Top Alajuela Walking Tours

Wow, wow, and more wow! Our guide and driver, Alex, curated a magical day of surprises and delights. We give him a solid 200 out of 10! He turned city traffic jams into an introduction to the geography and culture of Costa Rica using a map the entire van could see. What might look like a long drive in the description became a journey of discovery at each of Alex’s carefully chosen spots. Lunch and dinner were filling and delicious. We stayed on schedule without feeling rushed, with multiple stops to break up the trip. The landscape is unbelievably beautiful and well worth the drive. The Arenal volcano delivers - we even saw steam from yesterday’s eruption! The hot springs is a relaxing and beautiful place with a view of the volcano and pools surrounded with flowers, bamboo, and so much greenery. Waterfalls, animals, surprises, beauty, and fun - the perfect day withe the perfect guide.

We had such an amazing time on this tour, you definitely get your moneys worth! Our tour guide Steven was amazing. You could tell he loved his job with the way he shared the culture of Costa Rica on the ride to La Fortuna. We even made a stop to see sloths! He gave us picture recommendations and even took pictures for us as well! All of the stops were jaw dropping. The coffee, juice, snacks and meals were all delicious! The zipline was incredible, and the tour guides were amazing as well, made you feel safe and secure throughout the experience. The Maleku village demonstration was a great way to end the zipline! And the hot springs were the perfect way to end the adventure, a nice way to relax! Definitely book here for a once in a lifetime experience!

Very good tour, lots to do. Good local food included Be prepared for a long ride back and the traffic.

Alex is the best guide you could ask for! He is very attentive, sweet, caring, and funny. We enjoyed many stops to check out waterfalls, iguanas, birds, and some sloths. I recommend this tour to everyone! Thank you Alex for such a special day filled with smiles and laughs!

The tour was great! We were able to see three out of six sloths and saw other animals as well. The waterfall was beautiful but you could not get close to it. 10/10 recommend this tour.

Amazing time with Miguel and Felipe! They were very friendly and shared many interesting facts of Costa Rica. 10/10 recommend for everyone!!!

Our tour guide Steven was amazing, he was so informative on every place we stopped. He even stopped along side the road to see a sloth in a tree and also some birds. I would definitely recommend this tour. Also, the driver was so incredibly nice and did an amazing job at driving safe in the weather conditions.

Definitely worth the money and time. Alex Blanco was very knowledgeable and kept great energy. Ziplining was amazing! The waterfalls were beautiful.

Our guide was Alex and he was very kind and knowledgeable. Cautious but efficient driver too. The trip was great as we saw the capuchin monkeys in wild, such a peaceful and serene experience! Then went to a local restaurant and our food concern/choice was taken care of, without any problem. Monteverde forest was the highlight of the trip, with amazing guide there too. It was an amazing experience through the forest and hanging bridges.

Overall great day! Fernando did a great job communicating the tour itinerary and plan for the day, as well as providing us with cultural and historical facts about Costa Rica. Fernando coordinated dropping my group off for our zip line adventure while the remaining participants did something else. The soak at the hot springs was the perfect way to end the day! We had heavy rain for ~2 hours while we were driving, but it cleared up so our afternoon activities were dry.

Alex is a very friendly and good-humored guide. He was approachable and always seemed excited to answer questions and help each guest make the most of their experience.

Great road trip and guide! Alex explained so much and added in lots of insight to the local areas.

It has been a long day, but full of adventure and knowledge. Our guide, Ovi, has shared all his wisdom about the wildlife of Costa Rica with us. He has been very attentive and pleasant. We went to a coffee plantation and he told us about the coffee process in Costa Rica. Likewise, we ate wonderfully at a place with great views of the Arenal volcano. We also did zip lining and rappelling, and finally the hot springs. Ovi was a great, great, great guide; we would repeat without a doubt. It is clear that he knows a lot about Costa Rica and its nature.

The early wake up was well worth it for a full day of adventure! Our guide, Alaberto, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and shared insights about the area, terrain, and wildlife. He even took us to a few hidden gems throughout the park that we would have missed otherwise. Thank you for a great tour!

The guide Filipe was very knowledgeable and made sure we were all cared for. He was very attentive to our needs and made the tour truly enjoyable. The driver Frank drove us to each location safely.

We had a great experience! Shoutout to Oxaney (tour guide) and Ignacio (driver) who were super friendly and gave us a day to remember!We had a great time seeing animals, ziplining, hot springs. Good food. Drive through the mountains at night was calm despite all of the windy roadsPro tip: Bring some colones to give to the native population as well as tips for the guides!
