We had an amazing experience with Gabriel’s Custom Tours! From start to finish, everything was seamless, well-organized, and truly unforgettable. Our private guide, Eugene, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. He took us from Tamarindo to Arenal, and the entire journey felt like part of the adventure rather than just transportation. Along the way, we got to see sloths up close, which was such a unique and memorable experience. The ziplining through the mountains was absolutely thrilling, with breathtaking views we’ll never forget. After that, Eugene brought us to relax in the hot springs, which was the perfect way to unwind after an active day. What really stood out was how personalized the whole tour felt. Eugene made sure we were comfortable, kept things flexible, and shared great insights about the area. Highly recommend Gabriel’s Custom Tours if you’re looking for a fun, stress-free, and memorable way to explore Costa Rica! P.s, thank-you Eugene for the delicious home-grown mango 😊

Our family of 9 ( ages 16-78 ) were welcomed and care for by Gabriel! From time we arrived at the Liberia Airport until we returned a week later, he was there to plan and schedule tours, drive us between locations, share history of the area, taught us about local flora and fauna and fast became our friend!! Gabriel truly made the difference as this was our first visit to Costa Rica ( certainly won’t be our last!! ) His kindess, professionalism and knowledge truly makes him the BEST OF THE BEST!! Even when we split up for a day, he recommended another driver who was also terrific! Thank you thank you thank you! Pura Vida!

Our tour was awesome!!! Our guide was Eugene and he has a wealth of knowledge. We discussed the culture (past and present) he knows the various plants and animals that are here. He also told us about the culture of the other surrounding countries, similarities and differences. He made sure we were well taken care of during our activities. We zip lined, rode horses, went on a long water slide, covered ourselves in mud and learned how sugar was refined in the old days. We did a lot but Eugene made us feel like there was no rush. It was very relaxed. Gabriel Tours is a must!!

Gabriel was a phenomenal Tour Guide! Pointed out things we would have never seen and was very accommodating. We really enjoyed our entire tour-Buffet breakfast at El Jardin, River tour and lunch, Wildlife Sanctuary tour. A tour with him is highly recommended as he is well-versed in the flora and fauna of his beautiful country! Thank you, Gabriel, for a wonderful and informative day!! We loved it!

Daniel and Gabriel where by far the best tour guide. Daniel is very funny, talkative and having a good time. Gabriel is CLUTCH. We didn’t have dinner one night and he offered to buy us pizza so we didn’t starve…. CLUTCH

First time in Costa Rica for my husband and I. We wanted to do different activities but we didn’t know where to start since there’s so much to do in Costa Rica. We found Gabriel’s tours online and based on his review we can say it was all true!!! What an amazing experience it was with him. Gabriel is super nice and knowledgeable about everything in Costa Rica. He was on time when he picked us up and always communicating with us via text or even calling us to make sure we were taken care of. He gave great suggestions. We spent two entire days with him. It was very comfortable being with him. The van he drives was roomy for our stuff that we carried to change between activities. I speak Spanish but my husband doesn’t and Gabriel was able to communicate with both of us. It was great! His English is great! But most of all he has a wonderful and kind attitude. Like we mentioned he picked us up early in the morning and even late at night dropping us off at our hotel he was still smiling! Even on our last day he even called us to make sure we made it on our flight safe and thanked us for hiring him. Now that’s great customer service! It’s always great to meet people like that when you are on vacation and doing tours it makes it a pleasant experience. If you are planning a trip to CR you MUST contact Gabriel. You won’t regret it!!! You will feel SAFE and you will enjoy the experience as he guides you through your tour! It was a wonderful experience. We will definitely be calling Gabriel for our next visit!

Gabriel made this experience complete!!! My husband and i spent the entire day with him and while the zip lining, horse back riding, water slide, mud bath, and hot springs were all so so so so much fun... i think we enjoyed it most because of Gabriel’s hospitality. From the get-go i could see Gabriel was just so kind and genuine and you just immediately like him and want to be friends with him forever! He was trustworthy with our things, courteous, so incredibly knowledgeable and just went out of his way to make sure it was the best experience we could ever imagine. He picked us up on time, provided interesting information on Costa Rica, told us about all the great places to go and eat, and even let us stop and buy souvenirs for our family. I noticed we knew a lot more about each activity we did for the day more so than other groups because Gabriel always gave us a run down of everything and how it would work and what we would do. I really appreciated that! I think what i loved most was how kind he was helping us learn the language and just him opening up and sharing about his beautiful family. He has an amazing life story. I’m so incredibly happy for him and he deserves the world. The world needs more Gabriel’s that’s for sure! We highly recommend Gabriel as a custom tour guide. He will help create one of the best tours you will ever experience! We loved it so much we scheduled a different tour with him for 2 days later! Pura Vida!
