matthew renard
2 weeks agoJulio, Jorge, and Jeffery were all excellent drivers. All communication was quick and easy. I would 100% recommend using their services! Will be traveling with them next time I’m in Costa Rica
Pedro Silva
2 weeks agoMy family and I had a great experience with this company. The van we used was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Julio, our driver was always on time, he was polite, and very knowledgeable about Costa Rica and its whereabouts. On the way to places, he showed us sloths, howler monkeys and macaws, and he also took us to local food places to eat real Costa Rican food. We felt very safe while being with him. I strongly recommend Can’t wait Travel and Julio for all your travels. Pura vida!

2 weeks agoCan’t Wait Travel should get ten stars if I could. Julio drove us on two long trips, stopping along the way when my kids needed a break, showing us sloths, howler monkeys, and many birds. We felt super safe the entire time, and they included two booster seats free of charge. Prices were reasonable; Jorge was exceptionally communicative and thanks to them, our trip was flawless. They even answered our million questions about everything and helped us arrange a few tours. Super thrilled that we booked with them. Highest recommendation.

2 weeks agoJulio was awesome! The drive from La Fortuna/Rainforest to Jacko Beach was really beautiful and took us through some small towns that were great. We stopped at El Jardin to see the butterflies and was really good for spotting toucans & macaws. Totally work with them again
