Surcos Tours is great...reliable, knowledgeable (we had Andres as our guide), friendly. I set up everything via email before we left the US. Estela was wonderful to work with - she helped me understand our tour options and answered all of my questions. She was available before and after our tour and was a pleasure to work with. Andres was... More

We went on a 3 day guided hike of Corcovado and had Nito as our guide. He was phenomenal. I had read reviews saying how great he is, and he went over and above anything I could have expected. He started out meeting us the night before the hike to go to the grocery store and get the food we... More

Our guide, keller, was really professionnal, he loves the forest and the animals and he made everything he could to find them and to make sure that we enjoyed our trip. He was such a nice guy, he even cooked... More

This was without doubt the highlight of our 4 week trip to Costa Rica. Nito from Surcos made this something to remember and I can not recommend him and the company highly enough! After reading through some of the forums on Costa Rica we chose Surcos Tours to provide a guide as all the feedback was very positive. All the... More

Our experience with Surcos was great, reflected the nature of other users comments and Corcovado is simply stunning. Ute was a huge help arranging the details of our trip and helped us tailor a tour to fit our interests, which included bird watching. She even met us at the airstrip in Puerto Jimenez to finalize/clarify the details of our trip... More

We had Roger as our guide and his passion and enthusiasm were infectious. We saw amongst many things a boa constrictor, 3 types of poisonous frogs, 4 types of monkey, white-collared peccaries and Tapirs.The trail is part jungle and part beach and is a visual treat, the sound of the jungle especially the howler monkeys is amazing, you begin to...

I had wanted to visit Costa Rica and especially Corcovado NP for almost a decade and for some reason waited until this year. I considered the benefits of a guide vs no guide and decided to go guided after listening to the trip advisor community. How would I know which guide to use? I read through the Corcovado NP forum...

They are the best for good reason. Ute, originally from Germany, was brilliant in helping us find a great guide to take us from Los Patos ranger station to La Serina ranger station. She answered any questions we could throw at her about our upcoming trip and took the stress out of booking park reservations by doing it for us.... More

I reached out to Surcos Tours in regard to a 1-day hiking trip for to Corcavado when another recommended operator failed to get back to me after a week. The prices were comparable to other operators in the area so my husband and I felt comfortable booking with Surcos. Our guide was Roger, who was knowledgeable and patient. We saw... More
