Bernal and Tico Tours Guanacaste is one of the main reasons we keep going back to Costa Rica. He makes all of our adventures memorable and we feel as if he is family. No matter what it is you want to do, Bernal can get it done. We would love to put him in our luggage and bring him home with us but if we did that he wouldn't be there in Costa Rica to take care of us. We will just settle for visiting as much as possible. Bernal & Alvero, your the BEST!!! Love you guys.

Our trip was so much more than a vacation….it was an adventure!!    Each day was spent doing something completely different…horseback riding through the beautiful country of Costa Rica, hiking trails to discover magnificent waterfalls, discovering wildlife while boating on the Tempisque River, and an exciting and breathtakingly beautiful rafting trip on the Colorado River.

Bernal is a PHENOMENAL tour guide…..but it’s so much more than a tour….he ensures that you’re completely immersed in the warm and friendly Costa Rican culture.  We shared many meals with the gracious locals and they welcomed us with open arms.  Bernal is extremely organized, always on time, flexible and goes above and beyond to ensure you have an experience you’ll cherish forever.  We highly recommend him!!
Thanks for a fantastic time, Bernal!!  We miss you and hope to soon you soon!

We had a WONDERFUL vacation! There aren't enough superlatives to describe the beauty we encountered at every turn.
One of the highlights of our vacation was our tour guide, Bernal Mata of Tico Tours. Bernal went out of his way to make sure that we enjoyed the tours we went on. We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Costa Rica. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly loves what he does.
Thanks again for everything. We are already planning our next visit because, as Levi says, "Costa Rica ROCKS!"
Pura Vida!

My family truly enjoyed our trip to Costa Rica and look forward to returning soon.
A quick note about the exceptional service we received from Bernal w/Tico tours. Our trip to Arenal was terrific and he made sure we enjoyed the day. He even took time the next day to pick us up and practice soccer with my daughter at a local soccer field. You have beautiful country with very nice people.
Thanks,

I recently had the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica spending a week in the province of Guanacaste. Before leaving, I read the reviews of tour companies on Trip Advisor and booked two tours and airport transfers with Bernal Mata who owns and operates Tico Tours Guanacaste. I cannot say enough about how phenomenal he and his employees were. With him we toured the Arenal Volcano and the Monteverde Cloud Forest. His english is excellent, his cars immaculate, and his employees - knowlegeable, prompt, and superb drivers. The latter is extremely important because the roads that we encountered in these areas are predominantly rock strewn and unpaved. Bernal and his ace driver, Alvaro are so enthusiastic and possess a wealth of information on the history, geography, and wildlife that abound in Costa Rica. They went above and beyond to point out many different and unusual birds, mammals, and amphibians - often parking on the side of a road to show them to us so we could photograph them.........
