We booked with Morpho Vans to go from SJO to Fortuna with stops at the Poas Volcano and La Paz Waterfall Gardens. The booking process was prompt and easy and Mario provided great input to help us plan our itinerary.

The trip was an absolutely perfect start to our Costa Rican vacation. Our driver Jimmy met us promptly at the airport and the vehicle was comfortable and safe. Jimmy was a fantastic guide - he made great conversation, was super knowledgeable about everything from plant life to coffee farming, and his recommendations of places to stop along the way were perfect. He even took us to a great local place for dinner.

Can’t recommend Morpho Vans highly enough - their service absolutely blew us away!

Mario and his team were amazing, and helped make a fantastic Costa Rica trip possible. They shuttled us (a group of 12) from San Jose to Arenal, then Monteverde, then Nosara, then the Liberia airport, all over a week and for a very affordable price. Mario was very responsive over WhatsApp to changes in our timing, and accommodated many requests quickly and professionally. All the drivers were great, and extremely helpful. Excellent service all around!

Using a van service was a new experience for us - we are usually a bit more independent on our vacations, but this was our first trip with a baby and we thought it was worth paying for the convenience of having someone else do the driving. We were not wrong! Mario was so helpful and accommodating: answering all our questions, giving recommendations, accommodating itinerary changes, setting up both private transfers and transfers with a couple parks in the La Fortuna area. Everything ran like clockwork. Our drivers and guides were all punctual, professional, and friendly, a car seat was provided for our baby, and we were so happy we chose this route over renting a car for this trip. We highly recommend Morpho if you're considering a van service in Costa Rica!

Driver was punctual and friendly. Stopped so we could see Macaws and Crocodiles but... Driver made a point to say that we were going to stop at a souvenir shop that had very good prices and how past customer had told him how great it was. So, when we get to the stop, he puts a sticker on each of the 7 of us that only had a number on it. When I asked why, he said something vague like it was because there were so many people there and didn’t want any confusion. Once we got inside, it was clear to me that the sticker was to identify us as his rides so he could get some sort of commission or kickback on whatever we bought at the gift store. Most of the prices at this gift shop were higher- often twice as high as we had seen elsewhere. I realize that these drivers are trying to make a living, but I don’t appreciate being scammed and having him try to make it look like he was looking out for us.
I am saddened to give this review as this was our 3rd transfer with MorphoVan and the first 2 were exceptional. The driver seemed nice enough but must have assumed we were pretty naive as to not see through this scam. It would be one thing to just stop there , but to go to the effort to “prep” us before by telling us this “line of bologna” about what an “economical” place it was- totally left a bad taste in my mouth.

We did a transfer with a different company also, and that driver was very good. Our first transfer with MorphoVan was far above expectations and second was very good as well. Wish I knew how common this was with drivers in general and with MorphoVan’s drivers specifically.

Hola Bruce I offer you my sincere apology for the behavior of our driver, who tried to take advantage of you by taking you to that souvenir store. This kind of behavior is completely against our rules, we do not tolerate it, and the driver has received a disciplinary action. We promote all the opposite: respect for our customers and extreme care in the quality of our service . But sometimes, even persons who have worked for us for years still do things like this behind our back. I thank you for your feedback. Without it we wouldn't have learned about this issue. And I hope you enjoyed your visit to Costa Rica.

We were heading to 3 lodges over 10 days in CR and Morpho worked perfectly for needs. Wound up being less than renting a car and the experienced drivers eliminated any anxiety about getting to where we needed to be on a timely basis via unfamiliar roads. They were very accommodating about stopping for whatever reason and brought us to nice “sodas” for lunch/snacks. Morpho even arranged for a 4x4 to take us the last mile up a particularly rugged drive to one lodge. WiFi in the van was also invaluable when we had to make a last-min change to our return flight as we drove back to San Jose.

We had a wonderful visit to Costa Rica in early February. Part of what made it wonderful was that all of our transportation was arranged with Morpho Vans. Mario Cordero was so excellent to with. It is such a wonderful luxury to have polite and articulate drivers, pick us up from each lodging, load our suitcases and swiftly drive us to our next location. No hassle about finding the way, pumping gas, and watching out for other drivers. We could just sit back and enjoy the scenery. All the drivers had pretty good English, a couple of them had perfect English. It is a great opportunity to discuss cultural differences and to learn about local geography and customs. They were good at selecting lunch stops with good food ( we always bought our drivers lunch ant tipped them).
I chatted with a couple of people who had rented cars and while this isn't scientific, I think that using van transit a little bit cheaper than renting a car and paying for gas. Taxis were abundant, prompt and inexpensive in La Fortuna, Monteverde and Jaco. (not in San Jerado de Dota, but we didn't need one). Our bird guides came to our lodging and picked us up and all the restaurants and our lodges were willing to call taxis.

Mario and team were above and beyond fantastic. Rapid and adequate response to email/SMS communication, helpful planning, on time, professional, reliable, and flexible. It made the trip much more relaxing than having me drive and LESS cost as renting a car in CR is expensive and required FULL insurance. Not to say that you need a GPS and patience with the harsh roads and tourism cars/bus...Mario's pricing was competitive if not the less for highly safe. Drivers have excellent knowledge of the surrounding area and had good English. We would definitely use their service again!

We used Morphovans multiple times during our recent trip for family of 9. Mario was amazing right from initial contact to multiple other requests we made throughout the trip. He helped us plan our trip with consideration regarding the fact that we had both kids and older members in our group. He was very helpful and communicated promptly to our last minute request when one of our other plan did not work out.
Tino was our driver and he was very polite, considerate and kind. He drove us for 2 days through very difficult drive but was very safe and made us feel comfortable throughout our drive. He made sure we could get sugar cane juice for our aunt :) Overall we had great experience with Morphovans, their price/communication/service was better than all other we contacted. Thanks Mario and Tino :)

We were travelling during high season and booked all of our transportation last minute. Most of the other places we called were booked and/or charging exorbitant prices. I booked 2 trips (5 hours and 3 hours) with Morpho Vans and they were able to accommodate us with short notice and they were priced significantly under all the competitors. Driver was punctual, nice, and spoke English well.

We had an excellent experience with Morocho vans. We had two different drivers for 3 different 4-5 hour long trips wiring Costa Rica. Robert snd Lilliana were informative, respectful, safe and sweet. I HIGHLY recommend Morpho. We had hotel issues as moved the times/dates and departures points probably 6 times within 5 days and they rolled with every punch.
