Carlos was right at the pier to greet me and took me right to the van while we wait for the rest of the group to disembark from the ship. Allan was the driver. Both Carlos and Allan did a good job taking us around to see the sights in/around Tarcoles and when we were back in Puntarenas.

Booked as better looking and much cheaper option to Princess Cruise onboard excursion options. Very new Mercedes HiTop 12 seater bus, great AC, great itinerary, excellent driver and tour guide, great information throughout tour, even equipped with high quality bird scope to find macaws and took pics for clients. Great lunch stop. G'teed return to ship on time. Highly recommended

It was great and informative but advertised as 5 hours when it actually took 7 and a half hours but still good.

With Carlos as our guide, we were able to benefit from his knowledge of birds and tree species as well as his photography skills because he showed us and even shared some great photos. It was a very nice experience.

Very bad experience. I booked a cruise excutsion.I was not aware I was given the wrong booking date (7th Octo) instead of 10th Nov. Viator notced my cruise was not docking at the port on 7 Octo. and alerted me by email and I replied asking for correction. However since then despite several enquiries Viator did'nt reply to me. I feel helpless.
