We started off being picked up on time. Our driver was really friendly from the start. Our first stop was the fruit market where we got a very nice breakfast and coffee. From there we went to see some rather cheeky monkeys. Then we had a lovely lunch and our guide sat with us and we had a lovely conversation about Costa Rica. Then we went to Treetopia which was excellent. Our guide/driver was excellent throughout, giving information and letting us know where to be and how to get there. Overall, very impressed and would recommend.
Amazing experience

This was a wonderful excursion. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. We learned a great deal about plant and animal life of the region. The views were stunning. Advice: bring a jacket with you on the tram even if it is a warm day. It can get breezy.
Excellent

Great experience, although Monteverde itself merits a couple of days to fully enjoy it. Alex is a great guide.

Having an exposure to the rain forest was spectacular.Fernando was an exceptional host and tour guide. His knowledge of the landscape, culture and everyday life of the Costarican people is enviable. I will do the tour a second time.
