Our group of 4 had a fantastic time with Vargas tours last weekend. We had very limited time and wanted to see as much as possible. After a lot of emails back and forth, discussing a number of different options in the area, we settled on a private tour. Our tour guide picked us up directly from the airport and... More

I took this tour with Papagayo. LOVED THEM! I had David as the tour operator. He was amazing, knowledgabe, funny and kept the day filled with activities. This is a great tour because you cover a lot of ground. Cigar stop, Church, Market Bazaar, City Tour, Lunch, River Boat Ride and Volanco stop and see. All stops are great and... More

We visited Costa Rica for a week with a group of 9 friends and stayed at Riu Guanacaste. We found Vargas Tours through Trip Advisor before we left and received amazing service that started with the emails before the trip. Lupita answered all of our questions in a timely manner and was very helpful with our excursion plans. We did... More

We e-mailed Vargas Tours before we left for Costa Rica and received a prompt reply. Our tour guide (Mau) and driver (JC) met our group of 8 (4 being teenagers) at the gates of our hotel at the designated time and drove us to the river where our Palo Verde tour began. Both of our guides were knowledgeable and professional... More

Our family of five have just returned from one week in Costa Rica over the Christmas holidays and I have to say that Vargas tours really helped to make our vacation memorable. Lupita was so very helpful before we even arrived in the country by making suggestions to our itinerary so that it would not be too exhausting. The company... More

The tour was one of the best experiences in my life. My girlfriend and I did the mega combo tour. We were picked up by our tourguide Juan Carlos Vargas (the best tourguide ever) from the hotel Riu guanacaste. We went during the off season so we were the only 2 people on the tour which was awesome because it... More

We recently booked a day tour to Nicaragua through Papagayo Vargas Tours. Josta and Lupita came by our hotel to deliver our paperwork and we had a delightful visit. They were very thorough in describing our tour. After our tour, they e-mailed for our critique. We would use their services again as they offer other tours.

We went on three tours with Vargas Tours in Mar. 2012 and enjoyed every one of them. Excellent guides! Excellent Drivers! They are more than willing to customize the tours to suit your needs and desires. The guides are very knowledgable!. Small groups! We would highly recommend these tours to anyone.
