Two cancellations
I had a terrible experience with this shuttle service. I had trips booked through Book-a-way from Tamarindo to MonteVerde and back. Both transfers were cancelled the day before departure, the second only 12 hours before, leaving me to scramble to find an alternate route. The first I was given no reason for, the second that the transfer was full, even though I had booked weeks previous.

Excellent service !
I used transportes Varela for a transport from San Jose Airport to La Fortuna and back , drivers were punctual and safe, felt safe the whole ride which was a long journey, Elgyn was very knowledgeable, and kept the long ride interesting and fun , pointing out some great views along the way. Communication was easy through WhatsApp, very responsive, and getting regular updates, thank you for making our trip stress free!

Incredible experience in every way
What an amazing experience. Arranging transport over WhatsApp was quick and efficient. We were picked up and from there the drive itself was one of the best parts of our visit to Costa Rica. Our driver Elgyn was such a gentleman who made us feel safe and gave us such a wonderful experience. The transport itself was clean, spacious and had wifi but in the end, it was our driver Elgyn who made this experience another level of special. His consideration and care was what will make me book this company over and over for my future visits. Don’t look any further if you require any transportation in CR ☺️

Excellent service!
Dorian was so very kind and hospitable! I first used his car service for a coffee tour and then asked him if they could drive me to La Fortuna from monteverde. The car ride was very comfortable and Dorian even gave me mini facts along the way and pointed out the wildlife. I HIGHLY recommend using his service. Very reliable and cost efficient. Dorian is great!
