      Miravalles with Walter
      We did the Miravalles Volcano tour with Walter. Walter was awesome! Great knowledge and was fun to be with for the day. The views were spectacular. Definitely recommend.

      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!

      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!

      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.

      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!

      I can’t imagine coming to Costa Rica without using Tico Tours. It made our trip very special. We loved our tour guides!
      We went to Rio, Celeste and Rincon de la Vieja. Both of our tours were top notch. I can’t imagine any one doing better!!!!!

      Great Variety to Choose From
      I did 3 excursions: Rio Celete, the Hanging Bridges and Sloth Farm, and Miravalles (hanging bridges and mud baths). The tours were awesome! The guides and coordinator (Josue) were helpful and professional. Would absolutely go on tours with them again!

      We had a wonderful day hiking, mud bath and hot springs and white water tubing. We also had a sunset catamaran and white water rafting. It was a a blast! Josh helped to get it all set up and was very timely in replying and made sure it all went well. I would highly recommend!

      So much fun!! Muy divertido!!
      We had THE BEST time on the 4 hour buggy tour! Driving thru the water was so much fun. We enjoyed beautiful scenery, explored places you can’t see by car and learned about plants and animals in the area. We felt safe and confident with our guide. Carlos is a fantastic guide. He knew so much about the area and answered all of our questions. And made sure we had a GREAT time! We highly recommend this tour and plan to do it again the next time we return

      Diamanté Eco park and ATV adventure
      We went to Diamanté Eco Park and we did the ATV tour . The ATV was wayyyyy better then I expected . I knew it was going to be fun , but it was a freaking blast ! The tour guide was fun , funny and knowledgeable and he knew the roads like the back of his hand . I can also say the same for Diamanté , the zip lining was absolutely amazing , the animals were super cool , the cultural tour is super fun . I was very happy with both of the excursions ! We also had amazing drivers , Marcos was super cool . And Chito is amazing , and we really loved getting to hang out with him . And the coolest dude of all was Joshua , he couldn’t have been easier or more helpful . Anytime I needed anything he was available and ready to help and give me advice . He really made everything super easy . I am so happy we went ahead booked with Tico Tours 🤙

    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!

    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.

    Carlos was a great guide! The best part was going up a crazy scary narrow path to the top of a mountain to see an amazing sunset over Panama Bay! It was the most harrowing and fun drive I've ever done (and I've done a lot of ATV driving!). We also went through many streams and dry creek beds that was fun and challenging. And Carlos took us to a great waterfall and encouraged us to jump from the top (probably a 15-ft drop!) which was exhilarating. Carlos was also very patient as we switched between 3 drivers.

    We were also lucky that we were the only ones on the tour, so it was like a private tour with Carlos!

    This tour was NOT what we thought it would be! No stopping along the way to see any view points, towns or anything scenic. just one straight shot to a single boring destination turn around and come back home. As we were getting ready to return back a passerby noticed one of the buggies had a flat tire. We were not upset by this as these things happen. We assisted our guide in changing the tire ( he did not know how to use the jack or where to put it ) and we’re on our way. Once we return back to the Tico Tour Office, we were informed that they expected us to pay for the tire. This was a huge shock to us considering we were on a tour driving behind a guide. I would understand having to pay for something like this if we were negligent in someway but we were following our guide who was controlling the speed as well as the destination.
    So it is not like there was any opportunity to do anything inappropriate with the vehicle to be blamed for such negligence. We spoke with the owner of the company who informed us that signing up for the buggy tour it’s like renting a car and you are liable for anything that goes wrong with it. So just be warned that your very expensive buggy trip may end up costing you much more money than you expected for something that is totally out of your control.

    Oh goodness what an adventure! I went with my 6 year old and had an amazing time. We stopped in a local town convenience store where we bought ice cream, which was nice on a hot day. We went to a beautiful beach where they are building the new Waldorf Astoria resort and the water and waves were so awesome. We also stopped by a waterfall where we saw live monkeys - NICE!

    One thing - wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. I made the mistake of wearing a light colored outfit and had to throw it away when I got home since the dirt was embedded. You will get VERY dusty and dirty. I brought a water cover for my phone to take pics so the dirt wouldn't get on my phone. Take minimal belongings because anything you take will get dirty. They offered water from a cooler so that was a nice perk too.

    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!!

    We were disappointed with this tour. Looking at the advertising and videos we expected more. It just seemed like we drove and drove and drove. Just stopped for a photo op once, and then at Las Catalinas resort area where we bought sandwiches and had 20-30 minutes on the beach. Their advertising mentioned a secluded beach, not a busy resort area! It was during the dry season so it was very dusty. I imagine the dust is less and the scenery better at other times of the year. This was a pricey tour, not really worth the money we paid.

    We booked a 2 hour tour during our visit to Costa Rica. Walter was our guide and he was amazing. We stopped at lots of points along the way to learn interesting facts about the trees, the ecosystem, wildlife and culture of the Guanacaste province! The trip had lots of different terrains and was dusty but we were prepared in advance. Walter also took great care to explain the machine and safety so even if you have never driven one of these machines, he made sure we were ready before departing. He also checked in with us to see what “level” of rugged we were up for! We had a great experience and I definitely recommend this organization for a nature tour on wheels!!

    Amazing tour taking you through the back roads of Costa Rica. My favorite part was the fresh coconuts they provided to us to drink on the tour and the private watering hole we were able to swim in. Definitely be prepared to get dusty which was all part of the fun! Staff members are extremely friendly and kind.
