Gracias Fernando - Fernando is awesome! He is a fantastic guide and made the day special. This day was our favorite among a full week of CR activities. Bring a poncho! The bridges were so much fun and had a great rainforest guide. It is a long drive back to San Jose so be ready for a nap.

My favorite day - Over a full week of CR activities, this was my favorite. Bring a poncho, not an umbrella. And a good camera. Our guide was fantastic, knowledgeable and fun. The tram is nice but the bridges are the highlight.

Great trip to Monteverdi and a must do - It was a great trip with clouds touching your face in the hills of Monteverdi. The Gandola ride was safe and make sure you climb the viewing tower once you reach at the top. It is safe to climb and you are the top of the world at the tower platform. Amazing view of the forest from up there. Then once you come down from Gandola ride, it’s time to walk on the suspension bridges and see the 200 feet trees in the jungle. Make sure you take rain jacket or panchos with you. It is completely safe but it can start raining any time in Monteverdi so be prepared. The lunch was ok and ride in the bus was fine although the bus is smaller with tight space for seating but does the job. The traffic makes the journey longer. Also the stop to see the monkeys was amazing. We saw so many capuchin monkeys and had a blast. Wear a good bug spray when you go to see the monkeys. I highly recommend this trip to everyone and it’s a must do when you visit Costa Rica. Our driver Fernando did a great job giving the details about Costa Rica’s history and geography. The fruit stand is not much to write about. Just bunch of bigger stalls.

Great trip to Monteverdi - Excellent trip to the Gandola ride and walking through the clouds forest on various suspension bridge. The fruit stand stop was nothing to write about but the capucin monkey was really fun. Fernando, our driver and guide was very really nice and kept us entertained with the history and geography of Costa Rica. The bus was little small but did the job. We highly recommend this tour.

Phenomenal Day Trip to Monteverde - The day trip to Monteverde from San Jose is expertly organized. Prepare for an entire day of learning about Costa Rica and traveling between two of its provinces. Bring snacks and water. An early lunch is provided. The few hours spent in Monteverde itself is gorgeous. The natural beauty of the rainforest cannot be replicated elsewhere. (Be warned of heights!) Our driver Don Fernando was wonderful and wise, making our trip enjoyable and safe. The guides at Monteverde were clear and knowledgeable about the flora and fauna. Overall, so happy with the experience of a day trip to Monteverde!

Breathtaking beauty - This was an amazing tour with a wonderful lunch at a beautiful location where we saw a Toucan land on a tree right in front of us. The hanging bridges are an experience I will never forget. The cloud forest is absolutely breathtaking. My husband and I did this tour our last day in Costa Rica, and it completed a fantastic week of adventure.

Colloid forest and Hanging bridges - Overall the tour was ok. It took us to the forests, the driver/guide was knowledgeable however the tour was rushed. There was a hurry to get to the forest and the driver was very eager to get back to home soon. We came back one- two hours before the time that was told in the morning. There are lot of good places on the route and a couple of stops to take pictures on the way would have been great.
