    Great experience. Great tour guide Gustavo. Great views. We literally stopped everywhere to experience everything. He was well knowledgable of everything. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Been waiting to see a active volcano for a long time and finally got the chance with a tour guide who knew everything there was to know. Definitely will be back.

    Excellent tour w excellent tour guide. Despite closure of the volcano due to eruption, he arranged other similar activities and sightseeing for the day. Highly recommended

    5 star service from beginning to end! Gustavo communicated promptly, picked me up on time, allowed time to stop for coffee and arrive at Poas Volcano at the most opportune time to be able to see the iconic views. So grateful Mother Nature cooperated to experience seeing an active volcano. On the return trip a few stops were made, including lunch at a local favorite and then Starbucks Coffee Farm…what a view! Everywhere we went Gustavo was known, he is warmhearted, kind and knowledgeable of the area. His personalized service made this an excellent experience!

    Gustavo was an excellent guide; he was very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the sites. Unfortunately, the volcano was clouded over. Lunch was delicious, bountiful, and fairly priced. The only issue was that this 4-6 hour tour took more than 9 hours.

  • Great Tour

    It was a fantastic day on the way to the volcano. We stopped at a little café for coffee. My tour guide was so good that he explained everything and answered all of my questions on the way the volcano. It was a great day.

    Gustavo and I had quite the adventure together! It was just the two of us so it was a super flexible day. The Volcano was cloudy and had unusual rain that day but honestly it was incredible just knowing I was on top of an active volcano and Gustavo got an epic video of me in the wind and clouds. We also stopped for great food and delicious coffee overall making it a really fun day 🥰
