Recommendable - It was well organized. The guide spoke English and was telling us a bit about the country, culture and nature. At the different sites he always gave us like a small introduction and then let us walk around on our own. If we had any questions we could ask him when being back at the bus. Along the fascinating volcano and Lancester Botanical Gardens and the beautiful Orosi valley we also stopped at some nice viewpoints. And the food in the restaurant was delicious.

Central Valley tour - It was a good tour. Really enjoyed seeing the Central Valley. I would give tour 4.5; just wish we had known it would take 1 1/2 hours from our pick up just to pick up all other tour members. And the last to drop off of course. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable especially of the gardens. I’d recommend tour guide be a little more interactive throughout the drive and maybe an add more history to driving times. But enjoyed and would recommend but does include a lot of bus time

Not cooperative at all - Our flight got canceled so we were stuck in the US. That‘s why we couldn‘t participate. When we asked for a refund they didn‘t even give us half od the costs back. Not cooperative at all! Even after we explained to them our side of the story.

Scam on excursion made with viator. com - We travel with viator.com. We really doubt that Enterprise exists. When we wanted to express our opinion, the link did not exist. It was a big lie. We are looking for a taxi driver, who was neither prepared nor eager to explain anything about the places visited, but rather rushed us to finish the excursion quickly. This excursion is not worth 113 euros. The propaganda in Argentina indicates that it does not cost more than 30 usd, it was a scam and we would like to be recognized some of that money through tripadvisor since it is recommended through this page. Also tell us where to report in Costa Rica, in defense of the consumer, so that these people do not continue to scam tourists. I'd like to know where I can contact you, to send you all the codes regarding this alleged Enterprise.
