The Tour guide Hirro and the driver Eduardo were excellent, answered all questions. Hirro's knowledge on the Flora and Fauna of the different bio region of CR was great. Only issue we had was the back office did not communicate to us the change in the Hotel in San Jose and no one was responding to the phone calls. We call Viator and they were able to contact the Monkey Tour. Finally after 2 hours a shuttle came to pick us up to Hotel.

My fiancée, son and I just returned home after an unforgettable vacation. We would like to thank Monkey Tours for they professionalism during the whole process - from ordering throughout the actual Tour. Also a big shout out to: Antonio, the driver who took good care of the passengers/ clients and our luggage the entire tour. Antonio, finished every day cleaning go his bus and always welcomed us back with a smile. Marcelo, the photographer took amazing pictures and surely understood that privacy of the clients was important as well. Not too much, nor too little ! Thanks Marcelo, You Rock ! At last, Albert our Tour guide. He is the Costa Rician version of David Attenborough, but with far more humour. Always on the spot and you feel his passion of his job. Gracias The reason for not rating the tour 5 stars is due to the fact that we did have enough free time on the nice hotels we were staying at. But spend the time instead exploring beautiful Costa Rica - so guess it’s a matter of what you are up for. A day in CR with 30 hours would be perfect ! I would definitely recommend Monkey Tour to everyone and will contact them again if I ever have the chance of going back to amazing Costa Rica Pura Vida :)
