Great experience

Published on Nov, 2024

Wonderful tour and the guides were fantastic. It was an excellent day. Our group was very small so the tour felt very personalized. Only suggestion is that they work to avoid high traffic times because we got stuck in traffic for over an hour on the way back

Perfect day trip

Published on Apr, 2024

Wonderful day, scenery, wildlife, flora, fauna. Guide was very informative, generous of spirit, loves his job. Food and travel clean and welcoming. Thoroughly recommend…

BEWARE of the overall TRIP TIME

Published on Jan, 2024

Overall, it was a fantastic day! Keep in mind it's a whole day trip not just 6 hours. This tour company has difficulty relating the true overall time it takes for their tours. The challenge with the trip is the traffic, they do not allow for traffic. So this 6 hour trip started with a pick up at 6:15am and we didn't get back to the hotel till 6:30pm, luckily we did not have other plans. I would recommend this trip in a heartbeat, however just be prepared for it to take the entire day. Our guide Fran was fantastic!!

Good views, information, and experience

Published on Jan, 2024

Great ride up, and experience at the volcano, coffee plantation, and good variety of touristy attractions at La Paz gardens.

Worth the time and money.

Published on Dec, 2023

Our guide, Artu was awesome. He was extremely attentive and always gave us enough time to view the sites and his knowledge of the area was vast. We were lucky to have a clear day to view the volcano and the national park and waterfalls was just beautiful. We learned a lot about coffee on the plantation tour. So glad we fit that in.
