Hernan was great! - Hernan is one of the most incredible guides I have ever had anywhere in the world. His university studies for being able to be a nature guide is so obvious in his knowledge and understanding of the intricacies of the dry forest and the wet forest and the animals and plants that inhabit it. We did the loop trail and learned so much about plants, transition zones, animals, and the geology. His answers were never just a few words, but were obviously educated, detailed understanding and expression of the way these things all relate to each other and the beauties that they hold. Absolutely outstanding!

Highly Recommend! - We loved this excursion! Gabriel was awesome! He was so knowledgeable and engaging. He was very professional and personable. We learned a ton about the diversity of Costa Rica's flora and fauna. The hike was the fun and interesting. Lunch was yummy and in a nice setting. Our waterfall swim was refreshing and the mud bath/hot springs were relaxing.

Costa Rica gold! - Magical day exploring quiet waterfalls, hot springs, getting a volcanic mud scrub, swimming in a lagoon under a waterfall, enjoying a delicious lunch and making a quick souvenir stop. Mario did a fantastic job of planning the day to be seamless and crowd-free while helping us enjoy each experience as fully as possible. Well worth the money and 5 stars for anyone looking to pack a lot of Costa Rica into 8 hours!

INCREDIBLE PEOPLE !! - Gabriel was absolutely incredible. His knowledge of Costa Rica is next level — from local culture and history to the best hidden spots you’d never find on your own. He truly made the entire experience unforgettable. If you’re visiting Costa Rica, Gabriel is the person to be with. Professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Thank you, Gabriel, for an amazing experience — I can’t recommend you highly enough! - Pequeno Saltamontes

Private is the way to go.... - Private is the way to go. Our guide, Eugene, was knowledgeable, kind, and offered us options during the day. The hike in the jungle is really nice and the few swing bridges are cool. Take time to enjoy the hot springs too!

Tenorio Park Costa Rica - We had a great tour of the blue river waterfall at tenorio National Park. We did a nature tour, coffee making tour and a great outdoor typical Costa Rican lunch. We saw toucans, several sloths, frogs, toucans, hummingbirds, lots of rainforest flowers and plants. Eugene gave us extra service He was great when it was raining to go back and get our raincoats. He was very knowledgeable, and made sure we got to see everything.

Unforgettable - We were visiting from Cleveland, Ohio, and it was our first time in Costa Rica and my first time booking a private tour . Mr Eugenio was an absolute, perfect guide, patient, understanding and best of all he is a naturalist, he is extremely intelligent and showed us the best of Costa Rica. My daughter drew out a bird guide that had many different exotic bird species, and Mr. Eugenio hit every bird on her list and she was absolutely thrilled. Since he was born and raised there, he knew all of the best places to visit and he did an additional place just so we could see more animals. We also had the best local food in Costa Rica and throughout the countryside that he drove the big, he showed us where are the coffee /sugarcane Fields /banana Fields / dragonfruit trees were located and he stopped the car if he saw any birds or species in the wild and we actually saw toucans in the wild! ( Which was on my personal bucket list ) . We couldn’t have been any luckier and we are definitely returning to Costa Rica for a second trip. I am already recommending my family members to go to this custom tour with Mr Eugenio / Gabriel Custom tours. Thank you Eugene for an unforgettable experience. You are truly one of a kind-
