5.0

Trustworthy, honest, friendly company and drivers!

A+ Service! Byron and Osling are really great drivers and very pleasant to travel with. I had friendly conversations with them, and they helped with my luggage and quickly got me to both destinations with no problems. Leandro was in constant contact making sure I was safe when I arrived in San José. My flight even got turned around mid-air, and Leandro accommodated my needs! I had booked a private shuttle, and when a group shuttle opened up, they offered to switch me to save money as I was traveling alone. Really honest and trustworthy company and people! Will book with these guys again for sure. Pura Vida!
