5.00Great experience. They drove my my family and I from the Holiday Inn Express by the SJO airport to Dominical. They were professional and reliable. The van was comfortable and had a great AC that kept us at a perfect temperature. I would definitely use them again!

5.00Awesome! Guillermo was an excellent driver, very kind/accommodating, and let me pick his brain about all kinds of questions about Costa Rica and the culture. On top of that, they were very flexible with our flight delay and still picking us up for our shuttle to the hotel. Would definitely recommend!
Excellent ride from San José to La Fortuna.

5.00FANTASTIC! We had a group of 32 people and spent 3-4 days with Ariel & Charles and had an absolute blast. They were patient and kind. They were knowledgable and spontaneous. They were perfect! They took us to LaPaz, La Fortuna Hanging Bridges, ATV'ing and to 3 absolutely brilliant lunch stops. Bottom line, we have used them before and we will always use them! Stop your search and book these guys right now. They will be the best choice you made on this trip! Thanks again boys...see you soon and PURA VIDA!
