Best personalized tour experience ever. I don’t normally write reviews, but I really have to do this!!! I just returned from a fabulous week in Costa Rica. Stayed at the W Hotel Reservation Conchal. Hired Issys Tours to pick me up from the airport to the hour drive to Guanacaste. The driver, Adolfo, was excellent. My sister and I were a bit hungry and he was nice enough to stop at a fruit stand for us to buy fresh fruit. We weren’t interested in tours but he convinced us to do one tour to Palo Verde. Michael was our driver to Palo Verde and was so knowledgeable of historical information, when he dropped us off at the hotel, we booked another tour. Michael was absolutely phenomenal. Best experience ever. We had last minute flight changes as we decided to take a flight to Panama at 5:00 am. I contacted Esteban who arranged to have a driver arrive promptly to the hotel at 3:00 am. I highly recommend Issys tours. I will be returning to Costa Rica in June 2023 and will be making all my transportation arrangements with Issys Tours. They are flexible, professional, knowledgeable and have excellent work ethics.

Issys Tours treated our family like their own family...Thank you so much for the wonderful memories. We will cherish them foreve Spectacular experience in Costa Rica thanks to Issys Tours Costa Rica!!! My family and I want to thank Esteban and his staff for treating us like family!!! Highly recommended if you are interested in visiting Costa Rica!!! Issys Tours Costa Rica catered to all our needs, from reliable round-trip airport transfers to private boat excursions and more!!! Their private round-trip transfer was punctual, friendly and safe. Issys Tours booked our Buena Vista Mega Combo tour and their awesome private concierge, Michael, went above and beyond to make sure my family and I were safe and had an enjoyable experience. Thanks to Esteban, Issys Tours was able to book us on a few last minute excursions to visit the sloth sanctuary at Bijagua Rana with our wonderful and knowledgeable guide, Manuel, where we had many sloth encounters as well as other wild animals. This was a major highlight of our visit thanks to Issys Tours. Following our awesome visit to the sloth sanctuary, Esteban added a special visit for my family to the Café&Cacao Tour, where we learned about coffee and chocolate. Next, we headed to El Sabor De Doña Carmen for a delicious and authentic Costa Rican lunch and visited their majestic butterfly sanctuary. To top off our wonderful and perfect day, Esteban offered my family a private sunset boat tour with Captain Eduard and Carlos, who safely brought us to visit the mangroves and swim at the beautiful Playa Nacascolo. Again, my family and I are so grateful for taking care of us and treating us like your family!!!

Costa Rica Rain Forest, Hot Springs and Volcano Traveling with a Group of 6 can be challenging but not for the Issues Tour Group. This tour required a long drive with a very early departure from our hotel. Our guide Mike made it fun and interesting pointing the special feature of Costa Rica as we drove. The vehicle was comfortable, clean and had more than enough room for our group. Plus our guide gave us full instructions on the must haves as we prepared for our trip. We made a stop for breakfast and it was delicious. Our weather was not the best but our guide didn't let that stop him from making it the best possible for us. The rain forest was amazing in the off and on morning rain was we were prepared with all the correct gear. The hot springs was refreshing and eased the pains in our sore joints and muscles from the rain forest hike. The volcano was buried in clouds all day but that didn't detract from a great day had by all in our group. We finished with a wonderful meal that was absolutely amazing. The flavors in the foods and drinks were simply amazing!!!!

Waterfall and sloth encounter tour Michael did a fantastic job at giving us the tour of the waterfall and the sloth encounter. His knowledge of where to find sloths, monkeys, frogs and many other animals made our tour nothing short of memorable. We even got to see a sloth on the ground. We recommend him and Issy’s tours for your Costa Rica experience!

Awesome Coffee and Cacao Tour We took a private coffee and chocolate with Issy’s Tours. Our guide Norberto picked us up at our resort and was very knowledgeable about the area we drove through. Danny and Wilson fro the Coffee and Cacao Tours in Alajuela gave us a great experience. We finished up with an authentic Costa Rican lunch and a butterfly garden. Truly enjoyed our time. Would recommend 100%!
