Charles is the man! He helped every step along the way with planning and delivering the best experience in Costa Rica for us. We were a family of 14, ranging from 2 years old to75 years old, he knew how to interact with everyone. He made us feel welcomed and was extremely insightful and cheerful. He took us all over the country from San Jose-La Fortuna-Monteverde-Playa Conchal. We don’t do repeat trips but we are definitely coming back to Costa Rica and one of the main reasons is because of Charles and his great company.
The best Costa Rica transportation company for hire

Charles is the man! From pre-booking, to payment, pick up, drop off, and all the stops in between. I have never experienced such luxury and personality in a "transportation" company before. I put that in air quotes because what Charles provides is so much more than that. Get ready for great conversation, impeccable service, and good times. Hiring Charles was the best decision of our trip. If you are reading this, stop reading and start booking. We miss you Charles!
Amazing experience with the perfect, trustworthy driver!

Superb service- Charles was amazing from the beginning of planning across the country throughout our trip - arrival to the end. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the country, highly trustworthy and ensured that we enjoyed our family time in Costa Rica. He prides himself and his company on quality service and certainly stood by his word. I'd come back again with no hesitation to use him as our travel service- airport, tour, etc.

Charles always replied to my messages even in the night! And he was always on time! He also created great atmosphere in van, he arranged everything before the journey and he helped with all unexpected situations. Thank you is not even enought for all his help. We can't wait for next adventure!

My group and I had the most incredible experience with Baqueno transport. They were extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with. Our van was very clean, comfortable and pristine. Our Driver “JP” Juan Pablo is amazing. He was an excellent tour guide during our drive back and forth! I will be using these folks again and JP is our guy!!
Great 😃

We booked with Charles Forbes for a few trips to get around Costa Rica for our honeymoon. If we had known how amazing the service was going to be, we would have used them for ALL of our transportation. Booking was easy via email, and Charles was always prompt and clear. Charles does his utmost to make sure each trip isn't just a taxi ride, he turns into an opportunity to see something along the way that you may have missed otherwise. It turns an arduous journey into an enjoyable day. Yes, he isn't the cheapest, but his price is reflected in his service. There isn't a better service in Costa Rica. His thoughtfulness and experience shows in how he plans the journeys keeping both practicality and comfort in mind. Even customising the cool box contents for our next trip from things we had discussed on the last one. At the end of your journey, Charles has created an experience that feels like you've met up with a friend who's showing you his country.
Great Trip from Guanacaste to Puerto Vijejo

Best experience and worth every dollar spent and then some! We booked this trip to Costa Rica with very little lead in time, and could not rent a car, so we realized we needed car and driver service from point A to B to C and so on. After a bit of research, we found Baqueano Tours. The communication with owner Charles prior to the trip already brought us a sense of ease and comfort. He was knowledgeable, helped us choose destinations, provided exact information about times and places, and made the payment process easy. Once we got here, we were treated to first-class cars and drivers who did not just arrive on time, but early. The drivers were flexible, friendly, expert and flexible with any/all requests. I cannot say enough about our positive experiences here! And driving is no easy task in Costa Rica. There are rough roads in places, no shoulders sometimes, and people who rented cars told us of the need to add insurance. Once you are in destinations, getting around is relatively easy, so with service like this available, you can see many destinations hassle free. Not to mention, you can be a spectator, take a nap, and arrive refreshed at your destinations. I’m not sure if all car & driver experiences in Costa Rica or elsewhere would be this convenient and positive, but I can tell you, as a former travel industry professional, Baqueano Tours is a top-notch operation!
