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. More

I emailed this company several times because I wanted to treat my son and his girlfriend to a tour. They never responded. Another disappointment is that there are no prices on the website. Business must be fantastic since you are able to lose a customer. :( More

The most amazing travel experience. We've booked tours with Papagayo Tours twice: in Jan of 2010, our first visit to Costa Rica, and our second visit, in Jan of 2012. Both times the service was amazing. Lupita and Ricardo are extremely helpful and go out of their way to make your stay in the country memorable. The provide you with... More

I recently just returned from Costa Rica. I stayed in the Papagayo area, and went on two excursions with Vargas Tours. We originally were just going to book tours through our resorts, but a family friend suggested we tag along on their tours with Vargas. I am so thankful that we did because both tours were incredible! We went on... More

Josta provided us with wonderful service. She met us the day after we arrived and layed out all our tours. There were 9 of us in our group. They even accomodated my grandson and myself , while the rest went on a zip line tour. We were allowed to come along at no cost so my 2 year old grandson... More

Volcano hike, zip lining and the wildlife boat tour were all amazing experiences! Our tour guide was incredible and had a vast knowledge of the trees, plants, animals and could answer any general questions we had about CR. The tours had a good mix of culture and adventure to satisfy any traveller! HIGHLY recommended! More

If you are staying in the Papgayo/Guanacaste area, I recommend using Vargas Tours for all your touring needs, including transfers, customized requests etc. Our family group went on 3 tours: Rincon De La Vieje, Canopy Zip Line, Palo Verde Wildlife Tour, plus a customized Sunset catamaran cruise for 32 people (wedding). All of these experiences were of the highest quality,... More
