Safe drive and friendly... - Safe drive and friendly guide and driver. It was very rainy so we could not see much of the volcano and it was cold but if the weather is nice it must be a great experience.

Great experience! - It was great! I received confirmation the day before with the exact pickup time - and the next day's guide arrived on time! I really enjoyed the experience. Just a reminder that (of course) they can't guarantee volcano visibility - but regardless, the experience is very enjoyable! The weather changes very quickly there! From sunny to cloudy to rainy in just a few minutes—so be prepared!

Culture and history was very pure - From the time of pickup to drop off, we had an excellent time. Our tour guide, She was fantastic! Very energetic, plus very informative. Her driving was super cautious which we loved. Always attentive to see if we were ok all the way through. My son, who's 14 years old, whom was very amicable towards her and she reciprocated. I'm glad we took this tour because it was consumed with Historical facts and surrounded by CR culture.

Irazu - Great views, we got lucky and had clear skies, it is a bit chilly so a hoodie/sweater would be recommended. Good experience overall.

Guide was really... - Guide was really knowledgeable, but didn’t respond very warmly when I asked a question, a kinder explanation would’ve helped. Went in early July; it was rainy and cloudy the whole time, but we caught brief glimpses of the crater when it cleared for a few seconds. Hike to the highest viewpoint is worth it, would’ve been amazing with better weather. Quick stop at the church, but a service was on, so it was difficult to explore.

Very unprofessional and not worth the money. - The travel guide did not give us any information about the volcano or any location we visited. He even got into an argument with one of the customers when he was asked to provide information. Very unprofessional.
