Stories from Happy Adventurers
More than a tour, we create memories that last a lifetime. Hear what our adventurers have to say.

"Mario made our honeymoon trip absolutely perfect. His knowledge of wildlife is incredible and he took us to places we would never have found on our own. We saw sloths, monkeys and toucans!"

"I was the owner of an hostel in San José for 5 years and Mario has been there since the beginning. Not only was he the taxi driver that I always called for my clients but he was also very helpful in many other ways, helping me everytime that I needed help or information. Mario became a friend. Thank you Mario for all of your help and good work!"

"I came to Costa Rica alone to prepare for a tourist group arriving a few days later. I was incredibly lucky to find Mario — at first, I just expected him to drive me to explore the areas around San José. But Mario turned out to be an exceptional guide: professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about his country. He introduced me to hidden gems I would never have discovered on my own and helped me accomplish my research with ease. To this day, Mario remains one of the first people I reach out to whenever I travel to Costa Rica. I trust him unconditionally."

"Mario showed us the most authentic Costa Rica. With three small children, we needed flexibility and patience - Mario was perfect. The children can't stop talking about the monkeys."
