Exceptional Private Transfer with Erick – Comfortable, Friendly, and Memorable!

5.00We recently hired Erick for private transportation from SJO to La Fortuna, and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made on our trip. From the moment we met him, Erick was incredibly friendly, professional, and polite. He speaks excellent English, which made communication smooth and easy throughout the drive. The vehicle he brought was very clean, spacious, and extremely comfortable—perfect for the journey. Erick was right on time and even made a thoughtful stop at a local restaurant that served one of the best lunches we had in Costa Rica! It felt more like traveling with a knowledgeable friend than just a driver. If you're looking for reliable, comfortable, and friendly transportation in Costa Rica, I highly recommend Erick and his company. We’ll definitely be using his services again next time!
Exceptional experience

5.00We had an exceptional experience using this company to transport us from the SJO airport to Los Lagos which is close to La Fortune. We could contact the company through WhatsApp just as we landed and the driver, Gerardo was ready to pick us up. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the country making the 3 hour trip seem short. Before we arrived at our destination he stopped at a small restaurant that had excellent food. This was the first time several people in our group were in Costa Rica so this made a very favorable first impression. He also knew where a mother sloth with its baby should be, and found them sleeping in a tree. This was a highlight of our trip!
Made our family trip easy!!

5.00From booking and confirmation to rescheduling and pickup, every step was managed with professionalism. The dispatcher went out of their way to accommodate my rescheduling request, even during peak season. The vehicles were spotless, and they provided water, neck pillows, and blankets in the van. The drivers are friendly, and their stops for coffee breaks and sightseeing along the way made the journey enjoyable and relaxed for my family! Highly recommended!!
Travel made easy!

5.00We used this service multiple times during our trip to Costa Rica! From SJO to La fortuna to Jaco. Drivers were on time (if not early) and super friendly. Awesome service!

5.00Our flight landed in a diff country and constant cancellations but the transport company was understanding. Edgar, our driver,was very patient as our flight was delayed and our luggage was lost. He met us at arrivals with our name sign and stopped at a mall, so we could get food and clothes (since the airline lost our suitcase). He was friendly, spoke English and was patient. Even held an umbrella over me while I feed my kids. Kind man. Easy communication with the company. I suggest calling their number for direct communication
Amazing tour! Carlos was amazing

5.00We had an excellent driver who made sure we were comfortable and had a fantastic introduciton to the country. He educated us a great deal on the culture, food and the people. He ensured we had a great meal half way through our trip. He ensured we got to our destination even when we faced a mechanical issue with the van, it was quickly fixed and we got back onto our desitination.
Best transportation service in the world

5.00I can’t tell you how pleased and impressed I was with Erick and this company as my transportation from San Jose to La Fortuna. I had some unexpected flight delays and Erick worked hard to make sure I got to my destination safely and quickly. He was a treasure to talk with on the ride and I ended up booking his company for my other two transports during my trip after that and all of my drivers were top tier, spoke English well and went above and beyond to teach me about their country. I wouldn’t give my money to any other transportation company in Costa Rica after working with Erick’s team.
Great trip

5.00I took a private transfer from my hotel to Hacienda Alsacia with Edgar. This was not a typical trip, but Costa Rica Trip Guide customized it for me. I felt safe and had a blast. Thank you so much Erick and Edgar!!!
