5.00Marco is the best guide ever! So knowledgeable, so smart, so kind, so funny! We had him for private tour with our family of 5. The driver was Manny, he was great too. Highest endorsement. You will live hanging out with Marco. We booked another tour for a river/crocodile adventure the next day and that was awesome too.

5.00We LOVED this tour, and the separate river tour. The cultural experiences were also great parts of the tour (chocolate, coffee, sugar cane -- farm, process, etc). While I'm certain this Co has a lot of excellent guides -- I can say for sure MARCO is amazing. We felt like became part of the family -- fortunately, he would've been the smartest one in the family -- his environmental knowledge and his cultural knowledge were excellent, and his personality and vive make him a pleasure to be around and to learn from. He also told us the company takes great care of the employees, they bring in experts in the environment and history to educate the guides, and the employees really love working for the company. This matters a lot to me -- I like to spend my money with companies that really take care of their people, and clearly, this company does.

5.00Incredible tour. Carlos went above and beyond. We saw sloths, a baby sloth, an ant eater, vipers, and more…. Absolutely stunning trip. Lots of info, lots of relaxing. The coffee, chocolate, and sugar cane were delicious as well! And couldn’t beat having a private tour and a nice car to be in between legs of the tour.

5.00Our family had an wonderful time on the Rio Celeste Rainforest and Sloth tour. The tour started at the Hotel Riu Palace and was organized by Nexus tours. The staff at Nexus was amazing. They were so helpful and knowledgeable about everything related to this experience. The passion that Steven (our guide) had for the animals, the rainforest and Costa Rica in general was excellent. He went the extra mile to make sure we found sloths, toucans and even a poison dart frog.

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an unforgettable experience with No Limit Adventures, and it's all thanks to our amazing tour guide, Carlos. From the moment he picked us up in a new, comfortable Toyota van for our private tour, Carlos made sure our family of five felt right at home. He had an incredible eye for wildlife, stopping along the way to show us a Halloween crab and howler monkeys. His kindness and educational conversation made the two-hour ride each way enjoyable and informative. Our first stop was the breathtaking Llanos de Cortez Waterfall. The short hike was easy and the waterfall was stunning, with high water levels creating additional cascading falls. Although swimming is typically possible here, we couldn't swim that day due to the water levels. Nonetheless, the scenery more than made up for it. Next, we visited Fincaventura Bijagua for a Wildlife Hike and Farm Tour. We saw an array of animals in their natural habitats, including red-eyed tree frogs, bats, toucans, three-toed sloths, and three types of monkeys. The farm tour was equally impressive—we learned about the cultivation and processing of cacao, coffee, pineapple, and sugar cane. The highlight was tasting fresh chocolate, coffee, lemonade, and the most delicious fresh pineapple. Lunch at the farm's restaurant was a traditional Costa Rican feast with spectacular views. The guides were exceptionally knowledgeable and the facilities were first-class. Carlos, who initially convinced us to take this trip when he drove us from LIR airport to Las Catalinas, was instrumental in making our tour exceptional. No Limit Adventures is highly reputable and comes highly recommended for anyone visiting Costa Rica. This tour was an unforgettable adventure, offering a perfect blend of wildlife, culture, and comfort. Thank you, Carlos and No Limit Adventures, for an incredible experience! My family and children will never forget the memories we’ve made during our day with your company in Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
Great tour guide!

He is extremely knowledgeable about the various species of birds, different varieties of hummingbirds, where to find sloths, how to spot poisonous dart frogs and so much more.

5.00Our journey with Javier, Andres, Rollo, and Erick was the experience of a lifetime. We saw sloths, hummingbirds, poison dart frogs, and all sorts of other creatures, which was a treat for the children and the adults. Javier was extremely knowledgeable about nature, climate, and history. We could not have asked for a better guide or a more able driver. You must take this tour. Pura Vida!

5.00We had a full and exciting day touring the rainforests with Carlos. It was a beautiful visual experience with turquoise, blue water, Lots of green forest, beautiful flowers, animal encounters, and a delicious lunch. We were not all feeling well that day, but Carlos took extra good care of us. We highly recommend having a guide to drive you around and show you the sites and Carlos is the best.
