The Perfect Trip, Planned Perfectly!

5.00Travel Tropical Tours is amazing! They customized our tours just for the four of us, and we got in every single thing we wanted. It was flawless, and having the owner, Greiven with us the entire time was unbelievable. He has so much knowledge. Staying in communication with What's App was perfect, as we could share information immediately. The food was fabulous ( they really know the restaurants!), the accommodations were fabulous, and the private driver, David was excellent. We can't say enough about how wonderful they are to work with ( and travel with!)
Great adventures with an excellent tour company

5.00The views were beautiful! Grevin was a wonderful guide, and Miguel navigated the driving magnificently. They offered great tips on awesome restaurants and were always available to take us anywhere we wanted to go. Sarah was a pleasure to work with in designing our vacation package. We enjoyed both sides of the country with ziplining, hanging bridges, hot springs and volcano, as well as the beaches, waterfalls, the national park, and a great time on the catamaran sunset cruise on our last evening there. I got terrible pain with kidney stones while there and they even went and brought me medication. And we are not hikers but wanted to see the beautiful sights, so they offered assistance and walking sticks to make the treks more doable for us. Wonderful company to work with!!😃
Excellent Private Tour in Costa Rica

5.00We had an excellent Costa Rica experience with Travel Tropical Tours. Sarah made arrangements for our group of 9 Canadians to explore the areas around La Fortuna and Monteverde for 6 days. With her expert advice and planning we had fantastic accommodations and plenty of adventures arranged for us. Our tour included a stay at Baldi Hot Springs, a sloth walk, tour of Arenal Volcano National Park, a night tour at Mistico hanging bridges, a guided tour of Curi Cancha Nature reserve, a chocolate and coffee tour, ziplining at Treetopia, ending with a bioluminescence and mangrove kayak tour. Our guide Greivin and driver Gerson were exceptional, they were the perfect match for our enthusiastic group. They kept us organized and safe, while making sure that we were having the best experiences possible. Their recommendations for food establishments and additional activities were top notch. A special shout out to Gerson for his expert driving skills on some very challenging roads. Cost Rica is so beautiful with so much to see - this private tour exceeded our expectations and allowed us to see much more than we would have been able to on our own. Thank you so much for everything!!
Incredible!

5.00This by far has been our most incredible family vacation. We went with our three children, 14, 11, and seven. We had a personal driver, Miguel, and a personal guide, Jeanfred. We worked directly with Sarah who personalized an amazing adventure. We were met at the airport and every step of vacation we felt safe and cared for. Anything that we needed or any questions that we had Sarah was able to answer within hours. We planned our trip in a matter of five weeks and Sarah got us to do all the things that we wanted to do. We could not be more grateful having a personalized tour driver, and a guy is like nothing else! Miguel and Jeanfred knew all the stops, had incredible eyes and showed us all their country had to offer. Look no further than travel tours! You will not be sorry.

The BEST TRAVEL EXPERIENCE EVER!!! 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

5.00I wish I could give Travel Tropical Tours 10 stars!!!! When I tell you this company completely changed our entire trip for the better, in EVERY WAY!!! I reached out blindly from a previous post years ago in a Facebook travel group, looking for a referral and lo and behold Sarah shared she and her partner have their own company now. She jumped in 100% and curated a perfectly tailor fit timeline of experiences that included ALL of our wants: Manuel Antonio, the beach, white faced monies, crocodiles, Kayaking, Ziplining, amazing Volcanoes views, sunset dinners, hanging bridges, hiking, the world's largest hot springs...omg so relaxing, & Sloths!!!!! We were promised sloths & they delivered!!! Mind you this was the literally THE DAY BEFORE our trip and almost everything was sold out. But she worked her magic, secured reservtions and that was just the beginning. Once we started on our journey, her partner took amazing care of us...it was like being with family. We felt safe and genuinely well cared for. I am a DRIVER, professionally...and when I say the driver was amazing from 6am to midnight and every turn in between! We are a family of 6, myself, my Hubby and our 4 adult sized kids...and the entire time I was really able to enjoy myself with peace of mind that we were in good hands. I even took them on a mission to find this one restaurant in San Jose that I found online...and they were such great sports. Heck even when my kids annoyed me I had a great time with our amazing tour guide Grei, what a gem! The only improvement I'd say is we had to pay in cash and for a party of 6 that was more cash than I was used to traveling with abroad. But it was worth every penny. I am highly confident Sarah gave us a wonderful package price with 5 star value and quality!! Now I just need them to expand to every country I wish to travel to...I'd literally come back to Costa Rica just to have more adventures with Travel Tropical Tours! I cannot thank you all enough...flying in from NY, DC and Dallas, Texas...it was our only time to be together this Summer because of our hectic & conflicting schedules...my heart is full. Muchas gracias!

5.00Sara organized a wonderful tour full of fun and exciting activities. Gervin was an awesome guide who was very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Our driver Miguel was an experienced driver who made us feel confortable and safe. The staff made us feel very welcomed like family. I highly recommend Torppical tours to anyone who wants to experience the best adventure in Costa Rica.

5.00The tour was fantastic! From Monte Verde, Manuel Antonio, to Corcovado, everything was well organized and all of our travel needs were met. I especially loved the boat tour in Corcovado. Thank-you, Sara and Greivin, for such a wonderful experience!
Amazing adventure

5.00Sara is so helpful. Our private group of 6 had the perfect adventure. It all started with Sara using us about our interest and then she helped us find a tour that met those interests. When we arrived they were right there to get us and off we went. From the driving to the hotels and handling the luggage we felt like queens. Gervin is the best guide, he knows his home country. I can't recommend them enough, it was all truly special.
