EXCELLENT Based on 339 reviews Posted on Robert KVerified Coffee, volcanos and waterfalls A fantastic day. Around 12 hours overall and well worth the money. Great organisation made everything really easy. The pick up from the hotel was on time and first stop was the coffee farm. Commentary en route was great from our guide, and made the drive fly by. The farm was beautiful and insightful and breakfast was a good plate.On to the Poas volcano. The weather was cloudy so our guide took us for a trail walk to allow time for the cloud to lift. The result was well worth the wait! Breath taking!A short drive to La Paz and our guide led us around the animal enclosures before lunch. Again, all well organised with reserved pre paid food.The day finished with the trail around the waterfalls.Overall I would highly recommend. The content showcases some of Costa Rica’s most beautiful areas. The team in the day (Gary and Nancy the guides, Rodrigo the driver) were fantastic!Posted on Sue RVerified Excellent experience what Costa Rica has to offer Well coordinated day tours from San Jose. Enough time to experience the attractions and friendly guides. The white water rafting and rainforest experiences were a highlightPosted on JCC1994Verified Costa Rica I would like to give an objective summary of my trip to Costa Rica, with Summer travel through Trip Advisor. Initially I wish to highlight the positive things, without a doubt Costa Rica is a very exotic destination and full of pleasant attractions, the people are very friendly and very responsive. My package was 7 Nights and 8 days, for a family group of 5 people, the transfer from the airport to the hotel did not present any inconvenience, one detail that we appreciate is that we were not placed in triple rooms, but in a double and two with king bed, something extremely practical for our logistics, however if I think it appropriate to comment that the assigned hotel, Delta Marriott San Jose, did not meet the international standard of 4 stars, as indicated by the package, if it had the facilities and services even to have maybe been 5 stars in the past, but the current state of the rooms never corresponded to those standards. We were assigned rooms on the 9th floor, they had a stale smell and damp on the carpets, you could tell that they were also very old and especially bad for allergic people, the bathtubs were notoriously percussed. One of the most important things when traveling is to have a pleasant room because you spend days with many activities and a comfortable rest is very important.When making the claim at the hotel we were told that they did indeed have rooms a little deteriorated but that they had started a remodeling process, I think it is very important that you verify the condition of the facilities and services they offer and that you should not overvalue the properties because they generate a false expectation and the client feels cheated, this hotel reaches barely 3 stars.Regarding the walks I think they are quite good, besides some of the guides especially Jairo and Lenny, they really know a lot what they are doing and entertain with their stories and anecdotes.The foods in general are fine, you have to be aware that Costa Rica is not a particularly known destination for being highly culinary, but on the day of the visit to the volcano Irazu, the restaurant where you went to lunch was not at all acceptable, I would suggest checking it for future occasions.Finally a final recommendation on long trips like Manuel Antonio and the suspension bridges would suggest using slightly larger transports for tourist comfort. Overall the destination and services are pleasant and I recommend them, although corrections should be made and these details consulted with the agency to avoid inconvenience.Posted on archanamaratheVerified Wonderful Irazu experience to start the new year! I went to 4 in 1 : Irazu + Orosi + Ruins Ujarras + Lake Cachi with Lunch tour on January 1, 2026. It was one of the most wonderful experience to say the least. The tour started around 7 and ended for us around 3 since we chose to not participate in the free upgrade. The weather was generally nice on the day and we could enjoy all the spots that were planned in the tour. Ours was a small group of around 6/7 people. The best part of the tour was when it came to the staff. Both our tour guide Gary and bus operator Roy were BEST. When we reached the peak of Irazu volcano, it felt like a setback due to weather as it was completely foggy and cloudy. We couldn't see a thing. Gary was very patient and assured that he will do his best in terms of planning so that we could enjoy the views of the volcano. Interestingly, the weather started to turn for better when our allotted time for the spot was almost over. Both Gary and Roy immediately took us back to the peak and we could enjoy the volcano views in very clear atmosphere. It was because of these two, we could enjoy it and it meant a lot.Overall as a tour guide, Gary was VERY accommodating and wonderful in general. My senior citizen mother was doing the tour with us and he even helped her getting out of the bus. When we decided to skip the upgrade part, he made sure that we have means to go back to our hotel. Bus operator Roy was very skillful and accommodating. The drive on the winding road which seemed very challenging was done by him very safely and he made us feel comfortable.Both Gary and Roy made this tour memorable and enjoyable.Posted on Hannah SVerified Exciting itinerary, fun experiences, great tour guide I highly recommend Summer Travel Costa Rica to anyone looking for a guided tour around Costa Rica! They took care of the hotel, transportation to and from the airport, breakfast and lunch every day, and all of our tickets and admissions fees. Some of the mornings are early and some of the drives are long (bring a neck pillow and eye mask!) but our tour guide made sure that we were comfortable and had plenty of bathroom breaks. Lenny was our tour guide for most of the trip, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was knowledgeable, personable, funny, and easy to talk to! We had around 15 people on our tours, but Lenny did a great job making sure people in the back heard what she was saying. I was impressed with the trip itinerary; it was a great balance of time in nature, adventure, Costa Rican history, and relaxation. Request Lenny as a tour guide if you can!Posted on Doc RedfieldVerified Good tour; what's included incorrect The driver and tour guide were wonderful and very knowledgeable. The tour description says there was wifi and snacks were included. Neither were available. I was counting on both of those features.Posted on Ingelina NVerified Amazing day in Arenal Had the absolute best day in Arenal on this tour! Our amazing guide Hayro was super knowledgeable and so nice, making sure we got the most of our tour. We were lucky enough to see the Arenal volcano in all its glory with no clouds - majestic. Was also wonderful to see and swim in the La Fortuna waterfall. In the hanging bridge park Hayro pointed out several cool animals, and even lured out a red poison dart frog - so cool to see! The hot springs were great to relax in, would recommend a piña colada in the pool bar there! 10/10 experience!Posted on jaeden cVerified Highly recommend!! I had such a great time with this tour, it made my trip to Costa Rica so easy and fun. The hotel was great and all the staff and your guides were super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this option to anyone travelling to Costa Rica, it was well worth every penny!!Posted on Sebastiano Gior... CVerified Fantastic experience!
