点评:We are extremely happy to have booked with Ficus Tours, a family owned and operated business! Our guide, Roger, has many years of guiding experience. His in depth knowledge comes from a genuine love for his subject. We quickly learned that this is a passion he pursues even when he is not “working”.
If you are looking for a personalized, small group guided experience, Roger and Flor, owners of Ficus Tours, intentionally work to keep the size of the groups they lead small. They don’t participate in combining groups with other agencies in order to get the numbers up. For our trip to Corcovado, it was just the two of us with Roger. Roger was able to tailor the walk to seek out what was of most interest to us as well as showing us many other wildlife species native to Corcovado. Other tour companies had as many as 6, 8, or 10 people in their groups. This meant they moved more slowly through the forest; participants had to wait their turn to look through the spotting scope to view birds and animals they came upon.
Another rewarding feature for us was our opportunity to get to know Roger on a more personal level, not only as a gifted naturalist, but also as a proud and loving husband & father. This is our first visit to Costa Rica and we’re quickly falling in love with the country as well as the people we encounter along the way! Thank you Roger for being a wonderful guide and our new friend!
翻译:我们非常高兴预订了Ficus Tours,这是一家家族企业!我们的导游Roger拥有多年的导游经验。他渊博的知识源于对导游行业的真挚热爱。我们很快发现,即使在“工作”之外,他也对这份热爱保持着不懈的追求。
如果您正在寻找个性化的小团导游体验,Ficus Tours的老板Roger和Flor会特意保持小团规模。他们不会为了增加人数而与其他旅行社合并团队。我们这次去科尔科瓦杜的旅行,只有我们两个人和Roger。Roger能够根据我们的需求定制行程,探索我们最感兴趣的景点,并向我们展示科尔科瓦杜杜的许多其他野生动物。其他旅行社的团队人数多达6人、8人甚至10人。这意味着他们在森林中行进的速度会更慢;参与者必须等待轮到自己时才能通过观鸟镜观察遇到的鸟类和动物。
另一个让我们感到欣慰的是,我们有机会更深入地了解罗杰,他不仅是一位才华横溢的博物学家,更是一位充满爱心、引以为豪的丈夫和父亲。这是我们第一次来哥斯达黎加,我们很快就爱上了这个国家以及沿途遇到的人们!感谢罗杰,他是一位出色的导游,也是我们的新朋友!
