- Robert SArab, Alabama13 contributionsStress-free transportation in Costa RicaI was nervous about my first trip to Costa Rica. You shouldn’t just hop in the first cab or uber like you can in most airports in the US. My family told me about Erick and I’m glad they did. Erick took care of everything. While I was still at the Atlanta airport before the flight to Costa Rica, chatted via text with Erick and he immediately put me at ease. He told me where he would be at the airport, and what to look for. When I exited the baggage claim area, there he was, holding a sign with my name. On the drive, Erick told me about Costa Rica and about the history of my destination in Athenas. After a great visit in Costa Rica, Erick arranged for an early morning pickup to the SJO airport. They made sure I was at the airport in plenty of time. I even had time to relax and enjoy some coffee before my flight. This has been my easiest and most stress-free travel experience anywhere, thanks to my new friend Erick. I will definitely see Erick again on my next visit to Costa Rica.Visited December 2023Travelled soloWritten 22 December 2023
- Dawn C1 contributionGiovanniThis was our 2nd time in Costa Rica and both times we booked the same tour guide Geovanni Rodriguez Torres, I would highly recommended him. Giovanni is very knowledgeable about the history of Costa Rica if we could give him 10 Stars. We would. The best part of it he stayed the whole week with us. He made everything fun and enjoyable. We will be back and we will have Giovanni once again.Visited March 2024Travelled with familyWritten 17 March 2024
- Alice C1 contributionExcellent Customer ServiceI used their shuttle service to and from Liberia Airport when staying in Tamarindo. From the moment the shuttle was initially booked till reaching our destination the customer service was great. When I booked the shuttle the owner of the company was ready and able to answer any questions I had. The shuttle driver offered to make any stops along the way if we were hungry or saw anything on the way. Very friendly driver and great customer service. Would highly recommend using this company if visiting Costa Rica.Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing our shuttle service! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience from start to finish. Providing excellent customer service and ensuring a smooth, enjoyable journey is our top priority, so it's wonderful to know that our team met your expectations. We're glad that our driver made your trip comfortable and that you felt well taken care of. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back on your next visit to Costa Rica!

- guy sMedina, Ohio64 contributions# 1We use Erick's shuttle service for a ride to and from Puerto Viejo and we were glad that we did. Great communications, we had to make the change from a shared to private, and no issue, very accommodating. Our driver Gaersrdo was pleasant and informative.Visited September 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 16 September 2024

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We hired a private transfer for two trips (Fortuna to Manuel Antonio, and Manuel Antonio to San Jose). On both occasions, we enjoyed safe driving, a detailed explanation of the history and culture of areas we passed, indicating the flora and fauna in the area (our favourite was the scarlet macaw!), and well-calculated stops to maximise the knowledge while ensuring we arrived in a timely manner. The driver was effectively a tour guide and a great person to talk to about Costa Rica. Very professional as well. We look forward to booking them again when we visit Costa Rica next time.

I can't say enough good things about this company. When my boyfriend and I went to CR in January 2021, we wanted to be more cautious and take shuttles, as to avoid some crowds. We technically signed up for the shared shuttles, but most of the time, there was nobody else signed up for the shuttle at the same time and it ended up being private.
We used this company throughout our two weeks. Airport to MA; Jaco to La Fortuna; Fortuna to Heredia.
They were very accommodating. For example, we missed our flight from TX to CR and I was able to reach out to the company to move our shuttle time to the next day. Then, when we arrived in CR the next day, my bag was not delivered and we once again needed a delay on our shuttle. I'm sure business is slower right now, making them more capable of accommodating like they did. But they were very nice and patient with us. They were clean and being cautious. The prices are also reasonable!

We will have a hard time expressing our full gratitude for the drivers we were provided through this company. If 6+ stars were an option, they would get it in an instant. All drivers were amazing but Carlo and Ana got stuck with us twice, and saw us in our least fine moments in the country. Between motion sickness in the cloud forest and leaving our passport outside of Jaco, they managed every crisis with grace, kindness, patience, finesse, and skill. It was shocking how well they took care of us given the circumstances. They created calm in crisis and validated our experiences without making us feel bad for our rookie moves as travelers. I honestly and truly can say we do not know what we would have done without them. I would use this company again in heartbeat. You will be in great hands.

Edgar was wonderful. I’ll admitI wasnt crazy about not being able to make it on a shared shuttle due to scheduling, but this transportation company turned out to be reliable, good communicators, and turned a 3 hour drive into a cultural experience! Edgar stopped to point out wildlife, stopped so i could take pictures, and even suggested stopping at a soda for a uniquely costa rican snack. I feel fully welcomed to costa rica:)

My boyfriend and I did two private transfers with this company, one from Cahuita to Turrialba and one from Turrialba to Samara. This was a lifesaver, well a trip saver for sure, because the bus routes between these destinations are indirect and require lots of bus changes. We had the same driver, Geraldo, for both transfers and we absolutely loved him. He was very nice and very attentive to us, and always quick to point out cool things along our route and give us some background on places we passed through. Our first transfer occurred during a huge downpour and subsequent flood, and we weren't sure if the road would be passable, but Eric was in contact with me the morning of the transfer and kept me updated so as to eliminate uncertainty, which is so nice in that kind of situation! The van was very comfortable and roomy, great for a couple of long rides. We will definitely use this company again on our next trip!

I’ve used Erick and his team for shuttle services each time I’ve come to Costa Rica- they’re fantastic. Erick is very responsive, punctual and a pleasure to be around, as are all of his drivers. He’s also very well priced for the service. I’ve always felt safe and comfortable using them and look forward to next time!

Just returned from 8 wonderful days in Costa Rica. Thank you to Erick and his team for taking care of all of our transportation needs -- from SJO to Ojochal, Ojochal to Bajos del Toro, and then back to SJO. Erick always responded to my questions in a timely manner. He and his drivers were prompt, helpful and polite. We felt safe in our travels and enjoyed learning more from them about this beautiful country, its people and history. All the vehicles we rode in were new, clean and comfortable. Will call Erick the next time we're lucky enough to visit Costa Rica. You should too. Highly recommend.

Costa Rica Trip Guide helped us with multiple private transfers during our Costa Rica vacation. My husband and I flew into San Jose, traveled to Arenal, Playa Conchal, Monteverde, and back to San Jose. Erick and his team of trusted drivers provided a phenomenal experience each move of the trip. Their knowledge of the landscapes, animals, roads, restaurants, and stops made our travels enjoyable and fun and we learned so much from them along the way. They provide exceptional customer service, are reliable, and have deep knowledge of the country. We look forward to visiting and seeing them again and have already shared their names with multiple friends and family. Highly recommend them and their services!!
