. He was super knowledgeable about the Costa Rica and all the wildlife at the sanctuary. Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone that loves adventure and animals!

Was a very good trip for our honeymoon
Austin_S
, Dec 2021
To start the trip off we had Miller pick us up. He was very informative about all of Costa Rica as we were driving to our first destination which was the animal center. The animal center was very amazing. We saw tons of animals jaguars sloths all kinds of different monkeys butterflies. It was very beautiful and my wife enjoyed it for a honeymoon. Shout out to Miller for everything that he did. Now to continue on with Mr. Caesar, the second part of our trip that was for the buggy tour. The buggy tour was very amazing. He took us to all these beautiful destinations through water mudding. It was very fun. Started off in the mountains. Went to a waterfall then went and saw this beautiful view straight down the mountain. Then we proceeded to go down the beach. Mr. Caesar was very attentive to us and paid attention and made sure that we were there behind him the whole time. Would recommend 10 out of 10 five stars all that jargon. These two gentlemen were amazing. Thanks guys for making our time in Costa Rica special. We really appreciate you
Good times, go local avoid using the site

Great trip, great tour had a great time!!!
So since they want me write more here goes!! Do t waste your money on this site. Wait to book until you show up and meet up with one of the tour guides locally who will charge you 200 bucks less. They are Honest, and will show you a great time.
Response from Host , Oct 2021
Hi, my friend! First of all I want to thank the comment about our product. All of them help us to grow as a company to provide a better service.
I would like to clarify a very important point to take into consideration regarding about the price of our company when you comparing it with people who sells a similar tour on the the beach.
We are a legal company that meets all the requirements requested by the government (we pay taxes, we have insurance policies, we are legally registered with the Ministry of Tourism). All this gives our clients the assurance that they are buying a quality service. We do not want to say bad things about people who also have the right to offer tours, but I would like you to ask those people what kind of guarantee and security they offer since many times they request money in advance to make the booking tour and they never show up. That is why you bought the tour on this site because Viator gives you the assurance that you are getting a quality product, SAFE, that you will not lose your money in If it is a scam, this is what you are buying with us.
Finally I would like to clarify that this tour consists of 2 activities, transportation, 100% PRIVATE tour with your own bilingual guide personalized for you. You can use your time at your convenience. This is why this price is charged.

Miller was awesome

This excursion was simply amazing. Miller was the best tour guide anyone can ever have. Very knowledgeable. One of our group members got food sickness so he called the doctor for us even on a holiday. He treated us like we were his family. The Buggy tour was amazing with many beautiful beaches to see. I would definitely recommend this tour 100%.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
