I’d arranged with Odyssey Tours for a ziplining tour, which included pickup/drop off at our cruise ship. They posted the tour as ‘open’ on their website in the hopes of getting more people on the tour and lowering the per person cost for us (which did happen). On the day we arrived in Puntarenas, Costa Rica, our ship had issues... More

My Girl-Friend and I used Odyssey to get us to our Eco-Lodge in the Arenal Volcano region from the San Jose Airport in late February, 2012. After clearing Customs, we found our driver, Diego, waiting for us. We were on our way within minutes. The car clean, roomy and comfortable. Our guide took on a wonderful drive through Costa Rica....

We spent 5 days in the Puntarenas area of Costa Rica, and we were well served by the Odyssey team. Diego was easy to work with via email and Skype as we planned our trips before leaving the USA. On arrival at the San Jose Airport, we were met by David who drove us to several sites and to some... More

Alvaro and Diego are fantastic drivers and tour providers. They transported my large group of 11 friends, who were all arriving at different times and different airports -- all without a hitch. Diego picked my friends and I up personally at LIR and helped show us scenic spots along the way to Arenal Kokoro Hotel (an amazing hotel to stay... More

We booked Odysssey Tours to bring us to several places during our 2 weeks stays in Costa Rica. We sent an email with the dates/locations of pickup and received a confirmation about our reservation. They did not require any payment up front. Our first pick up was to bring us from San Jose airport to Uvita (aprox 4 hrs drive)... More

What more can be said for Odyssey Tours and Alvaro than "perfect as always". I guage a company or a service by its return guests and we used Odyssey Tours for asecond time in 2 years this month. The first time was very good, this time was even better! My wife and I took my parents to Costa Rica for... More

After contacting at least 5 different reliable companies to drive our family from San Jose to the Osa area with a stop in Manuel Antonio along the way I ended up choosing Odyssey and couldn't be happier. Their prices were significantly cheaper ( which makes a big difference when you are driving that far!) and each driver showed up on... More

We took the 6 in 1 tour and what a poor deal that was. Having set off wth a very small group in a minibus we travelled about half an hour to stop by the roadside where we saw a couple of capuchin monkeys in a scrubby growth. Then on to the National Park where we followed hundreds of cruise... More

We arranged a one day tour with this company. It was completely customized for us (2 couples), mainly just to see the countryside and a make few stops. Our guide was a young man named Juan who did his best to see that we enjoyed the experience. We made a trip up to Sarchi, did some back road exploring for... More
