Amazing Costa Rica!
This is the best tour group ever❣️Everything was beautifully planned. We would never have seen and done so many amazing and wonderful things without Greenways Nature Tours and our fantastic guide Alberto❣️ It is clear that Alberto loves his country, and his passion for nature made us love his country as well. Costa Rica 🇨🇷 is a beautiful place, a clean country, with wonderful people. The animals, plants, birds, and the countryside is simply amazing. We will return. We will use this tour company again, and, of course, we will request that Alberto to be our guide. Thank you Greenways❣️

The tour was fabulous. Our tour guide and bus driver were the best! They both were so good at spotting things even as we were driving. I mentioned that I really hoped to see a sloth and as I boarded the bus without seeing one, the tour guide called and said to come right back. He got held up for a minute when he found the sloth. The knowledge they shared about their country and the knowledge they had of plants, animals, birds was incredible. I would highly recommend them to everyone!

Great company and fantastic hosts
No words can describe how helpful, thoughtful and knowledgeable the employees of this company are. They truly made the visit to Costa Rica memorable and unique. I will certainly be in touch again as I had such a fantastic time and learnt so much. A genuine, hardworking owner who will go out of his way for customers.

Luis from Greenway Tours was nothing short of exceptional! He arrived on time with snacks/waters on board & confirmed our tour plans via WhatsApp the day before. Super knowledgeable about the area, giving us different historical info about many areas of Costa Rica that only a local would know. Weather was near perfect with GREAT views of the Volcano from the bridges and Bladi Hot Springs was just what we needed after hiking through the jungle. The buffet lunch had fruit & pasta options so veggies have food options. If possible, bring your own towel; rental is $10USD for a Towel but they return it once you bring the towel back. I normally take small group tours for the pricing, but if you are a couple or have a small group, take this tour and ask for Luis. Be prepared for 6hrs of travel (3hrs each way) but I wasn’t even bothered by the drive because Luis was so informative. Great job, Greenway Tours

Gerardo was great! He was friendly, communicative, and provided door to door service. We were in CR celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday. I was initially undecided about renting a vehicle. However, I am happy that I did not. The excursions were awesome and Gerardo helped take away potential stress. We were able to sit back, relax, and just have fun because he made us feel comfortable and safe. We definitely plan to book Gerardo for future travels to the country.
