5.00The minute I was picked up from my hotel I was made feel welcomed by Ronni, I was optimistic in the beginning by being on my own in the tour but how wrong was I . Ronni made the whole tour so enjoyable by being so cheerful and informative throughout the day that guy is a legend. The restaurants we visited were brilliant and took back good memories of my last day in Costa Rica. Due to the brilliant experience I had in my tour I will definitely coming back to see more of Costa Rica, thanx for sending Ronni to look after me

5.00The was such a fantastic tour. The hanging bridges were great and seeing the Arenal Volcano was amazing. The restaurants we traveled to for lunch and dinner were great places. The best part of the trip was the Tabacón Hot Springs. It was such an amazing and luxurious place. It was truly an experience that I will never forget. We went during the rainy season and it rained a bit but that did not spoil the tour at all. I highly recommend this.
Beautiful

5.00I made the arrangements through email prior to arriving. There was no language barrier and the process was very easy. We took 3 tours, irazu volcano and Vista to orosi Valley (and requested trip to ruins of Santiago apostol for no extra charge); Arenal hanging bridges and tabacon hot springs; and per their recommendation, switched the rio sarapiqui boat tour, poas, doka and la paz. The vehicles were in great condition with air conditioning. We booked a group tour with a multiple trip and cash payment discount. Prices were very reasonable. They only do small group tours which we prefer over a charter bus, but we were the only two so it was basically a private tour. Arturo was an amazing tour guide, driving safely and providing just enough information to inform us of the area without overwhelming us with constant information. He arrived on time and identified himself so we found him easily outside the hotel. They let us know exactly what to bring for each tour (passport for Poas) and appropriate clothing. They were incredibly flexible with their tours, they allowed us to cut our hot springs tour short because it had started raining, and even got our included dinners to go. We left our camera in the van after the last tour and didn't realize it until we were packing to go home. We called them and they immediately came back to the hotel to give it to us. We ended up having to switch hotels and they had no problem picking us up at a different location. We needed to get cash, but had difficulty finding an ATM that would accept our debit card, so they took us to multiple banks until we found one that did. Destiny tours went above and beyond our expectations. I highly recommend this tour company and would book through them again if we ever travel back to Costa Rica.
