        We did bridges tour with Hansel & Night tour with Ronald. Both were great guides. Very informative. Comfortable ride on both trips. Definitely recommend Tico tours. Prior to tours they were very responsive to questions via WhatsApp. With these guys we saw snakes, spiders, monkeys, birds, coatimundi, sloths, & insects.

        Slow down and enjoy the beauty!!!
        My wife and I went on the All-Day Nicaragua tour and it was amazing. Our tour guide Eduardo and driver Lolito were very helpful in every aspect of our trip. The active volcano and the volcano that was filled with water were amazing to see, the old towns and churches/cathedrals were a thing of beauty. The transfer into and out of the countries borders was an experience but once again Eduardo was there to make it easy. All and all I would do it again and recommend to others 😊

        David is the best!
        David was our tour guide today when my husband and I were taken to Vandara. We loved talking with David so much that we begged him to join us zip lining and lunching. He was so fun, kind, and knowledgeable. Also went out of his way to show us certain sights we hadn’t seen. Definitely recommend him for an adventure guide!

        Amazing Costa Rica Tours
        This is the company to book with for the best tours in Costa Rica! 5 months before arriving in Costa Rica I searched for a tour and heard about Josh and Tico Tours Guanacaste. I was able to book both airport pick up and return, a sloth and suspension bridge tour, and a 5 person side by side buggy tour all in advance, and the logistics were all planned easily. When we arrived from.our flight, David was outside waiting for our family of 5. We had a great commute to our resort at Panama Beach, Guanacaste. Took about 30 mins, with David telling us a lot of great info about Costa Rica. Pura Vida! The 5 of us then wetw picked up two days later for our side by side tour. We drove about 10 minutes to the main office where we started our ride on brand new Honda Pioneer Side by sides. David took us on an awesome ride through the country and town of Sardinal, where we stopped at a beautiful water falls. Our other tour to see sloths and suspension bridges in the rain forest was nothing short of spectacular! We saw several sloths in the trees, such an incredible experience to see this unique animals in their natural habitat! We also got to Tey our hand at milling sugar cane by hand at the farm! I would highly recommend Josh and his team for your tours in Costa Rica. 🇨🇷 Thanks again Josh, David and team...Pura Vida!

        Take this tour!
        We had so much fun on our Buggy Tour with Carlos! We got to see so much of Guanacaste. We saw Howler Monkeys, Las Catalina’s, Waterfalls, and so much more. Carlos was very knowledgeable and great at explaining anything we asked about. We would highly recommend this tour!

        Pure Class - Wildly Fun - Tico Tours
        It is my pleasure to share an extremely well-deserved score of perfection… let me tell you why: Hansel and David. These two caballeros absolutos (absolute gentlemen) were our guide and driver. We toured the rainforest, suspended bridges, and sloth sanctuary - all at the end of rainy season. Here’s the thing - I could go on and dump details on the excursion itself (which was truly wonderful, and very rainy) but none of that matters. It is the people who make something like this truly memorable. My partner Nina and I consider ourselves so very lucky to have had two very kind, funny, and knowledgeable people show us around some of the pride of Costa Rica. Hansel was loaded with energy, quick with a joke, and went above-and-beyond when it came to his knowledge of flora and fauna. As it turns out, Hansel happens to be a legitimate Costa Rican ornithological LEGEND. David was training to be a guide on our trip, and with Hansel as his mentor we know he will be excellent. So as I end this review, again, it is the people who make something like this memorable. We will remember you by name, Hansel and David. There is only one other tour guide duo whom I have remember by name from nearly 12 years ago (Suhat and Zeki from Cappadocia Turkey), and you join them today. Tico Tours - do everything you can to take care of and keep Hansel and David. We will recommend this to everyone we know who will travel to Guanacaste/Carillo/North Pacific Costa Rica. J&N.

        AMAZING Experience
        We had the absolute pleasure of going on the buggy tour with Carlos, and we can't say enough good things about him and the tour! Carlos is not just a guide; he's a true enthusiast and expert when it comes to the nature and ecology of the province. His knowledge was not only impressive but also delivered with such warmth and enthusiasm that it made the entire tour an unforgettable experience. He didn't rush through the tour;instead, he took his time, allowing us to fully appreciate the beauty of our surroundings and soaking in all the fascinating insights he had to offer. If you're looking for an exceptional guide who goes above and beyond to make your adventure special, Carlos is the name to remember. His warmth, knowledge, and dedication to his craft are truly commendable, and I can't recommend him enough for a fantastic tour!

        Amazing jungle ride to waterfall
        Our family took the 2 hour buggy ride in the jungle and had the best day with Carlos! He was knowledgeable, great with kids, and went out of his way to provide an experience that was truly unforgettable. He taught us so much about Costa Rican ecology.

        Great Day with Tico Tours!
        Hansel and Fabian were such great tour guides! They were so knowledgeable about the area that we were exploring! They made the entire family feel so comfortable and safe while exploring the beautiful countryside! We had my parents who were in their late 70s all the way down to a teenager of age 16 having a great time! Thank you for such a fun day!!

        ATV and snorkel tour
        The ATV and snorkel tour was terrific! The ATVs were I. Great shape and allowed up to climb steep and bumpy roads without issue. The water was a bit murky but we saw stingrays, star fish, anemone and schools of fish. “Clifford” Jose was an amazing guide and took us to local places for fun along the way. Highly recommend!

      Tico Tours Guanacaste's Cultural & Safari Boat is a half day treat. Our very educated guide picked us up in the morning and made us feel happy and relaxed immediately. We drove past Filadelfia and learnt about this city's history and relationship to the Tempisque River. On your way to the 100+ year old hacienda, stopping for a picture at the Space Radar is a must. Costa Rica is a delightful mixture of hight tech and nature conservancy. We felt at home enjoying the coffee, rum, sugar cane and tortillas cultural experience. The church owl was the cherry on top. On the boat safari the exuberant vegetation and peace of the Tempisque River would have been enough treat and we saw monkeys, birds, basilisks, crocodiles in many stages of life and even bats! Back at the hacienda for lunch we had traditional costarrican casado with beans made with love and sweet ripe plantains that melt in your mouth...

      What a fun trip! We got to see the 'natural' side of Costa Rica traveling through the sugar cane fields and small villages. Trip down the Tempisque was awesome, teeming with wildlife (unnerving if you don't like crocodiles as there were A LOT of crocodiles). But our boat captain, Manual had it all under control and was able to get us around and helped point out a number of different types of birds, monkeys , bats etc. Then it was off to lunch at the Coyote Ranch which was awesome. Good food and atmosphere. Got lessons on local pottery and the extraction of sugar cane juice! Our driver, Christian was excellent. Strongly recommend.

We have done four tours so far and look forward to having Luigi customize another great trip before we leave. Special thanks to Marco, Big Marco, Mario, Yuon Carlos and all the special people who have shared your country’s history with generosity and laughter. Luigi again you’re the best. There is not a tour that will disappoint.

      My 14 year old son and I did 4 tours & excursions with Tico Tours and each one was better then the next! David Bello was our guide for most of the tours and he was the BEST! He was knowledgeable, kind, patient and really cared about providing an incredible experience. I highly recommend these guys! Everything was amazing, even the Customer service. I can’t thank you guys enough for truly making our time in Costa Rica a memorable one!

      Excellent tour of the culture and the Tempisque river that flows through Palo Verde. The tour was longer than expected and our guide was warm, patient and friendly and very knowledgeable especially about the wildlife on the river. A great way to spend 6 hours!

      This trip was really good because Marco our guide was very kind and funny. He was also very good at explaining things such as the sugarcane factories or how they grow cantaloupes. Once we were on the river we got onto some decently sized boats and left for the river. We saw all kinds of beautiful creatures such as a white faced monkey dip it’s tail in the water it was amazing.

      We recently joined Walter for a full day tour at Hacienda El Viejo. The tour was booked through our resort but day of Walter took care of everything. Walter was great and full of knowledge. We participated in the cultural tour, wetlands cruise and the beer experience. Highly recommend doing all three. Be sure to arrive with empty stomachs, we had welcome fruits, snacks on the cultural tour, a large lunch and food pairings with the beer tasting!
