This adventure was... - This adventure was excellent value our guide. Iman was excellent. He took wonderful care of us, spoke English and Spanish equally well and made sure that we got to see everything that we wanted to being able to be upfront and close with a sloth within touching distant of it was amazing. The iguanas were spectacular to seewith thoroughly enjoyed the zip lining and the hot springs as well. We got to eat at two different places and the food was very good at both. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody who’s looking for a full fun adventure some day.

Fun Costa Rican Adventure. - We loved our experience. We met wonderful people in our group. Jorge was a great tour guide and knowledgeable. If you are adventurous this is the tour for you. Ziplining through the rain forest was so fun but if you don’t want to do that you can choose to go to the hot spring earlier instead. We saw sloths, many birds, and iguanas. You get about 20 minutes to shop at a souvenir shop and at any of the stops along the way. The hot springs was a nice end to the day. Relaxing and peaceful. It is a jam packed full day experience, but so fun. Pros- Ziplining was the highlight. There was a variety of options for the food both vegetarian and meat. Cons- It is a long bus ride.. Our bus was full so it was a tight squeeze. If it is cloudy you will not be able to see the volcano, this was out of our control. Suggestions- Bring something to entertain yourself on the bus. There are going to be long periods of driving. Bring snacks, while you get lunch and dinner you might want something for the bus ride especially since dinner is after the hot spring about an hour out from that adventure.

Brilliant Tour! - My family and I had a fantastic trip with HARLEM and CHRISTIAN as our brilliant guide and driver. It was a really action-packed day, but the regular stop offs for food, refreshments and to see interesting sights made the day fly by. The coffee plantation was really interesting, the hummingbirds were sensational and the zip-lining was so much fun (we especially enjoyed the 'limo's to take us back up to the top!). The day was topped off by an amazingly relaxing time at the thermal springs, which the whole family enjoyed. Thanks so much for an amazing trip guys!!!

Best Day in Costa Rica - Thanks to Go Tours Guide, Kenneth, this was a perfect ending to our stay in San Jose. Kenneth was so engaging with everyone on the bus: he shared facts about Costa Rica, was very knowledgeable about each place we stopped. He spotted a sloth in a tree so we stopped and everyone got out for the photo opportunity! Our stops included a coffee plantation, La Paz Waterfalls, Arenal Volcano, zip lining and hot springs. We ended our day with a stop at a road side restaurant for a great dinner. I would highly recommend this trip....and ask for Kenneth as your tour guide....he was the absolute best.

Easy trip for older folks - Had a great time viewing the waterfall, the volcano and soaking in hot springs. If you're not up to anything strenuous, this is perfect.

Driving forever - Honestly it was fun, but everything was cut short. Zip-lining, we couldn’t do the last couple lines cause something unexpected happened which is completely understandable. The issue of that I thought that at least meant we would have more time at the hit spring attraction but nope. We are given an 1hr and a half to get dressed to swim, swim, shower and get dressed again. Little to no time enjoying the experience. Driving everywhere was ssoooooo long. From one place to another was torture. Also, another time crunch was the souvenir shop. We’re tourists and wanna shop and couldn’t do that comfortably. Lastly, they should definitely rake volcano out of the description. We didn’t hike it nor stop to see it. Never did we have time to take photos of ourselves. It was so weird bc it was the entire day and they restricted us to do anything. Regardless, the tour guide was nice and the scenery was incredible. I think they need to be more organized. Overall expect driving for hours and hours.

Don’t waste your money - Don’t book it’s basically just a long road trip with food stops the beginning of the day started with the coffee plantation that we did not get to visit due to it being closed they did not refund us for cause they thought the driver explaining it to us was the same as actually seeing the plantation, walking and having a experience of the plantation with a guide. We also did not get to go zip line the driver claimed that some people in the group did not want to but later on blamed it on traffic mind you it was a 14 hour excursion, seeing the volcano isn’t apart of the tour but it is advertised like it is so be aware of that. You only get to see the tribal people for 15 minutes they give you a shot of drink then you shoot a self made arrow and that it’s no history back story no cultural lesson. The “ iguana center” was the driver stopping on the side of the road and showing us iguana in a tree. The hot spring is not a volcano hot springs but instead them going to Paradise hot springs hotel which is really just pools set at different temperatures. If you stay in a Airbnb they won’t pick you up from the Airbnb they want you to meet them at the nearest hotel which defeats the purpose of paying for pick up and drop off.
