A wonderful experience! - Excellent tour guide and tour experience! The Waterfalls were gorgeous. It’s a physical challenge going up the stairs but well worth it.

Wonderful Tour! - The tour was great and the food was even better! Philander was very knowledgeable and loved showing us around. He helped us book our next tour, was on time, and took his time showing us the city. The animals were awesome and it was a beautiful tour.

Amazing Waterfall - La Paz Waterfall is amazing. To many steps to go dawn to the waterfall. The prolem is going back up. I am 61 and I did it. So can you. It is worth it. Take your time. Great restaurant with good food.

Well worth the price - We went on our own (no guide) to this beautiful park. We arrived mid morning and spent around three hours wandering the exhibitions, gardens and walking the trails to visit the very impressive waterfalls. The walk is easy, on good and safe paths. The view is incredible and the flora amazing. Since it’s so high up in the hills the weather was cool but comfortable. The excellent maintenance and thoughtfulness is obvious at every corner you turn. We didn’t have lunch at the restaurant but it looked lovely. We ate at one of the “soda’s” not far from the park. Excellent food, two people including cold drinks cost us 11,000 colones. The drive up and back was beautiful. Coffee plantations abound. Great day trip if you are in the San Jose area.

Beautiful - It’s hard to mess up La Paz it’s absolutely beautiful and our tour guide was so educated on everything. However I do not appreciate the pick up instructions changed. The location for pickup was moved last minute to a place we were not close to. And the pick up time was pushed an hour back. Which made us hit traffic both ways. Also it was supposed to be a private tour but someone else joined.

Super fun - I loved experiencing the total immersion in a stunning natural wonderland, yet in a safe environment and manner. I also enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and of course our knowledgeable and funny guide. The buffet lunch was wonderful, offering many varieties of local and world fare, and a nice long break. The transportation was prompt and comfortable. I realize that we were connecting with other tours, yet for this particular tour, I would recommend starting earlier in the day to avoid rush-hour traffic coming back to San Jose. All in all, a fantastic experience! Steve

Do Not book through this... - Do Not book through this company! What was booked and said over the phone was completely different than what was offered.

Last minute cancellation by tour company - The tour company text me the night before to cancel the reservation. I was not able to access through TripAdvisor. I need a refund for the La Paz waterfall tour, as I did not go at the tour company's request. Please let me know I will receive that refund. Thank you
