Our driver Allan was great. We had an exceptionally long, wait in immigration. Allan had already contacted me to let me know he was waiting. I advised him it would probably be a while and it took us an hour and a half. He was waiting there for us patiently. As we drove through the city, he gave us so much information about places we could visit. it was almost like having a tour guide. I would not hesitate to book this service again.

Easy to find outside the terminal and Flory was a great driver! Well worth booking to get from the airport to your destination.
Driver was very respectful and responsible. He slowed down so we could take pictures. He was wonderful
I was picked up from airport, and taken to Hilton Grand Curio. Took a minute to find the person with the sign with my name, but not a deal breaker. Driver was great.
The driver was very nice and got us there safely. Not much else to say as it was an airport transfer.
Driver arrived promptly and found us. Vehicle was very comfy and we had a lot of space even for our extra bags. Definitely would recommend and would book again.
Amazing service! They were on time and drove safely to our destination. I highly recommend. We also asked for a custom sign and they helped with that.
Seamless pickup and they were super accommodating for the delays at customs which we were very grateful for.
Our driver arrived dead on time. He was super considerate of his passengers. He tried to import information about the environment to the best of his ability in English.
Very easy to meet at airport with directions. He was a good driver, interactive and conversive Would recommend
Ride never showed up. I was left at the airport for hours. When I called the driver he hung up on me and did not answer subsequent phone calls from both me and Viator. I was forced to find alternate transportation.
We informed to walk to a certain restaurant to meet our driver. When we figured out where the restaurant was, the was no driver. It turns out that the driver was in her car and expected us to know where she was parked. There should have been better communication.
They made sure they found me and the driver was very pleasant. I was very relaxed and the driver made sure I was satisfied with the radio music playing.
The company sent me clear and easy instructions about the meeting place. It's easy to follow. Mary (the driver) is super friendly and nice. She also sent me Whatsapp messages prior to my arrival and once I arrived. The car is very comfortable and clean.
After exiting the airport, I was met by my driver holding a soon with my name. We walked to her car and away we went!
This trip was cancelled- I did not cancel it and all of a sudden got a cancellation notice with a refund. As it happened the day I was to land I was left scrambling for transportation as it was all booked - I ended up with a taxi.
It was no show , they never picked us up! We end up going with another person, it was not a company it was a friend of the person from the 3rd party company , also we waited like 1/2 hr at the airport while they were looking for someone else to pick us up!
Fernando was on time and extremely polite and friendly with great recommendations for my week in Costa Rica.
The pick-up was easy and smooth, and the driver was friendly and helpful. I was very appreciative of the ease of getting off the plane and getting to the hotel safely.
3rd time I’ve booked through this channel. 1st time was good. 2nd time 1/2 hour late. This time 1 hour late and asking for a tip.
Our driver was amazing she was very friendly, had loads of great tips for us and made sure we got in our accommodation safely.
Very easy and reliable. Great communication. Safe driving. My phone was not working right and the driver was patient and punctual.
Transportation never showed up. Very disappointing. My family and I took ivermectin 2 hours to find transportation from the airport. Thank god someone from the airport helped us and found us a ride to our destination. We had to pay $160 after we paid $200 for a service we never used.
Excellent! Stayed in communication through What App and was there waiting even though our flight was delayed 2 hours. Super friendly and safe when driving in some crazy traffic.
Reliable and courteous . Prompt and friendly service. I would highly recommend them for transportation. A ++++ service
Smooth pickup from airport. The driver kept in contact from start to finish. The directions were very clear.
Traffic is really bad in San José. Otherwise I felt completely safe and enjoyed our driver, Lenny, a lot.
Driver never showed up or answered had to take a taxi at 11pm to my destination after waiting and calling for 45 minutes outside
Our driver ( Lyn) was punctual, knowledgeable and informative. She was a good welcome after a long flight.
It was well coordinated and driver was pleasant and courteous. Found my destination with no difficulty
Check for signs with your name as soon as you exit the airport. The driver did not stand in front of the assigned spot.
It wasn't exactly what we expected. We were contacted after arrival and told exactly where to meet. When we arrived at the location no one was there to meet us and did not answer the phone when we tried to call him. Eventually we found a person with our name on a sign outside of the designated pick up area. We were then told to wait 15-20 min for a driver. We were then picked up by a small, personal car with a driver who could not speak English. He did deliver us to the correct hotel and was a good driver. I had expected a more comfortable transfer from the airport to our hotel.
Driver was pleasant, on time, easy to locate at San Jose CR airport. Online communication worked well. No one answered phone from airport.
This service was exceptional ! The greeter snd driver were friendly and helpful. This was a fantastic way to start our visit- with a low stress pick up.
Easy to locate at SJO. Great connection to driver and great communications from provider. Great value too.
Driver did not show up. Received a call that he was in the parking lot and would meet us at the designated area in 2 minutes. 15 minutes later he still had not arrived. We took a cab. I can not find a way to contact Viator to get a refund. Very poor service.
Easy to book through Viator. However it took the local shuttle company 45 minutes to find and get us in their shuttle at the airport. We were standing directly in front of the restaurant as directed by the company in their instructions however they could not find us. Finally a worker named Alex came with a sign with our names - Yay! He moved us to another location on a busy curb and said he would return with the driver. Another long wait. Then a nice lady from the company kept trying to call us on What's App which, frankly I'm not that familiar with this app although I did download it prior to the trip. Was I supposed to have their phone numbers pre-loaded? So I had to try and figure that app out while standing on a noisy airport curb in a foreign country. Eventually we spoke by phone and she found us. She told us the driver had been caught in traffic. Finally the driver arrived and we got underway. I was also confused about who I should tip since I dealt with three people - two at the airport and one driver. The company people were pleasant, but it was not a smooth operation.
Very pleased with how they handled our situation. Our flight arrived at SJO at 11:57 pm and the ride was scheduled for 1 am (next day) to our hotel. No driver showed up so eventually we took a cab. The next morning I found I had mistakenly given them the wrong day. Without hesitation they refunded my charges. Very thankful they cleared this up and we could start our vacation on the right foot!
Driver Johnny M. was on time. He texted us the meeting point on Whatsapp. He was courteous and professional. Car was clean. He drove us safely to hotel.
My flight was delayed and we missed our flight to San Jose and didn’t make our shuttle. Shuttle would not allow changes to be picked up the next day on the only flight we could get to San Jose
It was excellent. Our driver, Cosme was fantastic. Punctual and very friendly. Got us to our hotel with ease.
Our fly delay from Tehnical reason In the message receive from you we was info that driver will message to us - nothing no message receive At the airport nobody wait for us we call many times to emergency no and text them no answer Also a local security guard call them and they don’t answer As last solution we take a. Taki So please refund our amount
Mostly good. Had to search for contact person. Outside of told waiting spot. He was busy talking with friends. Driver very nice and made good effort to communicate with us.
Trip was well organized by Viator, professionalism from the time I book the trip to my arrival to San Jose.
Our transport from SJO airport to our hotel was perfect. Our driver texted and followed up with a call to welcome us to Costa Rica and remind us where he will be waiting for us. Johnny was easy to find and greeted us with pleasure. He shared features and things to do and eat while in Costa Rica. The drive was smooth. He also spoke English which was helpful. Thank you Johnny!
Fantastic!! Door to door with no problems! Fast, simplistic, no-worry service! Love Johnny!!!! Thank you
This is the BEST way to get into Costa Roca from the airport! Instructions are clear and all about keeping you safe in unfamiliar terrain. Connecting with staff via WhatsApp and onsite was efficient. And our driver? Amazing! With her little English and my poor Spanish, we had the best time talking during the ride. Lola was warm and friendly, made us feel welcome and confident in our language skills. What a perfect way to start our vacation.
Company was available when I needed to communicate to help connect with the driver. Staff was very friendly and professional. Perfect start to our Costa Ruca adventures.
Awful experience. Van didn’t pick us up. Tried calling with nobody picking up the phone. Wr called Viator and they credited and then later got a message the driver had an accident. Why wouldn’t someone contact us from their office and let us know? Being stranded in a foreign country and scrambling for other arrangements with small children is stressful. Don’t book this!!!
Pick up, drop off, and the ride was very smooth. Everything went as planned and I would use this company again. However, be aware that this company does not use marked “turismo” vehicles, rather they use private vehicles (similar to an Uber experience).
