My wife and I just returned from visiting Playa Hermosa (May 2012). We were referred to Bernal at Tico Tours as the best in the area. They are not only the best in the area, but the best we have ever experienced. We have traveled all over Mexico and the Caribbean and have never had the personalized service delivered by... More

We just returned from Costa Rica and had a fantastic time due in part to the tours we took with Tico Tours and Bernal. The bus was clean, cool and comfortable. We were always picked up on time and dropped off at our doorstep (very accommodating). We saw a lot of the countryside and were allowed to stop and take... More

My boyfriend and I went on the Arenal Volcano tour at the beginning of May. It was incredible. Our guide and driver (Jose and Jose) were awesome! We stopped along the way to take photos of wildlife (Toucans, Sloths, etc.) It was a great experience and I would definitely book another tour with them when I return to Costa Rica.... More

Tico Tours was wonderful right from the start. They were quick and helpful in my numerous emails with questions. And they were willing to proviide a tour, or modify an existing tour to fit in my request (awesome!!). Marco was our tour guide for both tours we did with Tico. He was absolutly fantastic and knowledgable. He taught us so... More

On time pick up to and from Liberia airport to Playa Hermosa and surrounding tours. Clean new vehicles. Safe driver. Very informative as a tour guide even though we only used him for transportation. A local recommended them to us. I will definately use them again. More

Bernal, Lilliana, and their crew are a great example of how a tour operation should be run - with enthusiasm, knowledge, and fantastic personal service. They are punctual and accommodating. We (family of 5 - kids age 11,11,12) booked 6 tours ahead of time and eventually experienced 7 of the best Tico Tours had to offer in April, 2012. All... More

They stayed in constant contact with me to let me know what tours they booked so I could sign up!! I did the Borinquen, Palo Verde & Nicaragua tour with them. As others... More

If you don't see Costa Rica with Bernal from Tico Tours then you have not seen Costa Rica!! Bernal makes all of your dreams come true! He treats his clients as if they are celebrities with so many extras and such attention that by the end you really have made a new and wonderful friend! I am a travel agent... More

We were a group of 7 family members...he picked us up at the airport and delivered us to our Villa Lora in Ocotal. He took us on a river tour, whitewater rafting, canopy tour and arranged for a private sail boat outing to swim and catch a spectacular sunset. Perfect in all respects. Bernal is a Costa Rican gem.
