We travelled to Costa Rica with three generations in a group of eleven people. Estalin and Elay made sure to take the time and design a vacation that was just the right balance of relaxing and exploration. As well as orchestrating great adventures they were also responsive to last minute requests. Could not have asked for better service and support.

L.A. was able to handle our group of 10 with three generations of our family from 3 years old to 90. She was really accommodating and set us up with transportation into Jaco from our Airbnb with short notice. She set up our tour to Manuel Antonio and it was 100% worth it. She was really down to earth and easy to get along with. I highly recommend using her and Costa Rica Tour Office for your travel needs in Costa Rica!

So been coming to Costa Rica for 12 years. When friends come they always want to do things. So I have book with other tour groups but it has never gone as smooth as it has with Elay. She is on her A game. From the time we booked, it was a professional and extremely experience from start to finish. She is extremely detailed, which means everything happens when she explained it was going to happen.
Thank you so much, friends and family will be contacting you for all our future needs !!!!

LA with the Costa Rica Tour Company took all the guess work out of booking the best tours for our group. Professional guides and drivers based on lots of local knowledge! Would recommend highly!

I can’t begin to express how amazing out trip to Jaco, Costa Rica was! We contacted Costa Rica Tour Office a month before our trip, and they were spectacular from start to finish. Our point of contact was L.A. (yes, that is her name). She was never too busy to talk or text through WhatsApp. She made sure we were taken care of, and all our questions were answered. She arranged all of our excursion reservations and even called taxi’s for us when we needed it. No matter what it was, her answer was yes! We also had driver, Percy for an excursion and transport back to the airport. Another great experience! Thank you L.A. and Costa Rica Tour Office. You will be the first we call when we return!

We took the tour to Manuel Antonio National Park.
It was Awesome, the driver, Percy was the MVP of the trip. He gave us so many useful tips for the rest of our trip in Costa Rica.
They where on time, the ride was very pleasant and we felt safe.
The park was a nice visite. The food was included in the trip, it was super good, great quality (take the fish! The chicken was good but the fish was delicious!).
There is so many different compagnies in Jaco that sell trips, we did not know which one to pick... we are more than happy to have used Costa Rica Tour Office (Jaco) and recommande everybody to use that compagnie!

Elay and Estalin are great. They know the area and are easy to talk to and ask questions. We were there 6 years ago and we used them and when we decided to go back, we didn’t hesitate to get back in contact. This time, we spent 10 days in Costa Rica. They worked with us to build a great itinerary of day trips. Really great, friendly people. Highly recommend.

This was a great disappointment. The vehicle was supposed to pick me up at 6:30 am for a birding tour to Carara National Park. I waited until 8 am but no one showed at my location. I had given specific details of the location of the house in Herradura. My cell phone number was on the order but no one phoned me, I will not be booking any more tours

We planned a girls trip and we were so worried about going to a different country by ourselves until we meet our tour guide, Estalin (we gave him a nickname: Juan Carlos, aka, Carlitos). So reliable, so caring. We were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our mini vaca. Excellent driver, very funny, and very knowledgeable!!!!! He had the patience to drive us around for 2 days.... We couldn't have a better person to show us the beauties of Costa Rica!!!

Please kindly indicate if you found this review to be helpful so I know where to concentrate and focus my efforts in reviewing for TripAdvisor, many thanks! We were a group of six adventurers in Costa Rica and Estalin at the Costa Rica Tour Office (also the owner) provided for us four services over the week: transfers to and from the airport, as well as tours of Manuel Antonio and Carara National Park.
At the airport, Estalin had one of his associates Esayas greet us with a sign for pickup. Estalin’s ride was is a late model and very comfortable large Mercedes Benz passenger van. He is very well spoken in English and was very helpful in answering any/all questions we brought up. We were quite hungry so along the way he offered to stop at a local Costa Rican restaurant and also offered to stop for any other amenities along our way to our hotel in Jaco. We were pleased with his service and found his pricing to be competitive, thus we decided to go with him for two more tours over the course of the week.
We went to Manuel Antonio National Park on the Wednesday, where Estalin himself was our tour guide. He was quite knowledgeable about many elements of the park and took us up a few other more challenging paths with great views, as well as the white sand beaches. It’s really nice that the tour guides don’t just work independently but collaborate on the sights and sounds of the park. A nice bonus was that he took us to a restaurant for drinks after with million dollar views!
On the Friday, one of Estalin’s close colleagues Juan took us on a tour of Carara. He was also exceptionally well versed and professional, even taking the time to get to know us individually. Juan was equipped with a scope, laser pointer and tablet to give us some added value in the tour itself. We also were shown the crocodiles over the bridge and were brought to a fruit smoothie stand for a refreshing rest stop.
Estalin was always on time or early (never late) and was helpful throughout our dealings with him. On his advice, he picked us up a little earlier on the Sunday just to be certain we’d make it to the airport comfortably with lots of time to spare. He would pull over and let you take photos for certain look out points. He is also efficient at getting you to your destination (read: faster driver) so for some of us, we had to get accustomed to it! He takes either USD or CRC for payment, cash preferred but will take credit with 3% surcharge. We felt there was great value in his services, so we tipped accordingly!
Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend the Costa Rica Tour Office. It is a well-run small business with good pricing, great customer service that prioritizes his clients and also with a great and comfortable ride. Again, please kindly indicate if this review was helpful as it would be greatly appreciated and help me focus my future efforts!

Just wondering if any tours are available on Wednesday..some of us cannot climb or walk long distances. There would be a total of 5 people. Really would like to see some neat sites! We are probably going to Arenal and volcano, hot springs in our rental car on Monday. Please include price and details. Thanks so much!
