Amazing Experience! – I booked the Rio Celeste and Heliconias Hanging Bridges tour through their website for a group of 4 friends. Yeudy communicated clearly what we should expect prior to the tour… continue date. Our guide David was amazing! He was so attentive and did everything possible to ensure that we had a great experience, which we did. He was so knowledgeable and we learned so much about nature during our tour. I would definitely recommend this experience. It was a must for us and we think it’s worth checking out!
Yeudy (Jodi as he likes to be called for us English speaking folks), was absolutely phenomenal! Very engaging, and we feel like we got a costa Rican education on the… continue way to zip lining and the hot springs. It was my wife and I’s 30 th wedding anniversary and Yeudy made it a very special day. Surprisingly to us, he made arrangements with the bar tender near the hot springs to set up a small area overlooking the hot springs, with a bottle of champagne and balloons congratulating us on our 30 th! What a guy! I think he was equally excited about the surprise as we were! Going to add some photos so you can see what a great experience this was. Highly recommend and will be sending tourists his way. Thanks again Yeudy for making this a special day. Oh, almost forgot, he even stopped on the way back to Dreams BC he spotted a family of Holler monkeys playing in the trees—got a lot of nice pics from that random surprise.
Great Morning ATV with Tony and Roy – We had a great morning exploring with Tony and Roy. They were both so informative and friendly. We saw a lot of wildlife and learned a lot about the history… continue of the area. At all times, we felt safe. I would definitely recommend this tour!! My whole family (family of 6) would agree!!
Amazing time! – We had an excellent tour during our trip. Yuedy was very responsive when scheduling and very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. We did the jungle river boat ride… continue and sloth tour. We saw a variety of animals and got to see the sloths up close! We enjoyed hearing about the culture and history of Costa Rica. We would definitely do another trip with Best Tours.
Highly Recommend – I would highly recommend this tour experience when visiting Costa Rica. Although it wasn’t a historical tour, Yuedy was very knowledgeable about Costa Rica and gave us some historical data… continue as we drove along. He was very kind, patient and personable. He provided a tour for me and 47 of my closest friends lol. We were transported in a comfortable tour bus with air conditioning and soft seats. The ride was smooth and we got to the Hot Springs with plenty of time to enjoy ourselves. Yeudy and the rest of the staff didn’t rush us, we each had an opportunity to fully enjoy the experience. .
A family of 5 with young kids and their grandparents, staying at Dreams Las Mareas. – Months before our family trip to Dreams Las Mareas resort, I reached out to several tour companies for excursions. While the resort also had excursions available, we opted to hire… continue someone from a local family run operation that could offer more personalized service and had prompt communication; someone that seemed like they would go above in beyond with their services. Enter Yeudy with Best Tours Costa Rica. His business name says it all! From the time he met us at the resort and throughout our entire day with him, he was extremely accommodating (and patient) considering we had our 3 children and their grandparents with us. We bombarded Yeudy with all sorts of random questions from the start, from questions about CR to the sites and sounds and literally everything in between, and he happily answered everything and conversed with us and the kids all day long. We did the waterfall, river float, and natural bridges tour which included a traditional CR lunch which he joined us for and also arranged for us ahead of time, so needless to say we didn’t have to plan anything once we booked with him. We ALL had a wonderful time with Yeudy and were really appreciative of his efforts to ensure we had a good time while also staying hydrated and satiated with the drinks and snacks he provided. I have Yeudy now stored in my contacts, and without a doubt would hire him again or recommend him to anyone coming out this way. CR already had a special place in our hearts, and getting to know locals like Yeudy is a big part of the reason why. Pura vida!
Excellent wildlife guide! – Yeudy is an excellent guide. We hiked Sendero 99 at Santa Rosa National Park with him. Thanks to Yeudy, we saw leks of long-tailed manakins in two different locations, plus… continue male and female curassows, coatis and capuchin monkeys. It was a wonderful exerience. Highly recommend!
