David was our tour guide and he was amazing! My kids who normally are very shy to strangers were talking with him immediately and he was helping name different clams and things that my kids were finding and taking to him to show him. I would do it again just for the experience that he gave my kids. The side by sides were also awesome and it was cool seeing the different areas that we drove through. I would highly recommend this to anyone on the fence.
Due to an error on their site, we booked for the wrong date. When we asked to re-schedule, they simply ignored us, never replied to multiple emails and sms and kept our money. Horrible experience. Stay away.
David, our guide, was excellent! The buggy was fun to drive, crossed over streams and rugged terrain. He was also very personable, knowledgeable, spoke great English, showed us animals and all kinds of information about the nature. My father and uncle, both in their 80s had a great time as well. Would recommend!
The tour was excellent and professional, with the guides, David and Bernal, the path was very fun and we lived the whole experience, I recommend it.
Thanks for the awesome review! Our team works hard to create unforgettable experiences – so glad you enjoyed yours.
Bernal was a great guide! We had so much fun!! Do this excursion! Fun ride, worth the money. Jumped in waterfall, went to a beach, saw the local area
We're so glad you enjoyed your experience with us! Your feedback means the world to the Tico Tours team. ¡Pura vida!
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!
Hello, We loved that you had such a great time with our guides during your stay. Our main goal is to create a memorable experience for you, and I think we reached our goal. We hope to see you again in Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
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!
Thank you! Carlos will be very happy to know that you had such a great time with him.
We were a group of 10 (included 3 kids 6 & 7 year olds) and had a great time. We went over water, through the jungle, saw a few animals, and stopped at a waterfall. Carlos was our tour guide and made a few stops along the way to explain different things and even ate a few termites. Would recommend for a family excursion, kids had a great time.
Thank you very much for your words of appreciation, they mean a lot to us.
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!
Wow! We get very excited when reading reviews like this. Your words of appreciation go straight to our heart. Thank you!
We did the buggy tour with Carlos and had a blast! He made it so fun and I’d recommend this to anyone visiting the area.
Thank you so much for your words, they are well appreciated.
