Our private tour with Jose was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. Play Grande Tours completely tailored our itinerary to fit all of the things we wanted to do. It was clear from the start that Jose was going to ensure that we had the best day possible. I highly recommend this company and when we come back, we already know who we are booking with!

Incredibly responsive, friendly, and prompt service. Recommend to me by a local and would recommend now as a recent visitor.
Just came back from a week in playa grande and used this company’s services for transportation. Everyone was a Pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend
Driver was on time and very happy to help with bags. The van was clean and the driver was friendly. I could not ask for better
Playa Grande Shuttle & Tours was wonderful to work with! Jose was a wonderful chauffeur during our day long excursion to Monteverde, the Cloud Forrest and lunch! Lunch at a local restaurant was a great experience and great food! They also did an amazing job arranging a photographer for us to take family photos on the beach! Highly recommend Playa Grande Shuttle & Tours for any travel needs in Costa Rica!
I feel so lucky to have found Playa Grande Shuttles & Tours. We used several of their services during our recent trip to Costa Rica including a planning a day long itinerary with a driver as well as two tours and a return trip to the airport. Everything was great. They were highly responsive and very easy to work with. Thank you to the whole team!
This company was absolutely amazing to work with! In addition to the great communication and reliable service, our driver, Jose was one of the best! When I come back, I am absolutely requesting him and so happy I got to meet one of the nicest people out there! Of note, we used this service for multiple purposes on several days and the high-quality service was consistent.
Our driver and guide, Jose, was great. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He was accommodating and very kind. WE felt very safe with him, which I think is important. Needless to say, he made our time that much better and was one of the favorite parts of our trip!
Amazing vacation experience because of the tours arranged by Ariel and company! We had a four day, private driver/guide named José who took our family all over to our various planned excursions (national parks, waterfalls, snorkeling, ziplining, coffee tours) who became part of the family, with recommendations of traditional foods and translating for us. Already planning another trip next year and will definitely use Ariel and José again! Without a doubt, our favorite family vacation so far, and we have Playa Grande Tours to thank for it!
Our tour guide Dennis was excellent he was so patient with us a group of 6 if we ever come back we’re requesting Dennis and the tour was everything the atv the hot springs what a wonderful trip
Dennis was the BEST tour guide…! We enjoyed a customized tour for our group that included meals……!!!
We absolutely loved every aspect of our tour! Our tour guide, Dennis, made our experience the best!!
If you are seeking a Reiki practitioner who possesses an obvious calling and gift for this healing modality, I highly recommend Manuela Brunelli. My first sense of how special Manuela is – was while attending a yoga class which she was teaching. She engaged personally with everyone in the class, and took time to tune in to each of our special needs. When she mentioned after class that she was also a Reiki practitioner, I immediately made an appointment for myself and my husband. I am not new to Reiki, and have had sessions previously. However, this one with Manuela for me, was the most calming and transformative one that I have ever had. The biggest thing that I must mention, is the shift I observed in my husband’s mental clarity following his session with her. In the months previous to our visit to Costa Rica, he had been exhibiting symptoms of foggy brain and memory loss. And after that one session with Manuela, his thinking, his attitude, and his memory all showed improvement. I call her my angel. It is my impression that Manuela definitely has a gift for this healing modality, for tuning in to the essence of each individual, and creating an atmosphere of calm and trust. I highly recommend her if you are looking for this level of experience.
During a weeklong yoga retreat at Playa Grande in Costa Rica, I had Reiki healing with Manuela. Manuela carries with her a very powerful energy. She's like pure sunlight. After limping for 8 years, I assumed my MS was unstoppable now. But, after 1 hour of Reiki with Manuela, I was able to rotate my hip and feel the tightness loosening. Powerful stuff. Highly recommend Manuela for Reiki
During our two week stay in Playa Grande Costa Rica we were lucky to meet this wonderful yoga instructor, Micaela. We experienced wonderful yoga and Reiki sessions! She was such a gifted practitioner and we highly recommend her to anyone searching for a great experience!
The attention and Service of Playa Grande Shuttle & Tours during our stay in Costa Rica made our trip much more enjoyable, as we were able to rely on them for all our transportation and tours. The kindness and courtesy of the owners, drivers, and Salem is admirable. I definitely recommend them and we will be contacting them on our next trips to Costa Rica. Thanks for everything! See you next time 😊
