Great tour

There were Fred quite a few from our cruise that they had to have two buses for this tour. Arbus held 30 people that there was fifteen of us on the bus. We did everything that was included in the description. The place where we had lunch was really beautiful with scarlet macaws in the trees up above us. I would definitely recommend this, the groups are so much smaller than what you book from the cruise ship.

Puntarenas - Thumbs Up Tour is Wonderful
Bear
, Mar 2020
We had a group of 12 arriving by cruise ship to Puntarenas. I read about Thumbs Up Tours online at Trip Advisor. It seemed to cover more sites than just one or two of a cruise ship tour. It turned out to be the best excursion we had! Our tour guide “Jack” was awesome and so much fun. Not only did we see local homes & areas. We saw the rainforest, monkeys, parrots, took a boat ride & saw crocodiles & so many different species of birds. We went up a mountain for a wonderful lunch with a magnificent view watching colorful parrots flying by. It was a perfect sunny day. Everyone in my group kept thanking me for finding this tour. Don’t hesitate to book this one!

I give 5 stars for this excursion with Thumbs Up Tour (TUT) TUT arrived on time to pick us up in a air conditioning van. The guide Jac was excellent, funny and spoke in English. We were brought to a lot of places (whistle to attract monkeys in the jungle, stop at a fresh fruit store along the way, boat trip to see crocodiles and birds, had lunch at a restaurant on top of a mountain- what a view - and after stop at a souvenir store. Finish with a tour of the city. Highly recommend TUT!!!

It’s a well-worth-it trip to take the Puntarenas sightseeing tour. Had the chance to see quite a few wild lives, beautiful birds, huge crocodile... Lunch was great! The restaurant was located on top of the hill with panoramic view of the coast line. Beautiful place!
