Everything that you arranged went perfect and the Drivers were always on time and drove safely through the mountains.

The hotels were great and loved the Ziplining.

We also did a horse back ride to a water fall by the Volcano and deep sea fishing on the Pacific. The horseback ride guide was awesome and waterfall/swimming was great, but be ready for an agressive hike back up the the horses.

I thought the company did a excellent job at planning our vacation down to every detail. The communication skills were excellent and everything was so well planned out. We did not have to make any decisions once we arrived in the country. The drivers and people running the tour, and Hotels were extremely friendly and welcoming. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat.

I am so grateful to My Costa Rica for planning a wonderful trip to celebrate my 60th birthday!
The whole team is so easy to work with and very knowledgeable. They absolutely nailed it! We moved around 3 times within 2 weeks, had several transfers and excursions planned there was not one glitch!
All of our accommodations were clean, perfectly located and comfortable. The team quickly responded to the few questions we had throughout the trip which we really appreciated.
My Costa Rica worked within our budget and never tried to up sell us which I really appreciated. My husband and I loved every minute of it and will use their services again for our next trip to Costa Rica

We recently returned from a wonderful 10-day Costa Rica Vacation. Having not previously been to Costa Rica, I began to search the web for information about vacations in that country, only to quickly become overwhelmed. Where to stay? One area or more than one area? How to get from one area to another? I happened across a company, My Costa Rica (CostaRica.org), that promised to tailor a vacation to our liking, time frame, interests, and activities. All of that at no cost to us. Too good to be true? Turns out, our trip was planned, a few modifications made in advance of our trip made with ease and efficiency, and off we went. All our accommodations, activities, and transfers from one place to another went without a hitch. My Costa Rica was available to us throughout the trip should there have been any problems. We had a wonderful, stress-free vacation. Many thanks to the team at My Costa Rica.

From the very very start to the departure from Costa Rica - we enjoyed a most "AWESOME" experience. Our vacation began during the planning phase, as soon as we settled on My Costa Rica as our expert advisors. We were 2 adults on our "honeymoon", having gotten married during Covid, and we brought along my two adult step-children. That meant a lot of wants, wishes and dreams to blend. I aimed very high presenting tour expert advisor Jason with very very high bar to meet. We went back and forth, back and forth and a few more back and forth till we nailed down our trip. Jason displayed expertise, flexibility, patience and open-mindedness. A less than great advisor would have pooped out or got impatient. Ultimately we nailed the trip which included culture, nature, athletics, cuisine, eco-farms, volcano, hot springs, chocolate, coffee, sugar, herbs, fruits, wildlife and internationals...and the friendly locals.

Jason and his team have experience with over 800 places, likely closing in on a 1000 by the time you read this. We enjoyed a sense of comfort that our trip would be close to what we imagined with a bit of space left for mystery and adventure. And we were delighted.

I'm glad we chose My Costa Rica to plan our Costa Rica vacation. Jason and his team spent almost 2 weeks going over multiple iterations of the itinerary with me, polishing it and ensuring it was right for my family. You could get the feeling that he understands very well that an itinerary is perfect when it's personalized. We had booked almost at the last minute for such a large vacation, but Jason was able to find us good hotels and alternatives almost like the back of his hand! The final itinerary was very detailed and available to access online.
The good part of My Costa Rica is that their door don't shut after you pay them the money. Not at all! They arranged top quality tour guides, private drivers and routes. But most importantly, their concierge team of Lorena, Kathleen and Alexandra were almost touring with us on whatsapp! Every message or question would receive a response within 2 minutes.
We also remember some of the wonderful drivers and tour guides they arranged for us - Albert (from Eco Terra), David, Abel, Karolina, Jeremy (Tucanes Tour) and Jose were absolutely amazing, knowledgeable and experts in their field. David, who was one of our drivers, went out of his way to make my kids experience the love for insects and butterflies.
Every private car driver was on-time and willing to accommodate special requests like rest breaks or breaks to enjoy local delicacy.
Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable and memorable!

We had been to Costa Rica before on our own but decided to use CostaRica.org to arrange this trip for us. They worked closely with us to develop an itinerary based on our needs and desires. The itinerary went through smooth revisions and they were always happy to accommodate our changes. We highly recommend the service that CostaRica.org provides and will definitely use them should we return to their beautiful country.

Jason Bateman and his entire team helped make our visit to Costa Rica the experience of a lifetime. He listened carefully and accommodated our wishes and budget (as did Lorena Guillen), and the execution of the trip itself was flawless. Drivers and guides alike were reliable, courteous, and informative (Abel's birding expertise was impressive). We lodged at Arenal Springs Resort where we viewed the Arenal Volcano from our breakfast table, and at a beachfront hotel near the entrance of Manuel Antonio Park. All lodging choices were ideal and every scheduled activity throughout our 7-night stay - and there were many options - was a success. Perhaps as important, communication before and throughout our stay was outstanding. Bravo and Pura Vida!

Jason Bateman was far and away the best travel agent I have ever dealt with. He was understanding in our bucket list of things to do in Costa Rica. I changed ininerarys atleast 6 times, each time with his help improving our stay. He and his travel agency are the most accommodating and efficient agency, the platinum standard. 5 stars on all parameters, highly recommend!!

I highly recommend using My Costa Rica to plan your trip. They started by asking questions about our what types of activities we were interested in, what level of accommodations we wanted, and then proceeded to arrange a perfect trip for us, including the Arenal Volcano area, and MonteVerde cloud forest. The itinerary was very detailed, and available on-line. The tours and guides they arranged were top notch! Don't go anywhere without a tour guide or you'll miss more than half of the animal life, as they are so well camouflaged for survival. The tour guides were experts in their field and very informative and fun. Every driver was on-time, and willing to accommodate special requests like stopping at the store or pharmacy. The Trip hosts contacted us several times to ensure all was well and ask if we had any needs or questions, which we did not, because everything was so well arranged! Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable and memorable!

Our family of 8 just returned from an amazing trip coordinated by My Costa Rica (CostaRica.org). From the very first communication to formulate a travel plan, My Costa Rica was informative, knowledgeable, helpful, and willing to listen. They were prompt and professional with emails and phone calls, modified our itinerary multiple times for excursions, shuttles, accommodations. Shuttle service was consistently on time, clean, and safe. Drivers were courteous and happy to share about Costa Rican life. Lodging exceeded expectations in La Fortuna (Lomas del Volcan), Monteverde (Hotel Ficus), and Conchal (Westin). At check-in rooms were ready. Excursions included guided hikes, hanging bridges, hot springs, waterfalls, and coffee plantation. Excursions were on time and even better than advertised. A special shout-out is in order to tour guide Jeffrey at El Trapiche Coffee. He was outstanding. We had absolutely no snags in any of our plans throughout the ten-day trip. Being new to using a travel company, I would like to thank Jason and Lorena and associates of My Costa Rica for providing an outstanding experience. I would not hesitate to recommend their services.

"I cannot speak highly enough of My Costa Rica. From the moment I reached out to them to plan my dream vacation, I was met with professionalism, enthusiasm, and expertise. The travel agents took the time to understand my interests and preferences, crafting a personalized itinerary that I could not have designed better. I felt well taken care of every step of the way and cannot wait for my upcoming trip. I would not hesitate to recommend My Costa Rica to anyone looking to plan their costa Rician adventure."

We (family of 4) just got back from our trip in the rainforest and then Pacific coast. I can't express how beautiful this place is and how beautiful the people are. My family of 4 felt right at home from the minute we landed in Liberia and were greeted by our driver. We had a 3.5 drive to the rainforest and our driver was our personal tour guide. It did not feel like a long day of travel, but more like a great travel experience. My Costa Rica and all service staff during our trip were focused on one thing: making our experience stress-free and unforgettable. I couldn't have picked better places to stay or activities to participate in because I'm not an expert as the staff at My Costa Rica are. I stumbled upon this agency and trusted my gut and they did not disappoint. Safety, quality, effortless, ask and you shall receive experience. Walk-in in the treetops and steeping in the relaxing waters with one in a billion views... So amazing. I am grateful. I trust this company completely and I do my research. You will be satisfied and taken care of when you book your trip with My Costa Rica.

Jason and his team did a phenomenal job at planning our 20 day's journeys throughout Costa Rica - from having wonderful English-speaking drivers who had spacious clean vans that took & picked us up at each of the locations we visited. We are 75 & 70 - so if you think you're too old to explore Costa Rica - think again! Jason & his team will cater to your specific abilities and guide you along the way.

If you are looking for a perfectly planned and organized trip you have found the company to book with. Do you want stress free trip where all your transfers are organized for you? Where the drives show up on time in clean AC vehicles? Do you want to know where to go based on your own interests? Hotels that fit your budget, wants and needs? My Mom and I wanted this. And let me tell you My Costa Rica nailed it. We had a trip that was exactly what we wanted. They can recommend the best places to go and work with you to build the trip package of your dreams.
We traveled all over Costa Rica and feel we really got to explore all the best places. Lorena Guillén's communication leading up to our trip kept us informed with suggested blogs to read, what to pack and what we can expect going into the national parks. Admissions that were recommended to prebooked ect. We can't thank My Costa Rica enough for a extraordinary Mother / Daughter trip of a life time!

My Costa Rica did a fantastic job or organizing our trip. Even though we just started to plan in late fall, they were able to get us into the best hotels over the New Year's holiday. We stayed a few nights in the dry rain forest, the wet rain forest and finally the cloud forest. Each place was different and special in its own way. The Rio Celeste Hideaway, though expensive, was the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in and well worth the extra money. Our balcony was literally in the rain forest and we spent quite a bit of time just relaxing and enjoy the sounds and beauty of the forest. My Costa Rica was organized and had an extensive itinerary which was easy to follow. They also broke down all the prices so you could see exactly what you paid for each hotel and activity. So many companies just bundle everything together so you never know what you're really paying for. We will definitely have them plan our next trip to Costa Rica.

The planning of our trip My Costa was terrific. They accommodated all our wishes regarding start times and preferences of hotel types and activities into the itinerary.

We were well looked after from start to finish, and the team at My Costa Rica kept us informed of any delays or changes along the way. We stayed at 5 different locations during the 2 1/2 weeks, ranging from lodges on the Pacific Coast to small boutique hotels. . The 'icing on the cake' was finishing at El Silenco Lodge and Spa. 5*++.

Each transfer was smoothly accomplished, and usually with only us in the comfortable van! Their excellent driver/guides know all the best places to stop for coffee or lunch along the way, and are sure to take your personal interests into account-like the best places to spot birds or wildlife along the way, as well as having great coffee or a good typical Costa Rican lunch!

The arranged tours were first class-a coffee plantation, Chocolate making, Mangrove tour, and wonderful bird watching tours, based out of the Trogan Lodge among others.

This was our second trip using My Costa Rica to plan our stay. We would not hesitate to recommend this company.

We hd a great time! Our favorite place to stay was Los Lagos as there were things to do outside of scheduled activities. The property had walking paths, a gift shop which sold snacks so we did not have to rely on the restaurants for food. Of course my son and grandson loved the zip lining, and we took ourselves to the hanging bridges which we all enjoyed. We saw monkeys, birds and wild pigs.

Monte Verde was next. We went on a night walk, but unfortunately it was raining. Still we saw palm vipers, birds and a monkey. The next morning the sun was out and we ventured into the cloud forest again for a walk. I wish it would have been more a hike, but the forest was impressive.

We ended up in Guanacaste right on the beach. We welcomed the warmth and spent time playing in the water and looking for shells. The crabs on the beach entertained us and we enjoyed the snorkeling.

We loved the diversity of the area, from the rain forests to the beach. Pick-up times were accurate and drivers were always on time and welcoming.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?

Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.

Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.

As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:

Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.

Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.

So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
