We had a wonderful time, I HIGHLY recommend this tour! Our guide Yordan was very knowledgeable and you can tell he is very passionate about what he does which made our day super pleasant. The stops on the way to Monteverde were perfect, we got to stop at a a huge place full of local fruits, and we even got to try some of them, I love fruit! But the stop at the monkey-lady house was the best! It was super funny to see all those monkeys playing around and I'll tell you... They are WILD! Yordan also made a couple stops for us to take pictures of the gorgeous mountains and the ocean. Our guide at the hanging bridges was very knowledgeable too, we learned tons on our hike and the views from the bridges were awesome 3. The tram ride was a awesome, we got our best pictures at the look-out place at the top of the tram ride. Oh and the food was great too! Overall, this Monteverde tour was an amazing experience!
First of all, Costa Rica Tours is a great company - prompt and responsive. But the tour itself was a little disappointing. We saw no animals or birds at all during the hanging bridges and sky tram tour. with respect to the the sky tram, which advertises a hour long ride was actually only 12 min up, wait at the top for 25 min and then come down. lunch was good.
