We felt as though we got good value from beginning to end. The attractions themselves were great, particularly Poas. While I understand the need to cover both Spanish and English and Donald did a good job with it, I found it distracting. It is what it is. We have traveled a fair amount and taken a number of tours and would say that we have felt more warmly welcomed and engaged by the guide, especially in a relatively small group. The necessary accommodation of the breakouts of the half day and full day tours was bumpy in that we sat for a bit in a little store waiting form pickup to return to hotel. Clearly it was efficient for the operator to do it that way, but didn't see that coming. Would I do it again? Maybe, but would suggest looking at all operators, but note that sometimes they are all the same.
