My lovely wife and I just had our Honeymoon in Costa Rica and were highly recommended by a good friend to book Jose & Mildred as travel guides. Jose & Mildred were wonderful, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and made us feel like family for our 9 day journey across the country! Cannot recommend them enough if you want a beautiful trip taking you throughout Costa Rica’s wonders.

we are a family of four with two young kids and had arranged for our trip thru travel in paradise. One week before our vacation, our friend's family wanted to join us in our itinerary as well. I called Sol to ask her if she could arrange for our friends to join us and we could travel and go/stay places together. She graciously took the challenge and arranged for everything flawlessly. During our entire trip, Jose and Mildred made every moment memorable. My kids still sing the song Mildred taught them while driving. We have come back home with an abundance of knowledge in the birds/animals/flora/culture/political life of the costaricans - thanks to Mildred. We are back home and still remember our guides, their names, our conversations - like they were family - all that has been possible because of their heart-felt interactions with us. I am strongly recommending them to all my friends.

My partner and I were planning our first major trip together and wanted something special. What we got exceeded our dreams and expectations, and memories we will treasure for a lifetime!
Travel in Paradise CR was highly recommended to us and the planning process was easy and comfortable. As a small and specialized local tour company, they collaborated with us to create an itinerary that suited our wishes. We appreciated Mildred's suggestions and flexibility throughout the process, as we fine-tuned our activities and locations.
From the moment we arrived in San Jose, we felt well taken care of. Jose met us at the airport and provided bottled water and snacks. Throughout the entire trip, it was the considerate little touches that elevated the experience even more.
Mildred and Jose are experts who are passionate about their country. They are knowledgeable about everything from geography to culture to cuisine to history and beyond. It was a pleasure to be escorted by them and to learn in-depth about Costa Rica and what it has to offer. And they knew all the right spots to stop at -- for a scenic view, a local meal, to spot a rare bird, and to eat mango ceviche and pick up fresh homemade cheese and mountain strawberries.
They were sure to include the right mix of what we wanted -- a local experience, lots of adventure, time for rest and relaxation, and plenty of delicious food and picture perfect sights.
We were made to feel comfortable and had so much fun, that it felt as though we were travelling with friends. Jose and Mildred were wonderful tour guides and we look forward to seeing them again on our next trip back to Costa Rica!

We took a group of 27 high school students on a trip to Costa Rica in early March. Travel in Paradise handled all of the details except air travel. The entire trip was nearly flawless and the crew was on top of everything all the time. Fabian, the naturalist guide was simply amazing for his comprehensive knowledge of seemingly everything Costa Rican. The students are still talking about the trip. Costa Rican roads are often said to be challenging, but not to our driver who managed the dirt road up to Santa Elena with ease. We never felt in danger even though there were several cliff-like drop-offs along the way. I simply cannot recommend this tour group more highly. If I go again, I will call them first.

Without them I would not have made this trip to Costa Rica. They do everything to help you. My flight was delayed and arrive 2o'clock midnight. They picked me up at the airport with big smiles on their face. I have already recommended travel in paradise to my friends. You won't regret choosing this company.

Travel in Paradise Tours made our trip so smooth - we didn't have to worry about anything! I was traveling to Costa Rica for a conference and had some time before and afterwards to explore. They coordinated our transportation, activities, and hotels across the entire country (flew in to San Jose, overnight in Arenal, conference in Guanacaste, overnight in Monteverde, and transport back to the airport)! They were very organized, friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They also worked with our budget to find a plan that worked for us, always trying to go above and beyond for us. They took us off the beaten path to see the lovely towns of Sarchi and Zarcero on our way to Arenal. We stopped along the road to look and learn about the coffee plants. It really made the journey part of the vacation. They were also very helpful with ordering food since my husband and I are vegan/vegetarian. If I had to list any negatives, I would say expect some bumpy roads (but that is more of a Costa Rica issue) and if you have any hotel requests, make that known when planning the trip. We did not make any requests so we did not know what to expect. Overall, we were happy with the hotels, but there was variance in the different places.

We have been to Costa Rica many times, traveling alone and with groups. In May of 2012, we had the great pleasure of traveling with Jose and Mildred of Travel in Paradise. The attention we got was 5 star from pick up to drop off 12 days later. They custom built a trip for us, incorporating some of our old favorites at our request and adding new adventures that are too fabulous to list. Prices were more than reasonable and what we learned about our beloved vacation destination made all the difference in the world. We will be traveling with them several times a year going forward. The experience was off the charts!

First and foremost our review is long overdue. My husband & I had the privilege of working with Sol to create a trip that followed some of the iconic activities in central Costa Rica and then the Caribbean coast. It was great! Sol made suggestions and then we made suggestions, with her pleasant response as, "this is your trip, we WANT to make it the trip to your liking". Totally designed it to our liking and her local expertise!
The bonus we did not know and understand is that our guides were Mildred and Jose during the first part of our experience. Talk about lovely people. They made us feel like family because they genuinely cared about us as people first, our experience second, and then their love of country, sharing all the great features of Costa Rica (even in the rain and fog :-) What a wonderful mix of feeling like being with local family and seeing the passion of CR through their eyes and words!!
Bob and I thought we had said farewell forever after we connected with our rental car and ventured south to Punta Uva, however when we traveled back to San Jose we got LOST when trying to find the Holiday Inn by the airport. What did we do in the pouring rain . . . .? Called Sol, who called Jose, who helped us return our rental and then drive us personally to the Holiday Inn by the airport through the worst commuter traffic with a GENUINE smile and pura vida heart.
THANK YOU, Sol, Mildred & Jose for the best memories. Please come to Santa Cruz, California so that we may pamper you :-)

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Travel in Paradise. Jose and Mildred were fantastic guides. They really cared about us as people and showed obvious pride in their country and sharing their knowledge with us. They made our experience great with little extras we didn't expect, like a stop at the roadside fruit stand to teach us about local tropical fruit. Mildred even bought cookies for us to bring back home to our little girls. We left feeling like we had made new friends.

Is the parking secure/safe? We will be stopping at the waterfall en route to La Fortuna, and will have all of our luggage in the car.

I prefer to first take my luggage to the hotel this place is near the Fortuna de San Carlos and 4km from the center. The walk has many stairs so I recommend you go with comfortable shoes. I have not heard of anyone who would steal anything in the parking lot but I'd feel better with my belongings at the hotel.
