We booked this tour with our travel rep in our hotel (CC Papagoya) after looking at several options. We had a full day from 7.30 AM until 8.30 PM. Our trip also included a 2.5 hour stop at a hot spring where we also enjoyed a nice lunch (Paradise Hot Springs) our guide, Stevens and our driver Peter made the almost three hour drive quite interesting. It was clear that our enjoyment was their top priority as they went out of their way to ensure we saw and experienced as much as we could. On our hike through the forest at the volcano we had many groups run by us as we searched and learned about our surroundings. We were clearly there to enjoy the experience, not run through the trails. After we left the hot springs we stopped in La Fortuna for a very brief visit. This little city is definitely worth a days visits with restaurants and shops galore. We left there and just about sunset we pulled off the road into a family run restaurant. Great meal and friendly hosts. From there we headed back to our hotel. It was more like a day out with friends then a paid tour. Thanks Stevens and Peter, we will definitely look you up on our next visit.
