What To Expect

Province of Guanacaste

Get ready to experience the most complete craft beer tasting tour in Costa Rica, and immerse yourself in our beer and beach culture. Try some of the finest locally crafted beer and experience ‘pura vida’ like a local. Visit three local craft breweries located in the most popular beaches and towns of Guanacaste. Breweries vary based on pickup location. Taste between fruity pale ales, dark coffee or chocolate stouts, ginger beer, and traditional IPAs. Guests will try up to 12 styles of beers, learn about the local area, and beer culture. All you need to do is enjoy the beer. Meet the brew masters, tour the brewery, and end the day with a sunset on the beach (literally) – Great picture moment! Final stop is at a beachfront brewery and restaurant where guests can enjoy an evening meal and listen to live music. By the end of this experience, you will feel like a local (and probably a brew master), but most importantly you will know what it is to live ‘pura vida’ in Costa Rica.

Pura Vida Vibes, Great Beer & Incredible Guides

This craft beer tour was truly the highlight of our time in Costa Rica! Ian and Patsy were fantastic guides - personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. They were exactly the kind of guides that you hope for and their vibe made the day both engaging and relaxed. Their passion for craft beer and the local scene really came through, and they created a welcoming atmosphere from they picked us up. The logistics were seamless, allowing us to fully enjoy the variety of brewery experiences, including behind-the-scenes tours that gave great insight into Costa Rican brewing specifics. The hospitality throughout the tour was exceptional, and after drinking Imperial, it was so refreshing to enjoy a hoppy IPA again! We will absolutely be back for more tours with CR Limo & Travel Company and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these experiences to anyone visiting Costa Rica who appreciates great beer and great company. Pura Vida 🍻

The tour was an incredible experience of Costa Rican craft brewery scene. Patzy was an amazing guide, so knowledgeable, and a very fun person to have in our tour. All the brew masters we met were also great. So passionate about their craft. And best of all. The beers were so so good. Definitely a must-do trip if you’re in Costa Rica
Wonderful day with great people!

This tour was a highlight for us for sure as it was a big part of why we chose Costa Rica. Ian and Patsy were wonderful guides. My boyfriend who is also an Ian, was like a kid at Christmas learning about the breweries and we both had the best time. By the end of the tour you really do feel like you made two new friends in Ian and Patsy. They are just genuine, sincere, wonderful humans who we were very grateful to have met during our time in Costa Rica. Highly recommend this tour/company. Pura Vida!
Unique tour with really fun guides!

We loved our tour with Ian. He treated us like we were old friends, tailored the tour to our interests, and gave us so many tips for our next trip. The tour itself was fun and a great way to see new parts of Costa Rica. I wish we had taken the tour at the beginning of our trip and not on the last day. We would have signed up for more tours with the team!
Brewery tour done right.

The tour guides were prompt and friendly. They spoke excellent English and eased any language issues. The breweries we went to all had good beer and at most of them we were able to meet and talk to either the owner or brewer. We spent a lot of time talking about the differences and challenges of brewing in Costa Rica. By the time we were at the last brewpub it felt more like we were hanging out and drinking with friends.
