Contratamos los puentes colgantes de Selvatura, el Canopy de 100% Aventura Park y el traslado hacia Alajuela. Todo funcionó perfecto y el trato fue muy amable y personal. Lo volveríamos a repetir! We booked the Selvatura Hanging Bridges, the 100% Aventura Park canopy tour, and the transfer to Alajuela. Everything worked perfectly, and the service was very friendly and personal. We would definitely do it again!

We were driven to Manuel Antonio from San Jose Airport by the fantastic driver Alvaro. He really looked after us, providing us with great information about Costa Rica and making a few quick stops to show us some great sights. Highly recommend.

We had a pleasant trip with Alvaro Vargas from Manuel Antonio to SJO airport. Alvaro came on time to pick us up at our hotel. His driving is smooth and professional. Flexible, he kindly stopped at a very nice authentic costa rican restaurant and fruits market at our request. Felt very safe and comfortable, we just relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful scenery all the way long to our destination. Will definitely recommend him to our friends and family.
