We stopped at a local restaurant for breakfast (not included in tour price) and the food was good. Then we drove the rest of the way to Monteverde to experience a short hike in the forest with a guide. After that, we took the SkyTram which provided a great view of Monteverde! This was our second time having Francisco as a tour guide and he didn’t disappoint. He made extra stops for us at supermarkets and at a local bar to try Chili Water (not promised in the trip). We had a great time and would happily recommend this tour to anyone staying in San José!1963zamora

Our tour operator Oscar was fantastic. Gave us a lot of info on the way, stopped at the fruit stand , monkey park, and coffee farm. He was knowledgeable and very accommodating. Even stopped at my request to taste coconut water on the roadside. Had a good lunch The tour itself was not good value for money. The sky tram was a good short ride but a wait of almost an hour between the tram ride and walking bridge with nothing to do. The Sky tour operator who did these tours then took us on the walking bridges. I had expected to be shown a lot of wildlife but the guide did not use binoculars or any extra effort to show anything special. We saw a few hummingbirds and some local.flora. we could have easily gone on our own and seen these ourselves. Another long bus ride back to San Jose. Dinner is not offered in this tour and we reached around 7.30 pm. The Selvatura tour has more options as some locals told us and wish we had known of it before.Kat M
