We had an amazing shuttle transit from San Jose to Sierpe with our driver Juan Carlos Ramon. The journey was smooth and relaxed, and Juan Carlos told us amazing facts and insights about Costa Rica during our trip.

So good, so pleased. Juan Carlos was very pleasant and quite the tour guide on our 5 hr. excursion. We had pre-paid for our transportation from Tamarindo to San Jose but the day before we were to leave we decided to go to Jaco for a few days. When we booked it it stipulated we couldn’t change the itinerary but he was more than accommodating and took straight to our new hotel. He gave us great insight into Cosat Rica and even introduced us to an outstanding lunch place. Now he will pick us up in a few days so we can continue to our original destination. Three cheers for Juan Carlos. We highly appreciate and recommend him!
