Service was on time and...

Trevor_M, Feb 2024

Service was on time and driver was pleasant and helpful. Traffic getting out of San Jose is very heavy and it took a good 4 hours to our location.

Recommended!

The vehicle was very comfy, and we had a great experience with our driver, Eduardo. Picked up and arrived on time with a couple of scenic stops along the way for photos.

It was a 2.5 hour drive through beautiful countryside. We stopped midway and saw crocodiles in the wild and amazing fruit. Everyone was so nice! Our driver was very nice and friendly.
