5.00Playa Grande Shuttle & Tours was wonderful to work with! Jose was a wonderful chauffeur during our day long excursion to Monteverde, the Cloud Forrest and lunch! Lunch at a local restaurant was a great experience and great food! They also did an amazing job arranging a photographer for us to take family photos on the beach! Highly recommend Playa Grande Shuttle & Tours for any travel needs in Costa Rica!

5.00I feel so lucky to have found Playa Grande Shuttles & Tours. We used several of their services during our recent trip to Costa Rica including a planning a day long itinerary with a driver as well as two tours and a return trip to the airport. Everything was great. They were highly responsive and very easy to work with. Thank you to the whole team!
Highly recommend!!!!

5.00This company was absolutely amazing to work with! In addition to the great communication and reliable service, our driver, Jose was one of the best! When I come back, I am absolutely requesting him and so happy I got to meet one of the nicest people out there! Of note, we used this service for multiple purposes on several days and the high-quality service was consistent.

5.00Our driver and guide, Jose, was great. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He was accommodating and very kind. WE felt very safe with him, which I think is important. Needless to say, he made our time that much better and was one of the favorite parts of our trip!
Playa Grande is AMAZING!

5.00Amazing vacation experience because of the tours arranged by Ariel and company! We had a four day, private driver/guide named José who took our family all over to our various planned excursions (national parks, waterfalls, snorkeling, ziplining, coffee tours) who became part of the family, with recommendations of traditional foods and translating for us. Already planning another trip next year and will definitely use Ariel and José again! Without a doubt, our favorite family vacation so far, and we have Playa Grande Tours to thank for it!
