Reviews
The Orosi portion. Yeah....there was goood points and their was bad points. The stop in to see the church was gorgeous, one should see it.
HOWEVER: They drop you off six blocks from the church so that you have to walk to it. No problem there, I don't mind the walk. What I DID mind was the "forced death march". You are walking past six blocks worth of interesting little shops and stuff, and they are rushing you so that you don't get to stop in and look around. I would have liked to stop in and look around.
The lunch by the lake in Orosi: The food was "meh", the coffee was great, and the picturesque view was spectacular. Great place to take a photo as a couple. Like, seriously beautiful.
The Lankester church was interesting, although its graveyard was also interesting. I also felt rushed there.
The Lankaster plant place was pretty. My wife loved it. I didn't care about it in the slightest and was bored to death. I don't care about plants.
Overall this is a good tour, but is way too 'rushed', they don't let you stop and smell the roses or see the sights.
Not a bad tour. This is one of the most interesting places around of San Jose, while there is no access to Poas and Turrialba.
In the orchid garden of Lankester in late February, orchids were very few. The park itself is beautiful
Lunch was average and not as tasty as other local restaurants we tried on different tours.
Antonio, however, is a nice, knowledgeable guide and careful driver.
We enjoyed his company, although he is a bit slow paced and old fashioned for young, energetic people like us.
We feel like he would be a better match for people aged 50+, who enjoy to take it slow and not walk too much.
Overall, we feel this tour is overpriced for what it offers.
