- Gio Tours - Day Tours - This tour starts when you leave the port of call and get onto the Panamerican Highway. You then head towards Monteverde. The descendants of the original Quakers who arrived here in the 1950s chose to protect their paradise from mass tourism by not paving the roads leading to the region. In a country and area where heavy rains can turn dust into mud in an instant, this strategy was effective for many years.
- Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve - You’ll understand why when you arrive at the Cloud Forest. The area where you first encounter this magical type of rainforest features a total of 6 bridges. After exploring this enchanting forest, you’ll travel to a lower area in Monteverde to enjoy the fun, learning, and discovery of coffee, chocolate, and sugar. Next, you’ll visit the Don Juan Coffee Tour. After this wonderful tour, you’ll be treated to a delicious, healthy lunch as part of the tour, and then you’ll return to the pier with smiles on your faces and in your hearts. You’ll be back at the pier by 3pm.

Good Day - Excellent tour, very good guide and driver. They went above and beyond to make it memorable. The swinging bridges of the cloud forest provide a great view of the jungle. The coffee/chocolate tour was also great. It is a longer drive to get to the forest and back, but worth it.

Great tour - Juan and Charlie were amazing. They went above and beyond when the traffic was stopped due to an accident. We made the ship but would not have if it weren’t for these two.

Great tour and guide - Juan Pablo was an excellent tour guide. At the coffee plantation we learned all about CR coffee and found out we're brewing it all wrong! Lunch buffet was fabulous. Highly recommended. You must be able to walk uphill at elevation.

Great nature connection and enjoyable day - This was a delightful day. They were very easy to find at the pier. We found Juan the guide to be friendly and informative, and fun! Charlie was friendly and helpful and a great driver. We loved the Monteverde Cloud Forest tour, found it to be very worthwhile. Beautiful, a great nature connection, and a great way to spend the time.
For the coffee tour we experienced sugar coming out of sugarcane, and cocoa beans made into chocolate. And saw coffee beans and roasting and had coffee and hot chocolate samples. Everybody in my group agreed this was a great day. We recommend it and Gio Tours.

FLEXIBLE - The cruise ship we were on had a very short stop in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Juan and our driver did an amazing job -- getting us to the Cloud Forest, hiking all six hanging bridges, a great lunch and (of cruicial importance) back to our ship with half an hour to spare. GREAT JOB!

Monteverde was cool and fun. - This was a nice rain forest walk, with a very good guide for the butterfly building. Johnny was a very good driver and Juan is friendly and informative. We did the butterfly instead of the coffee, which was probably better as l am from coffee country (HI).

They canceled the trip less than 24 hours before - Well they canceled the trip less than 24 hours before, the reason was I didn’t specify a pick up location. My hotel wasn’t in their list, and I did write that I would go to them as I have a car. More than that, no one bothered to message and ask such a trivial question. Also as I tried to go and rebook the trip right after the cancellation, there are no spots. So go figure
