Good tour overall the...

Good tour overall the guide was very knowledgeable about the coffee industry and history. However, the guide spoke mainly Spanish most of the time (it was a group who spoke Spanish mainly but understood English) however I booked the tour in Spanish. Also, this tour isn't solo friendly. I was alone most of the tour and the guide didn't really speak or interact with me unless I spoke to him.

Nice views, experience and memory

I will cherish the memory, but wouldn’t give it a 5 due to the shuttle being a little uncomfortable for the rough ride. The last coffee stop was next to busy road and a little dumpy. The first coffee plantation stop was nice, but we had to pay to drink the coffee really nice. It wasn’t clear that it wasn’t included. They make a couple stops at tourist souvenir stores. The volcano walk / hike was great and the highlight. I think the tour could be done in 5-6 hours, instead of 8. I would recommend this tour, but at a 4 out of 5 for me.

10/10

I had an amazing experience on the Poás Volcano, La Paz Waterfall, and coffee tour with Ricardo as my guide! From the beginning of the tour to the very end, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel welcome. He shared so much interesting information about Costa Rica, the volcano, wildlife, and coffee production, making every stop even more enjoyable. Ricardo was organized, patient, and always made sure I was comfortable and having a great time. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and his positive energy made the entire day even better. This tour was easily a 10/10 experience, and Ricardo was a huge reason why. If you're looking for an unforgettable tour in Costa Rica, I highly recommend requesting him as your guide. Thank you for making my trip so memorable!

The Poás Volcano was the highlight of the tour.

The excursion was well organized overall. The pickup was punctual, and I was the first passenger to board the transport. However, the pickup process took quite a bit of time because several participants left later than expected, apparently due to being informed of a different schedule. It would be good to review this aspect, especially considering the traffic in San José. The coffee plantation is very beautiful, although the explanation about coffee production does not take place there. Additionally, the tour is not at the Starbucks plantation as indicated in the advertisement, so it would be advisable to update that information to avoid confusion. The highlight was undoubtedly the visit to Poás Volcano. We were fortunate to see it completely clear, and the views were spectacular, although we did not see the Botos Lagoon. The lunch was good, and afterward, there is an explanation about the coffee process that concludes with a tasting. As a recommendation for future travelers, please be patient with the return to San José, especially during the week, as the traffic can be quite intense. Overall, it was a good experience and an excellent opportunity to get to know one of the most impressive places in Costa Rica.

Thank you so much Charly for such a great and insightful tour. Such a caring and attentive guide. I told Charly that I haven’t had the chance to try Guanabana juice yet and he went out of his way to locate some. Pura vida!

Amazing day of fun and very educational.

First the day was made great by our guide Rodrigo. Can't say enough about his knowledge and helpfulness. Learned a lot about how coffee is grown, processed and brewed. Had an amazing hike to Poas Volcano and Lake Boras and kicked out that the skies were clear and we had a great view of both. La Paz waterfall was beautiful, especially if you walked the path behind it. Top it off with a great lunch and great group of people on the tour and it was an amazing day.
