Great day! - Ken and Randy were excellent tour guides. Ken’s English was fantastic and he had so much knowledge of Costa Rica and all the flora and fauna. Great sense of humor as well. I did feel the people on this tour felt it was way too long, especially for the over 65 crew. Yhr Monkey place was a big disappointment as it was filthy, and unkempt. Fondly, The Hudson’s from Texas

Spectacular scenery - This tour really showcases the beauty of Costa Rica. I was a bit nervous about the hanging bridges, but they are very secure, and the view is once in a lifetime. The tram ride is spectacular too. It was also incredible to visit the monkey house. They are so fun to watch, and two of them actually decided to use me as a ladder. It is a memory I will never forget. Our driver, Alex, did a great job of both driving and providing lots of great information. He included laminated cards for us to better understand the flora and fauna we would be seeing, as well as the geography and different regions of the country. He treated us to a short hike and botanical lesson at the small coffee farm behind our lunch stop. I really learned a lot and would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Memorable Experience at Monteverde Sky Tram & Hanging Bridges - Our tour guide, Oscar, did an excellent job to provide us with a wonderful experience. He was patient and answered all of our questions. Above all, he was very knowledgeable about the various weather patterns across Costa Rica and how it affects the wildlife and plants in general. The highlight of our trip was the walk on the hanging bridges, learning more about the plants and species on our hike, and ride on the sky tram.

Breathtaking Cloud Forest vistas but poor communication initially - We went on the Monteverde Sky Tram and Hanging Bridges experience. Overall, it was absolutely breathtaking and we took some amazing photos of monkeys and the forest. Our tour guide Alex was very warm and knowledgeable. We bought fruits at a local stand and had traditional casados for lunch which was very vegetarian friendly (included in trip). Highly recommend bringing a rain jacket. Only reason this experience gets 4 stars instead of 5 is poor communication before the trip. Booked through Expedia who could not contact the company, only phone number listed is outside the country, difficult to find a local number. Had to call several times before someone from the company picked up. Adriana was not very responsive to email and told us the our pickup time would be 20 mins before we were actually picked up. Despite these initial hiccups, I still recommend this experience because of it’s value. Long drive with transportation included, meals, and a tour guide is definitely worth it for a small group of 2 or 3! Of course, the views speak for themselves
