My 14 year old son and I did 4 tours & excursions with Tico Tours and each one was better then the next! David Bello was our guide for most of the tours and he was the BEST! He was knowledgeable, kind, patient and really cared about providing an incredible experience. I highly recommend these guys! Everything was amazing, even the Customer service. I can’t thank you guys enough for truly making our time in Costa Rica a memorable one!

My husband and I loved the cultural experience, the fascinating Tampisque River tour, the delicious lunch at the Hacienda El Viejo, and most especially, our fabulous tour guide, Jose! He was super informative and accommodating, very pleasant to be around, and made us feel comfortable.

Tico Tours Guanacaste's Cultural & Safari Boat is a half day treat. Our very educated guide picked us up in the morning and made us feel happy and relaxed immediately. We drove past Filadelfia and learnt about this city's history and relationship to the Tempisque River. On your way to the 100+ year old hacienda, stopping for a picture at the Space Radar is a must. Costa Rica is a delightful mixture of hight tech and nature conservancy. We felt at home enjoying the coffee, rum, sugar cane and tortillas cultural experience. The church owl was the cherry on top. On the boat safari the exuberant vegetation and peace of the Tempisque River would have been enough treat and we saw monkeys, birds, basilisks, crocodiles in many stages of life and even bats! Back at the hacienda for lunch we had traditional costarrican casado with beans made with love and sweet ripe plantains that melt in your mouth...

What a fun trip! We got to see the 'natural' side of Costa Rica traveling through the sugar cane fields and small villages. Trip down the Tempisque was awesome, teeming with wildlife (unnerving if you don't like crocodiles as there were A LOT of crocodiles). But our boat captain, Manual had it all under control and was able to get us around and helped point out a number of different types of birds, monkeys , bats etc. Then it was off to lunch at the Coyote Ranch which was awesome. Good food and atmosphere. Got lessons on local pottery and the extraction of sugar cane juice! Our driver, Christian was excellent. Strongly recommend.

Excellent tour of the culture and the Tempisque river that flows through Palo Verde. The tour was longer than expected and our guide was warm, patient and friendly and very knowledgeable especially about the wildlife on the river. A great way to spend 6 hours!
