3.00Guide was great. The only problem I encountered was the van did not cool down at all during the trip. That made life miserable and could enjoy the trip.

5.00Benesio proved to be an excellent and determined guide - made sure we saw all the wildlife of the area including some elusive macaws. We were notified a couple days in advance that we were the only clients so we could make it a private tour for just a bit more. So we had a great 5 hour tour packing in plenty of sights along with lots of driving.

5.00Carlos 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.
