Our family recently traveled to Costa Rica for the first time. We have two daughters ages six and eight. We really wanted to explore the natural beauty of the country, but were hesitant to do so in a large group (we didn’t want to slow anyone down).
Another family at our hotel suggested we reach out to Damian for a private tour. And it was the best decision we made on our trip!!!
He organized three days of tours for us after asking us what types of experiences we were interested in. He took us hiking thru the rain forest to hidden waterfalls, lounging in semi private hot spring pools, sliding down river rock slides, trekking across hanging bridges, white water rafting, and for the most epic sunset views.
Everything was age appropriate, and he was incredibly kind and accommodating of us when we needed to make extra stops for the bathroom and snacks (ice cream stops!!). One day, our daughter spiked a fever in the middle of the tour, and he immediately helped us get her meds and made sure she was comfortable for the rest of the day.
In addition to being kind and accommodating- he’s insanely knowledgeable about the country and it’s wildlife. He is from the US but has been guiding in CR for 25 years- so he has A LOT of experience!! we learned so much during our time with him!!
Damian helped us discover the beauty and magic of Costa Rica that we definitely would not have found if we were on our own… and I think would have been lost on big, group tours.
I enthusiastically recommend this company (especially Damian!!) and he will be the first person we call when we return!!
