Hayek was an amazing driver/tour guide. He allowed us to make a few stops and sightsee. He was funny and very nice. Our reservation was for 3pm pickup and he was there early. We didn’t have to wait at all! Exceptional customer service and definitely would recommend!

Wonderful Ride!

Linda_M, Mar 2024
Wonderful ride from the Airport to Jaco Beach. Driver was just great! Definitely better than a taxi or bus ride would have been!

Best transport from/to SJO and hotel/condo

Joan_H, Mar 2023
Both of the drivers, Cosme and Roberto, were fantastic! They allowed us to stop at restaurant, supermarket, restrooms, souvenir shops, and a brief sightseeing at Crocodile Bridge. It was our first time in Costa Rica and they helped make the experience enjoyable from start to finish. Transport from/to SJO to/from hotel/condo.

Ride to Jaco

Martin_P, Jan 2023
They did not monitor my flight and adjust pickup. Had to wait almost 2 hours at airport. But when car came it was OK

Response from Host, Jan 2023

It was our mistake, sorry for the wait. We are going to work on those details to improve!

This is NOT a private transfer

Richard_G, Nov 2022
Don't let the misleading description trick you. This was NOT a private transfer when I signed up for it. I booked this since the experience is described as a private transfer, but it's shared shuttle that will leave without you if not there at the exact time, rather than waiting with a sign with your name like the other private transfer companies. Long story short is that I eventually ended up where I needed to go for some extra fees, and my driver was good. However, it was not as this experience describes. The operator is saying it's a mistake by Viator and that Viator signed me up for a shared shuttle when I booked this private experience.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Lamentamos la confusión, nosotros ofrecemos transporte compartido y privado. En tu reserva nos indicaron que era compartido en horario 2pm. Disculpas por la situación.

Wonderful and Friendly Driver

Nicole_B, Oct 2022
We enjoyed our ride to Jaco Beach. Our driver was friendly and very accommodating. He stopped at a local fruit stand along the way and introduced us to fruits we had never tried before. I would definitely use this service again.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thanks amigos!!! very good people, we love drive for you.

Great and Easy Experience

Jessica_M, Sep 2022
Finding the driver at the airport was a smooth and simple process! The vehicle was nice and air conditioned, and the driver was very accommodating (he even took us to a grocery store on our way to the Airbnb to pick up some essentials). Would recommend!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

We love you Jessica!!!

Terrible - no show

Twiggy_D, Apr 2022
Contacted company to advised we arrived and we were told the departure time was actually at 8 pm. 3 hours after the original booking. They promised to pick us up by 525 - no one showed up. I was also asked to fill in a customer service survey to be able to get my refund!?!?? Communication was good but experience was bad. Apparently this was viator s wrong doing because of time zone miscommunication?

Response from Host, May 2022

You know that you are saying NO is the truth, your reservation was later and you decided NOT to wait and we made the refund to your satisfaction. Please DO NOT LIE.

The shuttle bus is only 1...

Lishneris_V, Mar 2022
The shuttle bus is only 1 way even though the description includes a departure. You basically get dropped off and do your own thing. The place is beautiful and our driver was great, however charged us additional cost for everything else.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Thanks for you feedback!!!

Late and lost

PAUL_W, Jan 2022
Second time the Viator transportation was both late and lost. The drivers were patient and kind as well as good, safe drivers.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Vamos a trabajar en la logística.

Sjo to Jaco

JessicaG_S, Jan 2022
Arrived on time. Car had air conditioning and the driver was safe. Would like to have a slightly larger car but the car was completely fine. The driver knew the area and spoke English well.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Pura Vida Jessica!!! We here when you need our service
