The private tour was awesome especially since it was just 2 of us. Our guide Johan was very friendly and knowledgeable and our driver Edgar was very nice. We were able to spend a lot of time at each stop and even make a pit stop for snacks and souvenirs. Johan was a very good and patient photographer. I would do this tour again.

Such a great experience!! And a BIG shoutout to our guide, Marvin! We saw two types of sloths, three types of monkeys, frogs, iguanas, butterflies, and more! It was definitely worth the price and definitely made our experience in the park much better. I would definitely recommend it. We got great pictures and learned so much. My group was young adults, but this would be great for all ages.

No words can describe how helpful, thoughtful and knowledgeable the employees of this company are. I will certainly be in touch again as I had such a fantastic time and learnt so much. A genuine, hardworking owner who will go out of his way for customers. Our tour to the volcano, small towns and the small resort with the hot springs was just amazing.

Eduardo was superb. He is super knowledgeable and has a great friendly personality. He drove us around all the neighborhoods explaining everything from history to little quirks. Eduardo answered all our questions. There was never a dull moment. He even took us to see the old U.S. embassy where my dad worked 53 years ago. My dad recognized the photo immediately. Thank you so much for a first-rate tour. We are arranging another tour through Thumbs Up Tours for this weekend at Manuel Antonio National Park.

This was an excellent tour from the port for $25.00 a person. It was 3 to 3.5 hours long. We had a driver and a tour guide and both spoke english. It was a good tour and we saw a wild three toes sloth climbing down from a tree as well as a large Aguana. We tasted fruits, cocao, and coconut milk. We got to see lots of the small city and the country side.
