- Visitor#218Madison, Wisconsin8 contributionsReally helped beyond all expectationsWe lost our trip information for shuttle from Samara to Monteverde. After figuring out that our trip wasn't with costa rica trip guide, Francinne helped us get seats with an upcoming trip. When that fell through, she tried to find a hotel for us to stay another night. When that didn't work out either, she arranged a private driver at the same price as the shuttle. She returned texts, emails and even phone calls within a short time. I talked to her at 830 at night and 9 the next morning. Is there any service in the US like this?Visited January 2023Written 23 January 2023
- magoogie2012Nottingham, United Kingdom38 contributionsPrivate transfer from Manuel Antonio to SierpeErick was very helpful with my queries when booking, and even when two friends asked if they could share the taxi and be dropped off at Uvita, on the way to Sierpe. The vehicle turned up at our hotel exactly on time. It was spacious, sparkingly clean, and looked like new. The driver was excellent, and we had a lovely trip. I have already recommended them to three people looking for a reliable transfer.Visited February 2023Written 6 February 2023
- meribel_12Manchester, United Kingdom49 contributionsGreat Transportation Company you can rely on! High 5 to Francinne.First class service from this company. Francinne was super helpful and professional. We booked one private transfer and one Interbus transfer before we left UK for Costa Rica. Both services I would highly recommend. Thank you.Visited February 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 22 February 2023
- Laura11 contributionsAbove and beyondWe 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.Visited February 2023Written 7 March 2023
- Sharon C5 contributionsSee all of Costa Rica and leave the driving to us.My family and I were fortunate to be transported all over Costa Rica by Costa Rica Trip Guide drivers, between different destinations throughout Costa Rica in our stay there: LaPavona to LaFortuna, LaFortuna to Dominical, and Dominical to Potrero with drivers Miguel, Marco and Ana, and Edwardo. All of them went above and beyond to make our trips safe and convenient while being friendly guides along the way. Miguel came to the shore to search us out when we arrived by boat in LaPavona. Marco took me to a mocha stand to start our trip. When one of our travelers inadvertently left his bag at our lunch stop, Marco stopped, contacted the restaurant, and waited while another driver delivered the bag to us. He then changed our route to get us off the curvy roads that were making my daughter carsick. All with humor and great patience. I was the lone traveler to Potrero, and Edwardo taught me history as well as information about the areas through which we traveled. As a non Spanish speaking traveler, I was very appreciative of the level of English all our drivers maintained. The rates are also very reasonable, especially for a group. For those who don't want to drive and prefer private transportation, I most highly recommend this company to get you wherever you want to travel.Visited February 2023Written 15 March 2023
- Jenni A11 contributionsExcellent and friendlyEdgar 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:)Visited March 2023Travelled soloWritten 19 March 2023
- sallyhood155Calvert City, Kentucky4 contributionsWonderfulI have been going to Costa Rica at least once a year for the last five years. Eric picked us up on our first trip and every trip since. He is such a sweet and considerate person. All his drivers are exceptional. We have become like family. At one rental we had some issues and he refused to leave us until everything was settled. He didn’t want us stranded. If you want someone that will always be on time treat you like family and protect you, this is your company.Visited January 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 3 April 2023
- Keith DoyleCollierville, Tennessee1 contributionIncredible Service!Erick and his team are incredible! We have used them on 3 trips to CR and couldn’t ask for better service. The team is friendly, courteous and professional. From arrival at San Jose Airport to departure returning home Erick and his team took great care of us. It is comforting to be so well taken care of. No worries about getting around in a foreign country with Erick taking care of us. If I could give a higher rating than 5 I would. Thanks for a job well done!Visited February 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 4 April 2023

- Beth M.4 contributionsExceptional Costa Rica Transportation & GuidesCosta 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!!Visited April 2023Travelled soloWritten 3 May 2023

Excellent customer service from Erick and team from the 1st day I what’s APP’d. I was able to set up reliable transportation to and from my resort. Our flight was delayed several hours and this was not a problem.
The vans were clean, air conditioned and spacious, and the drivers THE NICEST PEOPLE.
I will recommend your service to our family and friends. Pura Vida and we will be back.

First time to CR with my mom, I wanted her to have an easy time and not worry about transportation. Booking was very easy, very reasonable prices and Erick is very responsive to any questions.
Gerardo was our driver for 3 very long trips, he was always kind, professional and made us feel safe. On our first day, many roads were closed due to the weather which turned our 4 hour trip into 8 hours.Gerardo handled it great, he was patient and made sure we had what we needed. He was so kind and answered our million questions about CR.
He also made stops along the way so we could get what we needed, eat great food, etc. and made great recommendations for tours and helped us figure out which prices were fair and worth it.
The vans are clean and very comfortable.
I would 100% recommend this company and will use it again when I am back in CR.

We used this service to go from SJO to La Fortuna, from La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio, and Manuel Antonio to SJO. The drivers are SO friendly and genuinely want to inform you about Costa Rica. On the way to La Fortuna from the airport, our driver, Edgar, brought us to the one and only Starbucks located on a coffee farm. We were able to get some incredible coffee and see beautiful views. He also stopped for us to see La Paz waterfall. Further, the staff with this company is so incredibly responsive. Every time I email them with questions, they respond within an hour or so. They are so helpful and do everything they can to accommodate your schedule. So grateful for this much cheaper alternative to traveling through Costa Rica. This is definitely the best transportation company I’ve ever dealt with. So thankful!!

We used this company for three private transfers. The website was so easy to use, confirmation and arrangements were easily confirmed and updated. We had a few unanticipated things happen, like changing hotels and early airport arrivals. Transportation in Costa Rica made it easy for us to make updates to our transports. Everyone we spoke with via phone, email and WhatsApp were quick and friendly with responses. We had this company take us from Liberia airport to Hacienda Pinilla (1.5 hours), from Fortuna to Manuel Antonio (almost 5 hours) and Manuel Anotion to SJO airport (2 hours). The middle drive was a long and difficult drive for the driver (we enjoyed the views and took a nap). He handled it with care, offering stops, and pointing out great sites. All of our vans were nice, well air-conditioned and a very smooth ride, thanks to each of the drivers. Each transport was exactly on time, I didn’t have to worry if they would be there, or run behind. Already recommended this company to others that I know visiting in a few months. We are also thinking about a return trip and will for sure use this company for all transport. We worked with two other transport companies while in-country and we will only use this one going forward. Loved all the staff and drivers. Thank you so much!

We were a family of 6 adults and wanted to avoid driving, which can be challenging in Costa Rica. We contacted "Costa Rica Trip Guide" and booked 5 different drives (of private shuttles) with them, including a shuttle for a whole day. In all 5 cases the driver arrived on time, was polite and attentive to our wishes and even adjusted the route if necessary. Communication with Eric and the company was easy (via WhatsApp) and it was possible to change the times and order another drive while on the trip.
The vehicles were spacious, clean and with air conditioning and overall we had an excellent experience

On time, and we got there in one piece. What more could I ask for from a shuttle than that? Will keep their contact info for another trip.
