What are people saying about San Jose

Private Shuttle from San Jose airport to Marriot Los Suenos Herradura

Teresa_B, Apr 2026

Well worth it!

Given that the Marriott Vacation Club is quite a distance from the airport and we are not familiar with CR traffic / roads, it was well worth having a private shuttle bring us to the hotel. Nice way to begin our CR vacation! Excellent driving and service by Carlos! Highly recommend this company.

Volcano, Waterfalls, Zipline, Hot Springs Full Day Tour

Andrea_A, Apr 2026

Literally Everything!

Fernando was an awesome guide. Thoughtful, informative and kind. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our excursion. We enjoyed great coffee, saw beautiful birds, iguanas and a sloth that showed out!!! It was moving soooo much lol. We’d definitely do it again in a heartbeat! Thanks, Fernando!

Wildlife Refuge La Paz Waterfall Gardens Day Trip from San Jose

Jason_R, Mar 2026

Best tour of our vacation thanks to Harlan!

This was our best tour of our vacation! The park was fantastic, but as most of you already know, it's your guide that can make it a very special day. Our guide Harlan was beyond fabulous! He was extremely knowledgeable, kept us on pace and had an excellent way of providing both history, details of the park and making us laugh at the same time. He had the added task of speaking both spanish and english the entire tour and perfectly balanced this between our family and the other family. If you are lucky enough to have him as your guide, consider yourself blessed! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone considering it.

Adventure

Excellent experience if you are up for adventure! All the drivers and guides were great, informative, and helpful. Hotel staff was great. Would definitely encourage anyone to go. Know that you need to be able to walk a lot and often up and down steep hills. You need to be flexible as weather and traffic can change things. You will be doing a lot of traveling and often through steep curvy roads. Great Experience

Lovely tour to some spots just outside of San Jose

A great full day tour to some highlights outside of San Jose. We went to Irazu Volcano, but didn't spend much time due to the weather. We saw a few scenic vistas and then visited the Basilica which was beautiful. Then a delicious lunch and the Ruins of Ujarras!

Private Direct: SJO Airport to/from Manuel Antonio Quepos (1 Way)

Gabriel_C, Jan 2026

Excellent service, highly recommended

Great experience overall. Our flight was delayed, and the driver waited patiently for us (sorry about that 😅). He was with his wife, and they had water bottles waiting in the van. They also showed us the crocodile bridge and kindly helped us stop to buy some groceries before dropping us off at our hotel.

10/10 Adventure

Amazing experience great staff at the adventure place. We did horseback and ATV. Although nothing on the company but the girl in front of us during ATV kept taking selfies and holding us up. Again nothing on the company but maybe restrict people from being on their phones during ATV. Again great place. Great customer service and attention detail. We had a blast.

Informed us of the pickup...

Informed us of the pickup location. The driver was waiting for us at the Airport with a name sign. The driver was very courteous and pleasant. The vehicle was clean and had two bottles of cold water for us. The drive of 1.5 hrs was very smooth with safe driving.

Bran_R, Aug 2025

Beyond incredible, fantastic doesn’t even begin to describe it

This was honestly one of the best tours I’ve ever done in my life. From start to finish, everything was smooth and so well organized. We felt supported and taken care of throughout the entire experience. Our guide most days was Lenny, and she was absolutely incredible. She had an amazing depth of knowledge and shared so much with us. On top of that, she went above and beyond by taking us to a few extra spots along the way and even making it possible for me to fly my drone. Her expertise, kindness, and great personality really made this tour unforgettable. The logistics were also flawless—pick-up and drop-off were seamless, always punctual, and perfectly managed. The days could be long, with some early mornings and late evenings, but as long as you’re well rested (and you can even catch some sleep on the drives), you’ll be able to enjoy every moment. Overall, I cannot recommend this tour enough. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed, and Lenny truly made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you have the chance, don’t hesitate—this is a tour you won’t regret!
