Trip Advisor is one of the most trusted names in travel these days, and is a fundamental source for reviews and other information. However—it is also difficult to tell the difference between a specific company and a specific tour, as the rankings do not always distinguish between the two. After sorting through Trip Advisor to weed out any individual companies, the Shana Residences presents a list of the top 10 highest-ranked tours & activities in Manuel Antonio:
