We will provide you with personalized and professional services by a well-trained, enthusiastic and friendly chauffeur/guide who genuinely wishes to make your holiday experience or business trip as enjoyable as possible.
IMPORTANT***
Our priority is always to provide a safe, trained, certified and whenever possible bilingual driver. Fortunately & unfortunately we are almost fully booked during your travel dates, therefore we are out of availability for bilingual drivers. However, even the non-bilingual drivers will understand basic English commands such as bathroom or grocery stops, they can also always use the translator through our van WIFI or call our office for extra assistance. Please note that this does not put down 100% the possibility of your driver for the day being bilingual as we could encounter cancellations or calendar modifications that will free our current schedule.

Outstanding Private Tour Outfitter and native Costa Rican small company

5.00Ariel and his team were wonderful to work with. After receiving my private tour request by email, Ariel and his associate Salem telephoned me and spent a lot of time explaining the many options available and helped me fine tune the experience to best match my family's needs. I appreciated their patience and genuine concern for making the experience the best it could possibly be. We also used Playa Grande Shuttle & Tours for airport transfers. They were prompt, easy to find, and supplied us with much needed refreshing beverages after a long day of traveling. The vans used for our trips were exceptionally clean and well maintained and the drivers were very friendly and helpful. As a travel advisor, I'll be recommending this company to all of my Costa Rica clients. Not only do they do an outstanding job, the use of a local company help to support the native economy.

5.00Contacted them for private transport between Monteverde and Jaco, then Jaco and San Jose. Stops along the way if needed for bathrooms and pictures. Great drivers Justin and Marlon who told us about the areas we passed through. Had water and drinks ready on board, very clean cars and on time. Fabulous service!
