Great guide, driver, and experience!

What an incredible experience. Filander was a wonderful tour guide (do yourself a favor and ask for him) and Cristian was a wonderful driver - both clearly love their beautiful country and want you to enjoy it as much as they do. We were fortunate and the clouds cleared for us to see the beautiful volcano from above and below where the main parking lot is. The rest of the tour was wonderful too. Highly recommended.

Great experience!!

Although the weather wasn't very good we had a great day. Our guide was very nice and knew a lot about the places we visited and their history. We were only a group of two persons so our guide arranged to our wishes. A warm jacket and a long trouser is a must have on the volcán:)

A Great Day Trip

My guide for the trip was Oscar. He was funny, warm, friendly and informative. I had wanted to go to Cartago City and this tour allowed me to do that. Afterward, we went to Irazu Volcano. It was cool to learn that it is the highest point in Costa Rica. Before the trip ended, we had lunch in Orosi Valley. It was a long drive to get there but worth it. It was beautiful and serene.

Seeing the craters of the Irazu Volcano and being able to visit some of the historic buildings in Cartago. The food was fantastic too. Definitely will book with DestinyTravel in the future and our tour guide was amazing!

Fantastic tour!

I've never booked an official tour before--I typically like to explore on my own, but I can't emphasize enough how great this tour was! Our guide clearly loved his job and he was knowledgable and friendly (and funny!)--his energy was absolutely joyful! Besides the volcano, we got to visit landmarks and see parts of the country that we would have probably never seen on our own, and the lunch spot was perfect and delicious. The volcano itself was stunning--not as much hiking as I had expected, as the path is just on one side of the main crater, but it was serene and awe-inspiring, and we were given plenty of time to appreciate it. There were also several stops and surprises along the drive, and the fact that they picked us up and dropped us off right in front of our AirBnb rental was incredibly convenient. It was mine and my friend's last full day in Cost Rica, and it couldn't have been any better. :)
