TESTIMONIALS

Below are testimonials from past clients:

"During our trip with Tico Guide Travel, Salvador showed us an amazing time in Costa Rica. From horseback riding through the rainforest, living like locals on a rural organic farm, or hiking to some of the most pristine beaches and streams in the world, there was never a dull moment. If you have an adventurous spirit and want to see the real Costa Rica, I highly recommend exploring it on one of Salvador's personal tours of Costa Rica."
- Matthew McDermid, San Francisco

We had the most fabulous time ever in Costa Rica, thanks to you. Just a note to let you know how much I appreciated your preparations for our trip to Costa Rica! It was truly amazing and enjoyable. Many many thanks for the trip of a lifetime! Thank you and we look forward to returning to Costa Rica...soon!

Somewhat late in the game, my friend and I decided on Costa Rica as our vacation destination. We knew what activities we wanted, but had no familiarity with the country. After one meeting with Salvador, we had a solid itinerary for our two week vacation and even greater enthusiasm for our trip. Salvador's insight and experience with the country and tico culture was invaluable in directing us to fun and exciting places to visit and things to do. In addition, he took care of hotel bookings and flight arrangements and, for our "free-floating" time, provided us with recommendations for hotels and activities. Our trip was a wonderful experience from beginning to end and Salvador's travel advice and assistance made it happen!
- Nancy Thompson, San Francisco

"IT WAS ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRIES I HAVE BEEN. Sorry, I didn't mean to yell but this is the exciting and wonder feeling I have, every time when I think of my experience in Costa Rica. Salvador did a fabulous job of suggesting where we should go, what we should do and what we should eat to experience the true Costa Rica. Everything that Salvador told me was on the dot, like what time the bus would come, how much the bus fare would be and how long the bus/airplane would take. I felt Salvador was there with us the whole time leading us through Costa Rica. I definitely suggest everyone I know who fancies Costa Rica to contact Tico Guide Travel for any consultation. Pura Vida!"
- Samantha Low, San Francisco

"Salvador did a fantastic job. We wanted to plan a last-minute trip to Costa Rica and didn’t have time to do much research. In only one week’s time, we had flights, hotels, and plans all organized! The itinerary Salvador planned was perfect and all his tips/suggestions were right on. With Tico Guide Travel my first (and definitely not last!) trip to Costa Rica was completely stress-free."
- Sheryl Koga, San Francisco

"If you want to have a "real" vacation that is stress free, I would highly recommend using Tico Guide Travel services for planning your Costa Rican adventure! My friend and I used it, and had an amazing time. With only a week's notice, Salvador was planning our trip and catering it exactly to the type of adventure that we wanted. We didn't have to worry about how we were going to get places, where we were going to stay, what the area was like, etc. Salvador listened to our preferences, and then made knowledgeable and invaluable suggestions. He took care of all the major details of our trip, and it allowed us to relax and really enjoy our vacation. I would recommend using Tico Guide Travel for anyone considering a trip to Costa Rica!"
- Nikki Yoshikawa, San Francisco

"Salvador did a fabulous job and made our trip to Costa Rica much more enjoyable and well over the top!"
- Ellen Ferrato, San Francisco

"We had never been to Costa Rica and were looking for an affordable experience off the beaten path. From hotel rooms with volcanic views to white water rafting trips through the rainforest, Salvador helped us find a unique Costa Rica not found in any tourbook."
- Alex Plant, San Francisco

"Thanks so much for all your help in planning our first trip to Costa Rica. Your immediate updates and suggestions via email really made a difference in our trip. Not to mention all of the contacts you gave us. We had a wonderful trip and all of our lodgings were great. We loved it so much we purchased a house. Can't wait to get back there."
- Patrice Archuleta, Lyle, Washington

"Tico Guide Travel helped me plan a trip to Costa Rica. Salvador was able to take care of my transportation, lodging, and tours based on my budget and hobbies. His knowledge of the area and the handy guide that is customized for your trip allowed me to enjoy myself without worrying about the details that can sometimes turn a vacation into work!"
- Brent Lee, San Francisco

"I have traveled to various parts of the world and I can say with confidence that my experience in Costa Rica was most remarkable in many ways. The country was incredibly beautiful with its natural environment still left intact and the people were exremely friendly. It was refreshing to meet people who genuinely loved and respected their country as well as each other. I know that the primary reason my experience was so wonderful was because I was able to get the advice, support, and aid from Salvador at Tico Guide Travel, who made all of the arrangements and had incredible knowledge of Costa Rica. All I had to do was show up and enjoy the ride."
- Michelle Kyung, San Francisco

"My trip to Costa Rica was amazing. I traveled with friends who had previously been there but decided to do some of my own research beforehand. After looking through some travel books and various websites I contacted Salvador just a few days before my trip. He gave me an insight into Costa Rica that I didn't find in any of the books or sites I looked at. In a short period of time he sent me information on hotels, restaurants, surf spots and quite beaches. His travel tips guided us to the most amazing towns in Costa Rica".
- Azadeh Nashat, Los Angeles

"Tico Guide Travel was a huge help to us in planning our trip to Thailand. The fact that our guide had spent a great deal of time where we were going and that he had pictures of all of the places we were interested in visiting made the planing process much easier. We also got advice about places not to be missed and some to be avoided - that information was priceless!"
- Sarah Low, San Francisco
