Great Fun
Our driver Diego was great! He stopped at some cool look out spots along the way and was very knowledgeable of the area. Our guide Helen for the AatV tour was great and we had a blast. The chocolate tour with Heidi and Kia were FANTASTIC!! It was so intresting and cool to see the beginning to end proccess and be able to eat it all along the way. Will absolutely do it again next time I'm in Costa Rica!

Perfect Experience with a Day Trip
It’s an activity well worth the money with an outstanding guide like Hayro! Hayro’s vast knowledge of all locations visited was truly impressive. His pride in his country and being able to so eloquently share this with tourists make him a perfect travel guide. The volcanoes were shrouded in fog at the time of visit but the visit at Lancaster and the lunch at Lake Cachi more than made up for the weather situation around the volcanoes. We can highly recommend
this day trip.

A Must for any Costa Rica Trip
We had a great experience! Shoutout to Oxaney (tour guide) and Ignacio (driver) who were super friendly and gave us a day to remember!
We had a great time seeing animals, ziplining, hot springs. Good food. Drive through the mountains at night was calm despite all of the windy roads
Pro tip: Bring some colones to give to the native population as well as tips for the guides!

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.

Wonderful tour but take caution if you’re not in shape!
This is absolutely a must do activity in Costa Rica. They have 11 ziplines and 2 rappels which seem scary but they’re super fun, and the views are wonderful. The guides were really kind and friendly and moved at our pace, especially because the walk up is pretty exhausting for someone who isn’t naturally athletic. The one thing I didn’t like was that even though they do have an emergency brake, they had us brake/slow down with our right arm, which often meant the line pulled our arms back quite a bit especially when going fast. I think that possibly pulled a muscle in my arm, and I was extremely sore for several days. Be warned - if you’re not in shape, the hike is rough, and be careful when braking with your arm.

The transfer was...
The transfer was effortless, stress free. The van was comfortable. Our driver was fantastic, and we had a great time together. He helped us with car seats from his home. There was also a wonderful stop in the middle where we could get some supplies, refresh ourselves, enjoy some sweet pineapple, and even see crocodiles.

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.

If you’re traveling to...
If you’re traveling to Costa Rica and need a driver, I cannot recommend Randal enough!
He was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Not only was he reliable and professional, but he made our entire experience so much more enjoyable. Randal is incredibly knowledgeable about Costa Rican culture and shared so many interesting facts with us along the way.
What really stood out was how he went above and beyond—he made extra stops at beautiful spots so we could take pictures and truly enjoy the scenery. We originally booked him just for a ride from the airport to our hotel, but we liked him so much that we hired him again to take us to La Fortuna.
He even offered to bring us to an incredible animal sanctuary and acted as our personal tour guide—it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip!
I truly can’t say enough good things about Randal. If you want someone who is kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your experience, he’s your guy!

Olger is the Best!!
Wow! What an amazing time we had at Curicancha! Our guide Olger was so wonderful, he taught us so much about his culture and the history of Monteverde all while listening to and showing us the birds of the forest! He shared the Spanish names for some of the birds we saw and even we we couldn’t see some birds he told us about their calls and showed us what they looked like in his book. He was kind, enthusiastic, and very fun. We had the most enjoyable and relaxing time.

Good price great service
Tour operator was very responsive and was able to provide me all the info I needed. I was in a flight delay and busy immigration situation and the tour operator was in contact with me all the time and could confirm with me if the shuttle will still wait as there are other passengers and we want to be mindful of their time. In the end, I made it as they waited for me and that really made my day. The driver was kind and his driving was safe. Would use volcano travel again!

Sjo to Airbnb
Gio was an excellent driver! He picked us up from the San José airport and brought us to our Airbnb, even stopping at a gas station along the way so we could grab food and use the restroom. He answered all our questions about the area, offered helpful advice, and played great music. A perfect start to our vacation!

Good program, highly recommended
Firstly we enjoyed the program a lot. Each day’s activity is well arranged and organised. Hotel is good. Bear in mind as it is based in San Jose, thus some day it needs long hour travelling to the destination.
Secondly, there are some days activities we really enjoyed such as poas volcano, rafting, zap line, etc. highly recommended.
Thirdly although we had a small issue on last day transportation, but the agent was very helpful and sorted out efficiently.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Landing in San Jose and being confronted with a slew of cab drivers and transportation options can be an intimidating prospect. Prebooking your ride from the airport to your accommodation or vice versa with San Jose travel and transportation services takes the hassle out of the whole experience. A private driver easily picks you up at the prearranged time, ensuring a smooth ride to your destination.
