Juan was a knowledgeable and kind guide! He stopped along the way to show us iguanas and sloths, and a coati which I’ve never seen before! Additionally the tour itself was amazing, from beginning to end each stop was interesting and fun, and it got better as time went on! Would recommend to anyone visiting Costa Rica.

Go Tour? Go go go!!

What makes a tour exceptional? In this case, it's Eduardo (our driver) and Jeffry (our guide). Our Go Tour staff were playful, thoughtful and accommodating. We had solo travelers, families, and couples in our group and Jeffry helped us find our harmony by getting to know us personally. Toward the end, it felt like old friends finishing up a road trip. Someone at Go Tour give Eduardo and Jeffry a raise!! Here are some pointers on this tour: -Keep in mind the drive will be long and windy. That means bring whatever makes you comfortable: travel pillow, headphones, sleep mask, Dramamine if you are easily carsick. Unexpected road closures may happen. -Try to stick the the schedule as this tour is a pretty big operation with restaurants and services awaiting your arrival. Lingering in one area for too long may reduce your time in the rest of the places. The aforementioned road closures do not help either! -Opt for the ziplining, it is TOTALLY worth it. We saw a monkey on one of our 10 ziplines! Enjoy Costa Rica! Pura Vida :)

Juan was absolutely amazing and very sociable. He did everything to make our group feel as if we were part of his family and the food spots we went to were great! Everywhere we went in the country was beautiful and worth the drive. For everyone concerned about safety, this trip is absolutely safe! When leaving the van the doors are locked at all times.

Amazing Day Trip
Michael_H
, Jul 2021
Our tour was fantastic! Juan did an amazing job sharing interesting information and history about every part of the trip. With all of the well-times stops it didn’t feel like we were on a bus ride forever which was really nice. Juan had a very good knowledge of how and where to find wildlife so we could see sloths and iguanas. The only down side was that we were unable to see the volcano due to inclement weather but this tour is definitely worth the money no matter what. We recommend this tour and hopefully you get Juan as your tour guide and you will have a blast!
