 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excelentes tours, organización y transporte, nos llevamos una muy bonita experiencia. Queremos agradecer al guía Marco por su buenísima atención y amabilidad, siempre nos trató como si fuéramos amigos de toda la vida. Nos contó y aprendimos muchas cosas sobre Costa Rica, incluso nos llevó a ver guacamayas, garzas, cocodrilos y más en el camino, y nos ayudó a encontrar otros animalitos en el parque Manuel Antonio porque luego son difíciles de ver. Hasta nos ayudó a conseguir un tour de última hora porque nos habían quedado mal en otra agencia. Si algún día regresamos a Costa Rica (que sí nos quedaron muchas ganas), volveríamos con Tico Travel, definitivamente.

We booked two excursions, and both exceeded our expectations. Our first tour with Carlos took us to the volcano, breathtaking waterfalls, and a coffee plantation. From the moment we met him, he was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared so much of Costa Rica’s history, culture, and traditions throughout the day, making the experience both educational and unforgettable. We never felt rushed, and he made sure we had plenty of opportunities to enjoy each stop and take photos. Our second excursion with Jose was to Baldi Hot Springs in La Fortuna, and it was just as exceptional. Jose was friendly, professional, and also shared fascinating information about Costa Rica during our drive. Both Carlos and Jose made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout our tours, and their passion for their country truly showed. If you’re looking for a transportation and tour company that is reliable, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about providing an unforgettable experience, I highly recommend Tico Travels. Thank you, Carlos and Jose, for making our anniversary and birthday trip so memorable. We can’t wait to visit Costa Rica again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We stayed at the gran hotel and Ticotravel adventures was operating out of the lobby. I didn’t do any tours with them but they did organize a private shuttle for me and my family to La fortuna (volcano arenal área). They did such a great job when we needed to get back to San Jose, I called and the arranged a driver to pick me up at my hotel in Manuel Antonio and bring us back to San Jose. I highly recommend them for private shuttle service.

Reservamos dos tours desde México nos facilitaron la información, los tours son totalmente privados para el grupo de personas, información clara proporcionan la información y los torurs incluyen entradas alimentos y lo requerido. Los guías dieron información. En general Larry nos gustó el espacio que nos dio en tiempos y privacidad, los datos importantes en el momento adecuado.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was highly pleased with 2 of your representatives regarding a short tour to a volcanic site on 30 Jan, 2026. The agent at Gran Hotel managed to find me a tour on short notice which fit well with my last day in your country. He also gave a lot of good information about places of interest with walking distance of the Hotel Gran. The other was my tour guide, Luis. He was very informative regarding history and points of interest, as well as rounding out the tour with a beautiful (Los Angeles) cathedral on the way back to the hotel. Sincere thanks to these 2 people for adding to an already pleasing memory for a fantastic trip!
