Exceptional, Professional, and Reliable Private Transfers Across Costa Rica!

Our experience with Private Travel Costa Rica was exceptional from start to finish. We used their service for multiple transfers, including from San Juan airport to La Fortuna, between locations in La Fortuna, and from Tamarindo to Liberia International Airport. Every driver was amazing—on time, flexible, and extremely professional. The responsiveness of the entire team made coordinating our travel seamless and stress-free. We highly recommend them for any transportation needs in Costa Rica.

We had an excellent transfer from Tamarindo to San José with our driver, Johnny. He was friendly, funny, and made the long drive enjoyable for our entire group. One of the things we appreciated most was the option to pay for an hour long stop along the way. We were able to customize our trip with two intentional stops, which made the journey feel like part of the vacation instead of just transportation. The picture is from our stop at a waterfall and souvenirs shop. Also, there was some construction and traffic, but Johnny took a scenic alternate route that turned out to be a great experience. Overall, the ride was comfortable, professional, and stress-free. We were picked up at our villa and dropped off in front of our hotel. Quite a few transport services had pick up locations that were challenging due to our villa location. Private travel Costa Rica was one of the few places that gave the opportunity to list the address for pick up. It was very convenient, we would definitely recommend this service to anyone traveling between Tamarindo and San José!
